November Giveaway Happy Harvest

I bet you are all excited for this blog post that has been a long time coming!  It is finally time for another Blog Giveaway!!  I have to say that I love this time of year, the crunchy leaves, the cool crisp air, and of course Thanksgiving.  I love to eat so this might be one of my favorite holidays.  I also really enjoy this time of year when people get to really think about what they are thankful for and they share it with others.  So for this Blog Giveaway, please share with me what you are most thankful for.  I will start; I am most thankful for beautiful baby boy who brings nothing but joy to my life and my wonderful husband who works so hard to allow to stay at home. 

For this Giveaway we will be giving one lucky winner a Doodlebug Happy Harvest Essentials kit to help you create a craft to remember this wonderful time of year.  Also I thought I would share with you a very cute idea from Doodlebugs blog of an adorable thankful jar.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Also this line will be 25% all week long so be sure to stock up!

May Giveaway Winner and A Little About Me

I am excited to announce our lucky winner for the May Giveaway is....CYNTHIA B.!  Congratulations on your win! Please email your address to allscrapbooksteals@gmail.com so we can send your prize to you!

I am just floored with the turn out of comments we got this for this giveaway!  It was our best turn out yet and I really appreciate all of the feedback I got from everyone.  It is very helpful to know what kinds of projects you guys are looking for and what I can do to make the blog better. We are excited to get started on those changes.  I also didn't realize how many people liked to follow my Tasty Tuesday, so that will definitely be sticking around!

Today I thought it would be fun to tell you all a little bit more about me, since you don't know much.  First off today is a pretty special day, it is my 4 year anniversary of being married to my best friend and the greatest man I know.  My husband's name is Dave and we have been together for 5 years now.  He is a photographer and is going to school right now for a BFA in photography - so that is where all the great pictures of our baby come from.  He is also the designer of all the emails you all get everyday for the website!

  We have a little 6 1/2 month old baby named Dean and he is my pride and joy.  He is growing up way to fast, he doesn't want to crawl and just wants to walk, he wants to feed himself, and he has two teeth already.  I love him more and more everyday, and he is my sunshine.
I am 25 and I have tried a little bit of everything I feel like.  I went to school to be an English major, then Culinary, Hospitality Management, actually graduated in Personal Fitness Training, then went back for a bit for a Dance Major.  Oh, and I did Cosmetology at a tech school during High School.  So like a said I have tried a lot of things and I don't regret it, now I have a little experience in a lot of fields that I have interest in.  Now you know why I like to do the Tasty Tuesday, Culinary school was very fun, but I was more interested in baking and there wasn't enough of that in the program.  My favorite things to do are anything with my little family, reading, baking, singing, creating and trying new restaurants.   I love that I get to have a Blog for my creative outlet in baking, decorating, and scrapbooking.  Most of all I love to have this Blog to get to work from home, it is the best! 

So that is a little tid bit about me and I hope to let you get to know me better and that I can get to know all of you better through this Blog!  Thanks for reading :)

Happy Crafting!

Pom Pom Tutorial and Giveaway Winner

Wow!! We had such a great response on this months Giveaway!  I loved reading all of your comments, and it just made me even more excited to be a mother and to be able to watch my children grow.  There are just so many things to be grateful for about children young and old and what a great line we have to celebrate those little ones!  Our lucky giveaway winner this month is Angela L. Congratulations!  Please email us your address to allscrapbooksteals@gmail.com to redeem your prize.

 I am finally feeling better - thank goodness! So, now for the DIY Pom Pom tutorial I have been promising!  What you will need is: about 8-10 sheets of tissue paper (10 is better but 8 will work just fine), pipe cleaners, ribbon or twine, and scissors.  What you do is layer the tissue paper on top of each other as best as you can (it wont be perfect, I tried) and start folding about 1 1/2-2 inch strips accordion style until you've folded it all the way down.  Then, tightly put a pipe cleaner around the middle to secure it, and attach the twine or ribbon you will be using to hang it to the pipe cleaner.  Then cut each end of the tissue so it has rounded edges.  Then carefully start separating the tissue paper from each other until you get a big round pom pom.  It is as easy as that!

I also went to a party once that used news paper to make these pom poms and it was a very cute vintage looking touch to the party!  You can also cut the tissue paper so it isn't a full sheet to make smaller ones. Just note: It is harder the pull the tissue paper apart the smaller it is!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for an all new Tasty Tuesday!

Happy Crafting!

14 Reasons Why I Love You

Sorry I have been a little absent the past few weeks!  I had a sick infant, and wasn't feeling too good myself.  But I am back, feeling good, and have a cute new Valentine's Day project for you! Plus, it is time to do this months Giveaway!!!


For this project, I essentially used the same concept I used for the Christmas Advent calendar for a cute countdown of "14 Reasons Why I Love You".  This was very easy to put together, and it was fun too.  I used the Doodlebug Lovebirds and the Echo Park Love Story lines, I couldn't decide which to use, I love them both so much, so I used both!

I started by cutting 14 different patterns to use, I cut them 4x6 and put them in the order I wanted to use them.  Then, I cut a bunch of 2x4 pieces of the same paper and a few squares that were 3x3 and did a little mixing and matching to coordinate with the cute pages. 

Some other products I used were: numbers from the Echo Park Love Story Alpha Stickers, as well as Doodlebug Lovebirds Cardstock Stickers, Beetle Black Love Letters Stickers, Bubblegum Heart Pearls, and the adorable Mini Love Notes. 

Lastly, I tied it all together with a few different colors of Bakers Twine from the Doodlebugs Valentine's Assortments Pack.

This little project was fun to make, and I enjoyed thinking of 14 special reasons why I love my husband to share with him!

Now, to enter to win this months Giveaway please comment below of your favorite things about Valentine's Day.  Weather you have a special someone to share it with or not, think of somethings you like about this special holiday! I hope you and your Valentine enjoy this project as much as we do!

Calendars/ January Giveaway

It's a new year!  Time for new beginnings, new goals, and a new you.  What better way to keep track of those goals than with a cute calendar?

The first calendar we have is from Teresa Collins. It is a 32 page 2013 Calendar Album.  I love this album because it has so many different facets to it.  Of course, it has a place to keep track of your day to day things you need to remember, but it also has places to put pictures of memories and write them down (or maybe glue in some small keepsakes of those memories).  It would be such a great year long project to continually add to, and would be so fun to go through at the end of the year - and years to come!















The next calendar idea is a lot of fun too!  You just need to get a small, or a large, blank calendar - whichever you prefer.  You could even print out a fun calendar (there are a lot of printables to be found on Pinteres).  Then, make a fun page to the theme of each month with pictures of family and friends.  This project is great because you can either sit down and do it all at once for a project, or you could stretch it out, and make one at the end of each month for the next coming month.  You can also add as many or as little embellishment as you would like.  This project is just for you so make it yours!  Another idea would be to make it a year in review for the coming year with pictures from the past months and give it to Grandma and Grandpa as a Christmas gift at the end of the year. 


 















 Now that you have your calendar ideas, I would like to share some of the goals that I have for myself this year.  I am going to have a new goal to work on each month. That way they will be easier for me to keep track of.  This month, my goal is to go the whole month without fast food (so far so good)!  We are moving in March so my goal that month will be to get everything unpacked and organized. 




Last, but not least, for this months giveaway we are going to be giving away three of the Teresa Collins Project of the Month Calendars.  To win, comment on this post telling me what some of your goals are this year!  We will announce the winners next Wednesday, the 9th of January, so be sure to check back to see if you won!!
