Custom Wedding Album

I made this wedding album for one of my dearest friends in my first year of scrapbooking and it's the biggest project I've ever scrapped before! I regret to say that I don't even have that many layouts to call my own, but as with all works from the heart, they are best shared :).  I suppose when I have a family of my own one day I will have more desire to scrap for myself. Anyways, my friend's wedding was a destination wedding in Las Vegas!

Valentine Artist Trading Card Swap

So my newest endeavor was making artist trading cards to swap with other wonderful crafters on my favorite scrapbooking website, Crop Chocolate.  My friend Paula organized the swap and I am so happy I took on the project. I had never made them before, and I when I was done I was hooked! These cards are 2.5 x 3.5 inches, must be signed and dated on the back, and can be made with any material you chose.  For this swap, they had to be different in some way and follow the Valentine theme.  I signed up to make 4 of them, and so I will receive the same amount in return from other crafters, so it is truly a treat!

Handmade Items made by Christine, Patty, and Mom

So now that the holidays have passed and chaos is over, I couldn't procrastinate any longer and I am finally able to sit down and upload all the pics of our handmade goodies that we made for our last craft fair in December and gave away for Christmas gifts as well! I'm still in the middle of crocheting scarves for late Christmas gifts, and so when I get done with those projects we will be introducing crocheted items to our list of projects made by the Crafting Family! Woo hoo!

So check these out:

The following scarves I crocheted as Christmas gifts, and I gave a few other away that I forgot to pics of.
