Christmas Coffee Cup Holder Mini Project

Howdy everyone in the internet world!

Here is a coffee cup holder mini album I made for a swap on the Mini Album Scraps community website! :)

It was my first time ever making such a project (a coffee cup mini album) and it was interesting to complete. I have a bunch of extra holders that I picked up when I was making this one... While I do have them, I don't think I'll be making more of such albums once I've gone through the cup holders I have (which should be able to make another 2 minis).

I found that having to cut the paper to size was quite cumbersome. But this was the only way unless I'm doing it wrong? If any of you have any ideas on how to make that part easier and therefore make the process more enjoyable, please do let me know!

If there were a die or something similar I would use to run the paper through in order to make the "right" shape, then I don't think I would have minded so much. :P

Anyway, on to the photos!

The photos aren't really in order, but I imagine you can get the idea of  what it's about pretty easily. :)

Thanks for checking in - I greatly appreciate it!!

If you have any questions about any of the process of making this album, please feel free to post them here!!

ScrapMuch? January Colour Challenge!!

Hopefully your new year is going great so far!!  

I mentioned in a previous post, that I was on a spending freeze for crafts.What I meant by this is that I would not be buying anymore crafts based on what I "have to have", but instead only when I *need* to have it.

If I run out of glue, I won't start stapling things together, I'll go out and get glue! LOL

Just clarifying that for those who were wondering - I haven't abandoned the craft, just the bad purchasing habits that can accommodate such a love for this type of craft. :P

Alright, so, back to business!

Last month, even though I made it in for the ScrapMuch? December layout challenge (and won!), this month I thought I'd take on - and actually complete - the ScrapMuch? colour challenge!

The colours this month are as follows:
Carnation Pink, Sky Blue, Sunny Yellow and Chestnut Brown (yes, that last colour is BROWN, not black)

This is a great colour scheme to apply to projects that are based on springtime so hopefully I can complete one using this colour scheme!

So ScrapMuch?... I accept your challenge!  I don't know if you'll defeat me this month again, but I sure hope not!! :)

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to everyone!!

I hope everyone has a properous and creative new year, whatever your level of creativity is at the moment!

On to some exciting news...

After my "hard labour" at the end of last week creating submissions for the ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday layout challenges, I am proud to announce that I was named the December 2012 winner!! :D

(I kid you not - The proof is right here!!)

I should also mention, that I'm currently on a crafty supply spending freeze which means more challenge entries and more projects coming to you in 2013!!
(This doesn't include things I *need* such as adhesives and other basics like that).

Alright-y then, time to continue on another project I'm working on! I'm sick, so this is definitely a good day to do that as the bf plays Xbox360. :)

You guys rock, and I appreciate all your support!!
