Organization project (and hello!)

Hello! I am so excited and honored to have been selected as part of the Scrapbook Circle design team! So thrilled, in fact, that I just had to go create something to keep all my Scrapbook Circle "stuff" in over the next 6 months. I think it is a project that can also easily be adapted to a "School Stuff" book, and many of us need those this time of year. I can't tell you how many papers I already have to keep up with! Here it is:

I used 6 file folders (regular office supply type), some assorted patterned papers, 3 book rings, some tabs, assorted patterned papers, ribbons, scrappy embellishments, stamps, and the super cute Scrapbook Circle sticker we get on our kits. I trimmed the patterned paper in strips and a circle, edged a couple of them with my threading water punch, and adhered them all to one of the MM Passport papers from the Travel Journal kit. I folded them around the file folders, which I decorated with stamps. Inside, I cut some of my grid and lined patterned papers and layered them with a little decorative paper. I lined everything up and used my Crop-a-Dile to punch the holes. I have one of the little hole punches attached to the back, ready to punch anything I want to add (I found mine at Staples BTS sale for 25 cents).

As I said before, I am so happy to be designing for Scrapbook Circle. I have been scrapping off and on since I was just a kit. A few years ago I found "non-chronological" scrapping and kits, and I have been truly hooked ever since! I have been married for 13 years, have a 9 year old son and an almost 5 year old daughter. I have been a SAHM since my daughter was born. I love trying new arts & crafts (including photography, painting, pottery, and beading). I can't wait to get to know everyone better!
