My daughter is here visiting with me and she showed me a cute mini scrapbooking album. It is just the cutest album ever. Here is a picture! But was wondering if any other farmgirls have other idea's for a scrapbook album? What a nice gift to give to others.

Hey girls -
I just found this awesome page of downloadable templates from Maya Road: http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=creative_templates
They have all sorts of shapes templates for mini albums, and different printable binder album insert pages (calendar, address book, day planner, journal). Best of all - they're FREE! 'Just thought I'd share!!! We just missed a huge Maya Road Spring Warehouse Goody Box sale... Didn't even know about it until tonight - and it's too late for US boxes, but Canada boxes may still be available - you may want to check if you're interested, Stacy!).
Also, you might want to visit PaperCrafter's Corner @ www.papercrafterscorner.com for a list of scrapbooking events by state or region, special sales offered by participating scrapbooking companies, as well as sneak peaks at new products on the market, giveaways, etc.
I just love finding all this fun stuff and inspiration! I'll try to keep my eyes peeled for anything new and keep you posted... Please be sure to share anything you all find, too! :)
Happy papercrafting!
Nini

AWESOME!!! I love them, Deb! How much fun that must be to create together! I especially love the wedding mini album - what a neat little "brag" book for your DIL to carry in her purse! I can just hear the ooohs and aaahs now! I'd like to do something like that for a couple of friends' kids who are graduating this year! What a neat idea! Hugs - Nini

All I use is 2 pieces of heavy cardstock and then I will cover them with paper and tags ect. It gets thick and holds up nicely. I am also going to make some out of my cereal box's and cover those. I just didn't want to pay the money for the albums so I cut the shapes out glued each piece to each other then bought the rings at walmart. I think they are coming out nice. I can't wait to get home and try some new shapes on my cricut though and see what I can do with those :)

Marian - I'll send you some folders when you get back, along with the Cricut cutouts you need - not a problem at all! :)
Can't wait to see them, Deb!!!

How COOL, Stacy! I had purchased a small Scottie-shaped album to finish for one of the farmgirls, but haven't gotten around to it yet - I'll be looking to YOU for inspiration! Can't wait to see your finished albums! You GO girl! Hugs - Nini

No problem, Marian! Happy to do it! How about when you return from your trip, just email me and let me know what you're looking for - color, images, etc., and then I'll go through my cartridges and see what I can come up with for you. Maybe I'll just direct you to the Cricut site so you can see which cartridges and images I have, and then you can just pick and choose - how does that sound? :)
If anyone else would like me to do diecuts for you, just let me know! :) 'Happy to do it for you!
Thanks, Erica! I'm so glad you know about CTMH! Then you know about the books - they're AWESOME! :) Truly, I just really, really want everyone to have access to the "how to" videos, because they are SO great - just so many things to learn, and so little free time to do so! LOL! Lord knows we all probably have HUGE stashes of stuff-in-waiting already! :)
I know what you all mean about setting time aside for creativity! That's what I love so much about some of the artsy swaps we have going on the Farmgirl Connection - they give me a reason to set aside a few hours to create. It's extremely therapeutic, don't you think? I'm just really glad that baseball season has started. My guys have partial season's tickets so most weedends of the summer I can count on one night aaaalllll to myself, dedicated to chick flicks and papercrafting! LOL! I can't wait! Let the creative juices flow! :)
Happy day to all!

Erica I just had a talk with DH and I too am going to set aside a few hours of crafting time everyday. It's a good stress relief for me. And I do love making beautiful art. DH will man my phone calls while I am creating. Hope to start next week on my mini album. Have a good and fun day everyone. Hugs,Brenda

Nini, Congratulations on your new venture as the CTMH consultant...how fun:) I already purchase items from a friend who is a consultant though...so sorry, but I know how exciting and fun doing stuff like that can be. You will be amazing at it:)
Joey, I was just talking to CJ about spending so much time being busy with life, and not enough time to create...so I actually have stopped doing all this moving, cleaning, scheduling and living stuff...and sat down at my table and just got lost creating....it is the best therapy:)
Enjoying reading the posts on this thread alot..we have a bunch of creative gals for sure:) Erica |

All of these pages are beautiful and such fun! Thank you for sharing. I really enjooy the pictures and embelishments. What a GREAT job. Makes me want to skip work today and just play..I won't though. I just get very little time to play these days and miss it. What little I do keeps me (relatively )sane. Joey

NINI, girl you are awesome :) I can use anything you're willing to share ;) lol since I don;t have the nifty machine, they are SO expensive so will never get one I am afraid duh...but that is fine (has to be haha)
I am leaving June 2nd (if all works out for brother, or else June 3rd) and will be back July 4th so a WHOLE month together with my brother and his partner :) Yup it will be great to see him and I miss him SO much...sometimes it hurts but then I mail him....and when I see he read my mails I know all is fine. He is not a big "writer-backer" unfortunately but as long as I see he read my mails...I am a "happy camper"

Brenda - I'm so glad you like the site! There's so many great ideas and tips and tricks to learn there! Enjoy at your leisure - no rush - it's not going anywhere! :)
Marian - if I can cut anything for you on my Cricut, I'll be happy to do so! Just let me know! I can share a folio file folder, too... Just think of it as a "welcome back, girlie - now get crackin' and make that album so we can see it" gift! LOL!
When are you going away? When will you be back? You must be SO excited! I'm so happy you'll be seeing your brother! I know you've missed him so much!
Well, enjoy the "tutes," toots! Er, huh... I mean, toots-ies! :)
