TEXT Thursday - April 30th

I thought I would post a different kind of idea for making lines to journal on. In this layout that I did last year, I did some sewing around the photo and I figured stitching would also make a great place to journal. So, I wrote my journaling first, then sewed some lines underneath the writing.

WEB Wednesday April 29th

This place is for scrapbookers who want to check out the scrap scene and also to tell others about their own , their items they have for sale, their RAKS, and so on and so on.There's also an area for you to upload your layouts/cards/altered creations AND...you can create a RESUME and post it there!! How awesome is THAT!!! And it's FREE!!! You really have to go see it for yourself to see all that is offered there!

The website is called My Scrapbook Social (Your scrapbooking social connection network). Go see and join. Tell 'em Sisterhood of Scrap sent ya!!!!!

Teaching Tuesday ~ April 28th

Good morning sisters. Today I have a quick little envelope mini book. I hope you like it.

Materials needed:
3 envelopes (mine are regular invitation envelopes 4.25x5.5, but you can use any size)
paper
embellishments
ribbon



Take your first envelope and open the flap and glue it to the back of your second envelope. Now glue the second envelope's flap to the back of the 3rd envelope. Here are front and back views of how it should look:




Now, cut patterned paper for the back of your book (the side that doesn't have the pockets is the back) and adhere them to your book



Next you are going to cut patterned paper for the inside. I cut them a little smaller to leave room for my pockets. Make sure when you glue them down you don't glue over the pockets. You'll want to make inserts for them later



Next, you need to cut two triangle pieces for you the flap of your book. I just eyeballed this. Adhere them to your book



Now you need to make your inserts. You can see mine poking out of the pocket with a little ribbon tab. I also slipped my ribbon under the patterned paper of my book so I have a tie to hold it closed. You could also use magnets or just leave it opened.



Just embellish and you are done. I left mine pretty simple because I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for yet!



If you do this little project I'd love to see it.
