Flag craft for the 4th

Happy 4th of July!

This is the flag at The Burbank Airport, well actually I believe it's the Bob Hope Airport now.
This is a super easy and quick craft project for today. I simply cut the flags off of a garland and using a glue dot adhered them to little hair clips. They can be worn in the hair or clipped to just about anything!
And on another celebratory note, I would like to wish Mickey and Ann of CraftTv.com, The Scrapbook Lounge and Plum and Verdigris a Happy Anniversary! Here they are goofing around on a shoot day with their walkie talkies and ear pieces, a commentary on successful communicating????

Maze Book -work in progress

I learned to make a maze book recently. If you don't know what that is check out The Scrapbook Lounge Episode: The Maze Book
Now you may be think OK, that's cute but, this is what I learned. If you are on a Mac (and maybe this works on a PC but I don't know) if you go into iPhoto and go to the print window, if you select 16 photos per page, they come out just the right size to fit nicely in a maze book made from a standard 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper!

Super "Star" Jeanie Sumerall-Ajero Models her new look as the sound guy in the background prepares to put her microphone on before taping of her Webisode Stellar Starburst

Just another fun use of binder clips you might not think of is to hold your jacket open "just so" so that your microphone doesn't rub up against the edge of it on the front side. Maybe we can start a new fashion trend???

Now what do I do?

I made these cool double sided "slides" with images from a stock photo catalog I found in a thrift store and a punch from McGill and I love them. But my question is what do I do with them?

Anyone , anyone? Bueller, Bueller?

Composition Notebook Dress up

Here's another project I made inspired By Tricia Morris of Club Scrap


Webisode on the Scrapbook Lounge "Just Add Photos"

I did it a bit different in that I only covered the black and white modeled part and left the fabric border spine exposed.

For the tan, pink and black, I added some clipped pictures from magazines. I do want to note, if you try this project and are using a light thin paper the black printing could show through from the back so you may want to cover it in white paper first. But this wasn't a problem on the blue cherry blossom cover because the new paper was so modeled.

I whipped these up in no time, they would make a fun gift! Hmmm maybe I'll try covering a matching pen???

Egg pocket ATC-May your ideas always hatch!

The egg is such a great shape. It is a symbol of possibilities to me.
