My 2013 approach to scrapbooking

I'm super excited to have completed my very first December daily album. When I first started the project I thought it was going to be a complete failure and I would not be able to keep up and that I would just quit halfway through the month. Two of the things that I believe helped me to keep on top of this project were one, printing my photos at home and two,having my embellishments and journaling cards ready before I sat down to scrap. I like printing my photos at home because sometimes the inspiration tends to leave me before I'm able to send my pictures out, get them printed and get them back home. Then they sit in the "to be scrapped" box for a indefinite period of time. Having my embellishments and journaling cards ready also saves me time because I'm not wandering around my craft room looking for embellishments and journaling spots to using my book.

That being said I'm now extremely inspired by my December daily book and would like to continue the process in 2013. To create these books, I followed this wonderful tutorial HERE. My plan is to scrap a picture a day in a journal or mini album type of book with just a journaling card and maybe a very simple embellishment to go along with it. For those days when I have more than one picture -like for some sort of event or occasion - my overflow pictures will go into the project life type of album. I'm excited for my updated scrapbooking process so stay tuned for updates and pictures!

Has it really been that long?

I knew it was a while since I posted anything here but didn't realize it was that long! I'm so sorry for my absence. But, I'm back with a new share - some super cute journaling cards! They measure 3x4 inches and I can't wait to use them in my projects. You will see these in an upcoming project that I'm working on. You can get your own set in my Etsy shop here:

Thanks for stopping by!

a little lovin' from the oven

Here is a cute gift package I created to hold a cupcake or some homemade baked treats like cookies or bars. The top of the box lifts up and you pull down the oven door to reveal the goodies inside! This package comes complete with the cupcake holder insert and the printable "a little lovin' from the oven" gift tags. The digital files to create this oven are available in my shop here: http://meylah.com/littlepeaceofmyheart

Tag Projects... mini album and a gift tag

Today I want to share a couple of super quick projects that I whipped up! First up is this fun tag for a 4th of July gift. The rosette and layered stars make the tag very dimensional but still super easy to put together.

The next project is this fun mini album:

The tags are equivalent to #8 shipping tags but I cut them on my Silhouette Cameo. The tab and score line cut with the tag so assembly is super easy! Digital cutting files to make these projects may be purchased from my Meylah shop http://meylah.com/littlepeaceofmyheart Once purchase, files are available for immediate download.
