The biggest blessing in my life is the gift of my four wonderful boyssss. I was a stay at home mom up until a few years ago and now I am happily employed in the education field and a single mom raising the last of my four, he is a dream. I love working with children, photography and of course scrapbooking. Scrapping has become my therapy and I am so thankful that GOD has given me this gift.
Good Saturday to everyone...Many of you have suffered the onslaught of snow brought by the 2011 blizzards throughout the country. Well, her...

I used some of the left over hearts from the border cut, added a circle from Stamping, and a butterfly sticker. Another fab rose accented with stickles...the key and heart are also from Sweethearts some rub on transfers by Could 9 add a little more detail.
The 'love' sicker is another K&Co find. I made some page jewelry from charms and wire that reads 'be here now'...the tag on the right will lift out of the window...more room for pics or space to journal. The little angel is a button. I used some ribbon to attach the button to the flower on the opposite side of the tag.
The butterflies are all from stamping...I used the border and then added some smaller cuts from book pages. The cuts from Home Accents on the tags say 'live, laugh, love'. I added some puff paint to the larger butterflies...not thrilled with how it dried but it will do for now.
The back of the book has another sticker with xoxoxo's and reveals the back of the last tag with the 'adventure' 3D sticker and some pretty off white lace.
The tags are very simple as I wanted to leave room for pix and to journal...hope you enjoyed my take on the tp album...now start collecting those empty rolls and create some beautiful fun!
Wow Sandy....Details Details Details! This is so Beautiful...I was gonna try one but never got around to it. You did an awesome job on it ( Shabby Chic ) Love it Hugs Wanda:)
Wow Sandy, this is like a treasure box! so much to see and want to touch and explore! I just love this..I mean really, who else could pull off such a project while using the potty! LOL! being silly..no but really this is super gorgeous!
Sandy, what a gift, so incredibly beautiful - I just love it! You always add details that are phenomenal, something out of a fairy tale and it comes to life in such a magnificent way! Super beautiful girlfriend! :p
Who would think that the empty tp roll would create a mini album? And then let the beautiful Sandy put her most talented fingers on it! This is just gorgeous! I too, love all your details and the stunning vintage feel of it! Gorgeous! I'm inspired now!!!! Blessings, Kim xXx
Oh my goodness, these TP rolls are definitely "Sandy-fied" !! Your gift of creativity is amazing! The details...I just love the beautiful details throughout. Great job and thanks for sharing. =)
I love all the cute tags and embellishments. What a beautiful and fun album--one could stare at this over and over and the photo's aren't even in it yet!

ohhhh how Beautiful!! How did I miss this post?! I HAVE to try that flower I am seeing them all over they are sooo awesome!
