September is Finish It Month!



Summer is winding down. School starts soon--or already has for some. It's time to start focusing on our "indoor" goals again. It's a natural time to switch gears and refocus. In Sept. let's get all those loose pages DONE, journaled and into albums!

Do you have almost-done pages sitting around in your totes, on your desk and so forth? Do you just need to add one more little thingy? Add a title?? Journal a bit? Slide them into protective sleeves? Get them into their desired order and add them to an actual ALBUM??

You are not alone. I bet we all have a few more of these than we care to admit. 90% done. But just not there....

September is the month to get that tiger by the tail and conquer the clutter! YES I said clutter. How can your lovely scrapbook pages EVER be clutter????

Because no matter how hard you worked, no matter what product you used, no matter how cute it is--if it is not DONE and it is not in it's right place (either gifted to the person you made it for or in it's final album--it is not out of your way. It is sitting someplace in limbo. Just like the dishes you intend to finish washing. Just like the clothes that didn't get hung up.

Let's treat our lovely pages with more respect. Let's get them DONE and into their books~

Just in time for the winter holidays when we can just plain share them with family! And since I was a little lax in August with the journaling prompts that I meant to focus on, I will send those across the wires too when I see some good ones. That will help us journal more and complete those pages too.

Let's get busy! If it needs a flower, add it. If it needs glue-ing down, glue it! If it needs changing, then change it! What are we waiting for? Just get it done. Please share your journaling tips at ScrappersChallenge as well and if you are getting pages INTO BOOKS! Yeah!

A Spiral Christmas Tree Skirt

Image
Here you see a  gift I just finished this morning for my daughter. It is a spiral bargello style quilted tree skirt. I sewed on it all Saturday and Sunday this weekend and just had the ties to sew on this morning. It's an early Christmas gift kind of like the one I made for my son and his wife a few weeks ago .  T his spiral design my daughter chose also uses a 10 degree wedge ruler but is about 1/3 more time consuming than the randomly placed 5 inch charm square wedge style because you have to spend more time getting the strip formation right.  There was a SULKY brand online tut o rial and pattern for a single color repeat but I liked the slower color change better seen in the t wo photos below . I think the spiral design is enhanced by the more gradual color change. I saw these two spirals below on Google Images but they only led me to p icture link s and not a tutorial. I ha d to devise my own from looking at that pictures.   http://www.backyardchickens.com/t

Paper Stash Storage Solutions: 1- 12 inches of paper

Image
Your paper storage units should suit YOUR needs and YOUR paper storage style. Imagine this: Two people who sit down side by side at a crop party. Soon they will start talking about tool and paper storage. Pretty soon, one will want what the other one has. It all sounds so good --and it is working for her companion. But when she goes out to buy it, and she takes it home, it might be all wrong. Why?? Because those two people will NOT need exactly the same storage solutions! So how do you know what to invest in? And yes, paper storage is an investment. You don’t want to waste money or TIME. Spend your time and money on solutions that are great for YOU! How much paper do you have?
