Creative chaos or ingenious musing? Now can you see why I am often MIA? It's my pattern or passion to be creating something in my little scrappy mind. My dedicated scrap space sees an often upheaval of orderliness. Sometime, often times I am in here creating and designing something. Why? Why not? With all the chaos that is going on outside of my DSS, who can argue that this is a welcome respite. Right now, this minute I have been surfing UT trying to find some inspiration. There is inspiration all round me but I can't see it all for the chaos. I believe that the happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything. So I make the most of everything through the creative process. I may have a lot of bells and whistles when it comes to crafting but I also have the need to be frugal and wiser in my buying endeavors. One of my challenges this new year will be to do just that: STOP BUYING! Can I rise to the challenge? Another challenge is to use what I already have. That should be easy enough. Often I can't find what I do have. Thus is the reason for more chaos. So as I journal along on my blog, I hope to keep you all abreast with this journey of mine to reuse and recycle. That's another story. Until next time....

Just some scrappings

A Trio of Flips
What I esp. like doing recently is mini albums. Just recently I stumbled upon some esp. innovative mini albums. They are called cardstock flip albums. The original design calls for the use of cardstock but I also used lightweight chipboard for one of them. They are fast and easy to make. I got the tutorial from a fellow UT. The original came from this site: www.making mini scrapbooks.com These little cuties can pack a lot of pictures and journaling. You can check out my UT for the visual instructions if you like.

MIA
Wow! I've been missing in action. I have to come up with a way to stay up to speed on this blog. What can I do. I need to challenge myself to not let this happen. I must keep it going. Right? Let's see. Each time I upload a video to my YouTube Channel(which by the way I have changed my channel name to--FayRaiDesigns) I need to post an entry on my blog. So that settles it. This is what I am going to challenge myself to do. So here goes.........

Framed Beauty
What can you do with a $2.50 frame from Target? ALTER IT. Recently I did just that. While strolling through Tarjay (my version of the spelling) to pick up some ink for my printer, I stumbled on this frame in the dollar bins. I thought it was pretty enough so I decided to get it and try my hand at altering it. I think it came out pretty good. I hope you agree. I used some Say It With Crystals to further bling it up and some last year Michaels kissed florals. I used a petal-glimmered leaf red flower and a handmade silver flower that I crafted using patterned glitter paper. I rubbed on the word Enjoy and also added the stickered circle word Life. Around the edges of the frame, I used my silver dabberpaint from Ranger. The glittered insert on the left was already apart of the frame. Thanks for taking a peek.

A new project
It's mini time again. I've been working on this mini for a little while. I like the colors of it although I'm not a participant in holiday celebrations. I got the paper collection from Tuesday Morning and thought I would put it to good use. What a better way than to make a mini album.
