Mini-album/Card

This is from one paper bag. I think it would make a great card like mini-album thingy. It would be perfect for a boy on his birthday. It was really easy adding those eyelets to bag with my Cropidile. I love the fact that you can add as many tags as you want because the pocket is so large. I want to add a piece of velcro so that the whole thing closes perfectly. Oh btw, I made the little "just for you" embellishment with a stamp and a little epoxy dot. I like!

My favorite glue

I know that the picture is blurry, but you can still see how it looks like. I love this adhesive and I can now never scrap without it, it keep everything in place, and it will even glue down metal, so this one, is a keeper.

Paper pieced giraffes

These are my giraffes for the little rhyme book. I think they are sooo cool.

Nancy's layouts

Nancy,

I think these are my two favorite layouts from the ones that you sent me. I love the colors and I love the theme. I would have done the second picture more about them being brothers than about them singing, so the way you though about the whole thing really inspires me to look a thinsg a little different. I just love all the elements on these pages too. Love the paper clips on the top one and the stars, chain, picks, and tickets on the other one. It really gives these old pictures a great look. :o)

Wooden block puzzle

This is my first puzzle block. I messed up on it a little bit, but I learned a lot for the next one. Here's a tip, use strong tough paper, and it is better when the pictures are cut up instead of folded.

Falling Leaves

This is the September challenge for Divas 2 with the pictures in place. I only need to finish the journaling.

Workshop information

Register for my workshops

You can register for my workshops here: https://www.union.ufl.edu/leisure/secure/category.asp?subj=arts
The two workshops offered are,

Course#: 9011 Scrapbooking workshop: October 13th
and
Course#: 9010 Holiday Scrapbooking workshop: December 1st
$15 pays for one day.
Make sure that my name Carolina Diaz is listed next to instructor.

What are we going to do? We will be working on 2 or 3 projects that you will be making from scratch, this website has some examples of the many possible projects we will be working on.

Do I bring pictures? Please bring pictures if you want, and if you are please bring a lot of them. Like maybe around 30, we might not use all of them, but just bring them.

What else do I have to bring? Well you don't have to bring anything, but if you have already started scrapbooking then you can bring some of your stuff if you want, like your favorite papers or embellishments or pictures.

I have started a scrapbook already, is this class for me? Don't worry, I will show you the wonders of mini-albums and many techniques to go with them. You will walk out of my class full of inspiration and ideas that can be applied to the scrapbook you are already working on.

What if there is no more space in any of the classes? Well, I am pretty certain that if you can get 10 people, then it will be possible to open another workshop and this time you can choose from a mini-albums or a regular scrapbooking class.

I want to take another class. Well I am pretty sure that next Spring I will have a 7 day class, and it will be very different from the workshop but just as great if not better with all the different projects that I have to offer, and many more techniques and ideas.

I have more questions. Then please send me an email with them at caro3600@gmail.com

2007 album

Just wanted to post some of my other layouts.

Tag wallet

This is a tag wallet that I made for my friend Nancy. The little wallet is made from an altered 12x12 inch piece of paper (you have to cut it a little, can't remember how much), and folded just right to accommodate two pockets in the outside and two on the inside. With the little extra strip, I was able to decorate all 6 tags.

Snow globe paper piecing

This is a quicker and smaller version of the other snow globe that I did with my Cricut. This is the one that I am sending to you Nancy. I am sending all the main parts, you just have to but it together. I did this one as an example.

Cricut calendar

I didn't do this calendar, but I just thought it was so great that I had to post it. I think I am going to try and do one myself with my Cricut machine.

Matchbox mini-album

This is a Matchbox mini-album, really easy to make and it holds a lot of pictures. This one has a friendship theme.

Happy 21 maze mini-album

This album I made for my big sister and her 21st birthday. It is another example of the maze album. And this one even has its own decorated box where it fits perfectly.
