Three Things : just a little more love
Tags:I couldn't help it. One more week of love-related products here on Three Things. Maybe it's because this baby's due date is February 14th or maybe it's because of all the pink stuff that has been making it's way into our home. Regardless, I am loving anything with pink and hearts right now and that is really not normal for me. Here's a look at a couple things that caught my attention this week.
Teresa Collins Pink Dot Transparency (8x8) : I have this one in my cart at Scrapbook.com. It's 8x8 and work great in this little album I am considering using for the baby's first few days/weeks. Still considering exactly what I want to do for that documentation. I am pretty sure that this is just clear with pink dots (rather than grey with pink dots).
Love Clear Transparency pages (5x7) from Heidi Swapp : These fit into her 5x7 mirror album or you could add it to one of Tim Holtz's 5x7 Tabbed Grungeboard books or a minibook of your own construction or just use one on top of a photo on a layout. Definitely love the idea of these.
Jenni Bowlin Mini Valentine Bingo Cards : These little guys (2.5 x 3.5) would be fun to use for Valentine cards or for a little minibook with photos on the other side.
[ Three Things is a weekly product series : check out the archives here. ]
Now that the holidays are over you may be looking for another fun project
to occupy some of your creative energy (and you may have considered this project last fall). Don't forget that my Family Gratitude Photo Spinner class is still available for download through Big Picture Scrapbooking. This is a downloadable class that is all done on your own time and at your own pace.
Cost for the workshop is $12 and includes: color handouts
with step by step instructions, downloadable PDF templates (for
transparencies and titles), full supply list with links to products, an
audio message from me, a private gallery for sharing your projects with
others in the class, and access to a message board for sharing thoughts
and ideas as you work through the project.
Kits are also available for this workshop once again through Cocoa
Daisy. This kit is not required but meant as a way for you to gather
all the supplies together from one place.

I'm sitting in front of my computer right now watching CNN.com with NPR on the radio. My kids are watching Dora. And I am so grateful for my life right now. And so hopeful! My Mom gave me the Cocoa Daisy kit for Christmas. And I just bought some stamps for the project yesterday. I can't wait to get started!

Feb 14! My oldest was due on that date 30 years ago. (Her name is Alli)But she didn't arrive until March 4. 18 days late. Doctors won't let anyone go that late anymore. She just had her first baby Dec 17 and they induced after only 4 days late.
Good luck to you. No matter when she arrives, she will be beautiful!

Thanks for all of the love related things that you are highlighting. I am making a book sort of like the December Daily to document all of the fun plans we will be doing as my oldest will be married next Feb. I bought a sheet of that polka dot transparency and the one with hearts too!
I am also working on a spinner. I am doing a Names of God challenge this year and besides putting fun pictures of my family one section will be the 4x6 pages I do for the challenge. Thanks for such fun projects and ones that can be adapted to almost anything!~

Hope you're having a great day! WE HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT! I'm enjoying my new niece and those papers would be perfect in her album! Thank you for sharing them.

I've been off from my job at a community college because of snow so I've been playing in my scrapbook room. I turned my oldest child's bedroom (she's 26 now and about to get married) into a beautiful blue creative scrapbook room. My own space - finally after 30 years of marriage and raising three chilren. I love your blog and all your great ideas. Gotta love the Valentine's stuff you have shown everyone. Thanks and good luck delivering that baby. Prayers are with you.

Our little girl is due about a month after yours, and I wanted to share that I'm modifying your "December Daily" idea to capture the first 30 days of her life...Just putting together a place to store a photo a day and some memorabilia from that first month. Having fun with the "girly" colors!

Ali, or anyone else reading ;), unless I'm imagining it I saw a post somewhere on how you created the canvases for the start of each chapter of Life Artist. I can't find it now, despite rabid searching.
I want to play with some canvas + paint + collage and loved how you did those canvases.
Help?

Happy Inauguration Day! And good luck with that new one coming on the 14th (or sooner?) You're a wonderful inspiration for me, even though I don't have time in my life right now to scrapbook. I have used mini-books to help my son who is on the autism spectrum. Simon's progress gives me so much hope for the future. Thanks for sharing your journey.

I just downloaded the spinner class last week, and it looks fabulous! My daughter was a Feb. 17 baby, and my husband swore we wouldn't do the stereotypical "pink" thing. Then she got a pile of pink clothes, and blankets, and she loves princesses. She is a purple girl, but the number two color is pink. She's even gotten me to wear pink now, and I haven't worn pink since I was a kid!

Hi Ali!
I know pink and hearts are not usually your thing but they're a nice change of pace. Especially when you're welcoming a little baby girl into your lives. I hope you are feeling good!
Happy Inaugeration Day!
