Father's Day

Yes I know, we are in back-to-school. But I thought I would share a project I made for my dad for Father's day this year. My mom gave me a bunch of pictures of my grandma (who passed away when I was in college). I scanned them in and got them printed (I didn't want to use the originals).

I used a Simple Stories Mix & Match Album (now called SN@P albums). And the Simple Stories Generation Collection Set.

I put this album together in a slide show as there are MANY pages. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy!

Have a Great Thursday!! We are getting closer to the 3 day weekend!

Fall Recipe Book

Recently I put together a Recipe book using the NEW Simple Stories - Harvest Lane paper line and homemade faux paper bags. I found the tutorial on Pinterest and adapted the tutorial to fit my style and the album.

I will show you how to do this another day, but today I'm going to share with Recipe Book i created.

This was a fun album to create. I even made some custom recipe cards in Adobe Illustrator / In Design to add to my album. This would make a great gift or a recipe book on the go. The size is 4x6.

Have a Great Wednesday!

A Peek of ME

I have been working on an album about me and my life. I'm using the Echo Park - Everyday Eclectic paper set; plus a whole bunch of other products I have in my stash that it coordinates. I'm using a Simple Stories - Mix & Match Album (soon to be SNAP albums being released this fall in many colors!!)

I'm obviously still working on this album. I have been using instagram pictures, which I got printed. There are various places to print your instagram photos, check out this site for ideas. I used Persnickety Prints to print mine.

During this process I also purchased a vintage typewriter. I got it on Ebay for a great price and it just needs a cleaning. I love using it on my layouts and pages. TO me it adds some character.

I'll continue to update with more posts of this album as I complete them! Check back for more layouts and scrapbook projects!

Happy MONDAY!

I'm Back...

I haven't posted to this blog for quite some time. I have a website that I've been using, but I want to switch it up a little and well I have little time to do that. So anyway Today I'm going to share a layout I created using the new My Mind's Eye - Honey papers. I created this based off the MemoryWorks August Challenge. MemoryWorks is a scrapbook consulting company, we have challenges and share projects and ideas on our private message board!

Until next time :) Have a great Sunday

Lynn's Cards

Well due to my little knowledge of wordpress, I'll be using this blog a while longer until I figure out my new site.

Today I want to review a Card Kit sent to me by my scrapbook Soul Sister and card extraordinaire Lynn D (From My Bungalow).  She is putting together card kits that she will eventually sell on Etsy, but wanted some feedback prior to listing them.

These kits are fabulous and packaged so CUTE!  Just check it out below!

The Kits come with enough supplies for 4 cards.  My kit included: (4) Pre folded cards, (4) Envelopes, (4) custom flowers, (4) bases, tags, ribbon and accent pieces!

I created the 4 cards in the kit with the contents.  It took me less then 30 minutes and I have 4 custom made cards that will be perfect with any gift or everyday giving.

It really took little effort to put the cards together with great results. My kit included Cosmo Cricket (Circa 1934).  There will be a lot more to come from Lynn and make sure you stop by her blog and check out her awesome creations! 

Come back tomorrow for more card creations!

Change

I have made a change.  I will be transitioning into a new blog and website!  I recently purchased a domain name and am really excited to put a site together.  Right now I'm in a BETA mode.  It's just functional at this time.  There will be a lot of changes over there in the next few months, so check back frequently.

Note there is a lot of work to still be done to make it the way I want it.  So bare with me during my transition.

I will miss blogger though.  I love how easy it is to blog over here and I love the look of my current blog (I'm trying to make my new one similar).  So that is hard to give up.  I probably won't shut this one down, just because I don't want anyone taking it.  haha.  I have already transferred all my blog posts to my new blog as well - so you can go back and look for old blogs.  I basically changed to grow.  I wanted a domain name, a place to inspire, a place to share my work and eventually sell cozies, project pdfs and more.  So I look at it as growing in LaceyBug Creations.

Things I hope to have on my new site!

• Blog (of course)
• Contact / About me
• Events
• Gallery (sharing my photography & creative projects)

I have already started to blog over there, so please check it out!

Slightly Busy

I have been SLIGHTLY busy lately.  Okay really busy!!  Last week my parents came to visit and brought my 2 year old nephew with them.  We had a great time!  Here is a slide show of some pictures!

Click here to view these pictures larger

We went to the park, ate (a lot), visited the Fargo Air Museum, looked at the train (part of it is stationed right on Broadway), ate ice cream, walked around on Broadway and visited the dance studio!  It was a full 2 days!

I was so sad to see them leave, but life wasn't going to slow down.  I was one of the hosts of my friend Ann's Bridal Shower and Bachelorette party this weekend.  It turned out so well and it was a BLAST! Pictures to follow.

And I can't end the post without something CRAFTY!  I have created 8 new cozies for my Etsy shop.  Some of them have new phrases as well!  Check them all out here!

 

There ya have it! Happy Monday and I hope to have more projects to share later this week.
