Cardstock: Bazzill Kraft
Alphabet stickers: Mustard Moon – cardstock stickers brown
Embroidery floss
Several stamps

HOW TO
I bought a 2009 filling for an agenda planner with 1 week on 2 pages and made the cover of 2 pieces of chipboard. The cover and pages measure 20 x 15 cm.

I embroidered a frame on the front cover and used the Mustard Moon letter stickers to make a title. I cut the large M with my silhouette.

I have made several sections in my diary for keeping notes, recipes, scrapbooking inspiration etc. I folded a piece of basic grey paper (20 x 30cm) in half, fold to the rights side, holes in the left side and glued the bottom together in order to make a pocket in which I can keep several memorabilia. I included some writing paper and embellished the papers with stamps.

Moneik- **OCTOBER AFTERNOON**

Inspired by Ali Edward's, Moniek created an album in advance so she can easily document the activities, stories, and photos that December will bring. "My album starts on December 10th, since in the Netherlands we celebrate Sinterklaas on December 5th and I usually start with our Christmas planning, decorations etc after that. My album ends on December 27th ."

Mireille and Moniek- **MY MIND'S EYE**

Today we have two layouts focusing on summer traditions. The first comes from Mireille. "Every year we take pictures on top of the Fort in Pula. Years ago it was just pictures of me. Then pictures of me pregnant. Later it was pictures of me and Amber, then pictures of Amber and me during my second pregnancy. Last year we had someone else with us to take the pictures and then all four of us were in the picture. It became a true tradition to have our pictures taken at the end of our holiday. To bad that this beautiful tradition came to an end. This year again we took someone else to take the pictures and found out the fort had been sold. There were big closed gates and no way we could climb on top to take pictures. For the first time we took the pictures in front of the fort in stead of on top."

Summer tradition

SUPPLIES
Cardstock: Bazzil
Patterned paper, Rubon titles, rubon alpha's , transparency and rubon swirls: My Minds Eye
Ink: Stazon
Stickles: Ranger
Buttons: Foof-a-la
Ribbon: chatterbox
tag: quickuts
pen: Sakura

HOW TO
I used 2 sheets of patterened paper and 3 sheets of cardstock for this layout. Cut out a large flower out of cardstock and one out of patterened paper. Distress the edges with Rangers distressing tool. and outline with Stickles. Adhere the flowers to the background sheet. Adhere the picture on yellow cardstock and cut a scalloped border (I used the edges of my fiskar circle cutter which has a scalloped pattern. )
I used MME rubon titles and rubbed them on cardstock. Cut them in a rectangle and a tag, then distressed the edges and inked them. Cut a hole with the crop-a-dile in the tag, cut edges out of the transparency and adhere them with clear glue to the tag. Tie a ribbon through the hole and add a mini tag.
I cut out flowers out of the patterned paper, crumpled them and adhered them with gluedots for dimension. Add buttons. Take four clear buttons and rub the initials of your family members on the button. Adhere with a gluedot. Print journaling on your cardstock and cut it into strops. Outline with a black pen and decorate with mini flowers cut from the patterned paper

Our second project is from Moniek. "On our summer vacations, I usually buy my kids a disposable camera for them to take their own photos. And I found out that it is awesome to see our vacation through their eyes. They take pictures of stuff I never would choose to photograph! I keep all their photo’s, even the blurry ones, because I love them all. I have put them together in a small album and put some of my journaling in between."

Mireille- Candy Box **SCHOOL TIME**

For some, school is right around the corner. For others, their children have been in for a while already. For the week, we will be showing you some wonderful school based projects. Some will be gifts for the teacher (like today's project), some are layouts about the first day of school, and another will be about the job of a teacher. Stick around and see what we have for you!



Here is a quick little candy box project you can make for your child's teacher.

Candy Box for Teacher
byMireille Divjak

SUPPLIES
Candybox: Bare Elements- Creative Imaginations - John tri favor box
Patterned paper: Luxe Designs- Tricket line
Hearts: Heidi Swapp
Bling: My Mind's Eye
tags: Quickutz

HOW TO
This is really quite simple: cover the small box with patterned paper, decorate it with two hearts which have been outlined with a black marker.
Add a rhinestone and two tags. Mine say, "from Amber to teacher Anita."
Don't forget to put some yummie chocolate inside.

Lucy- Mini Pianist Me **MONOCHROMATIC**

Our poor designer Lucy broke her hand a few days ago! Lucky for us she sent this gorgeous monochromatic layout before the horrible event happened. On this layout, Lucy only used one color of cardstock to create a self-named "ghost emboss." Be sure to read her how to and learn this really cool technique.




Mini Pianist Me
by Luciane Folch

SUPPLIES
Bazzill Cardstock
American Crafts Remarks journaling sticker
American Crafts slick pen
Miscellanious buttons and brads
Any Die-Cut machine

HOW TO
You'll need at least 3 sheets of the same color. I used lime green, however you can choose any color you like.
Start by cutting a piece of your background 5 cm long and 5 cm high.
Then get another sheet of cardstock of the same color and cut strips of 5 cm.
I used my Quickuts but any punch or die-cut machine will work.
I used some hearts to make a border.
Then I cut some flowers and circles to embellish.
All in the same shade of paper to create the "ghost emboss" kind of feeling...I just came up with this name...LOL
The title I used Quickutz as well.
Put it all together with some brads and buttons.
Now I dare you all to do the same, just remember do not use any other shade or patterned paper to create this "Ghost"effect.
You'll be surprised with the results!
Have fun!
