My Mind's Eye Breeze Layout

My Mind's Eye just makes the most beautiful paper and embellishments.  This picture of my friend's son, Michael, was perfect for a layout using the Breeze collection.   So sweet...and so handsome in his little suit!

Artsy Album's gallery has been added to the site and I will be adding new pictures to it often. Now that the business is in full swing, I will get back to posting layouts and minis to the blog as well. If you haven't had a chance to check out all of the new pages on the site, please do so and refer your friends and family! Mini albums and custom scrapbooks make wonderful gifts for the holidays!

Artsy Albums -- A Dream Finally Realized

So excited, so tired, and so blessed to be able to say that I am almost there!  Almost have my own business up and running!  This website has gotten a facelift over the last few days and I have added more details about Artsy Albums and my new creative venture.  I have added different pages to the site, including a link to my new shop over on Etsy.com.

If you aren't familiar with Etsy, it's a wonderful website that allows sellers of handmade and vintage items to post their items for sale.  Please check out my online shop at www.artsyalbums.etsy.com .  I only have one album listed so far...but this is because it is 6pm and my son and I are hungry!  Heading to get food and will hopefully get more of my albums listed tonight...if not, tomorrow.

Thank you so much to all of my friends, family, and colleagues who have been so supportive through this process.  I would love your feedback and I would be grateful for all of your referrals.  Not only can you tell everyone you know :) about my shop on Etsy, but please tell them about my custom scrapbook design service too!  All of those details are being added to this website daily.

Road Trip Mini Album with Basic Grey

One of my favorite collections from Basic Grey is Wander -- a travel line that has the cutest chipboard embellishments ever!  I used this line to create a fun little keepsake for a recent girl's weekend to a Creating Keepsakes Convention in Charlotte.  We had so much fun and this album really reflects why I look forward to this trip every year.

Boyish Charm, Boy Scrapbook Album

Gorgeous double-sided paper, glitter that stays on, fun embellishments -- lots of scrapbook companies are doings things right these days and My Mind's Eye is one of my favorites that always seems to get it right!
They introduced lots of fabulous goodies at CHA last month and I have just about bought all of it!

I created this "Boyish Charm" album as a sample for my LSS.  I love it so much, I am going to have to recreate one for myself!



I am also loving this chipboard album from Pine Cone Press -- 6 x 12 allows for lots of 4 x 6 photos, plus if you know me, you know I like to reduce my photos to smaller sizes.  But for this 6 x 12, I think I will include a couple full page (8 x 10 cropped to 6 x 10) -- so fun!


I really do not think I could love chipboard and layered stickers more than I do right now :)  .


Can anyone say glitter !  And it does not come off!  I am a mother of boys (not a lot of glitter in my life) but  I am a scrapbooker -- I can appreciate a little glitter once in a while!  And this...wow...lovin' how each piece of paper has just a little bit of shine! (Again, if you know me, you know I do not work for MME, but I sound like it don't I?)  That's what love sounds like.....LOL!


Do you love my perfectly placed frame embellishments?  Yeah, wish I could take credit for that -- but nope, they are already on the paper and SOOOO cute!




I mentioned on my last post that I was going to show all of you a mini I did with Basic Grey's super cute pet collection from a few years back.  Gina got it right again -- "Max and Whiskers" -- I am lagging behind on my photos due to a wonderful girl's weekend to CKC Charlotte but I will get it added to the blog soon.  It's even got pictures of my sweet baby girls, Reeci and Maisy, in it.  Stay tuned.... 

As always, thanks so much for stopping by. To get great scrapbooking ideas & to stay up-to-date on new products & sales please "like" Artsy Albums on Facebook, Instagram & Pinterest!
