Pocket Album

Two days ago I posted half of my homemade graduation gift for a special 8th grader - now high school Freshman :) Today I'll show you the other half, the mini scrapbook (aka pocket album) I made for her.  This book is not your typical scrapbook.  It's very simple.  Just meant for her to keep some mementos of her summer before high school; pics, tickets/movie stubs, notes, etc.






There are many more pages than pictured, but you get the idea!  Simple and easy with pops of color.  From what I understand, it has been a HUGE hit with her and her friends.  I couldn't ask for anything more!

Happy Scrappin!

CTMH does necklaces too!

When you think of a scrapbook company you probably think of just scrapbook layouts and maybe homemade cards.  I do hope that by now you have come to realize CTMH is so much more than that!  I know you have seen my muslin bags and I've shown wreaths, canvas, banners, treat bags...need I continue??  Well, one of CTMH newer products is a little bling for your neck :)

My best friends daughter just turned 14 in May and also graduated 8th grade.  Because I have been so involved in her life since she was first born I knew I wanted to make something for her on this special occasion, rather than just purchasing something at the store.

So, I ended up with a necklace and a small book for her.  Today you will see the necklace (which also was put in another muslin bag for safe keeping).








Thankfully my gift was well received - she loved all of it!

Happy Scrappin!
