Jim & JoAnn's 50th Anniversary Guestbook

Here are a few pictures of the Guestbook/Scrapbook I made for My In-laws 50th Anniversary party.  They loved it and the party was fabulous.  The small picture on the cover of the book is their hands.  I added a 3-D flower from Pro 31 Designs.  The trim on the cover is beautiful.  The bottom layer is from Hobby Lobby, the top trim is from the Internet along with the cameo & penny farthing bike and the pearls below that are Paper Studio. The picture of them together is all My Mind's Eye paper.  I just added a few butterflies and a piece of fence from MFTStamps.com.  In the wedding dress page I topped it with Prima pearls. The bottom white ruffled trim is from Hobby Lobby, topped with a flower pearl trim.  The bottom lace trim is from WildOrchardCrafts.com along with the buckle slides.  I am not sure what brand the stamp is but perfect.  The last page is Theresa Collins paper.  It is perfect with black and white picture.  I used her cut out that says Believe in Love. That is perfect for this picture.  Thanks so much for stopping by,  Hugs Robbin

Quilt Wall Hanging w/Family Bday

 I have made many beautiful items for lots of people.  Well it was time I made something to hang in our home.  This is the a one of a kind.  Since we are all addicted to www.Pinterest.com  I have looked at many really neat items with anniversary and birth dates.  This is what I came up with for us.  The wedding ring quilt is my favorite of all the quilts.  My girlfriend Theresa came over and helped me with this.  It took us about 2 hours to get all the cuts right.  The circles we cut out on the Cricut and used George Basic cartridge. The outside circle was cut at 8 1/2" and the inside was cut at 7 1/2". The papers are from Paper Studio and My Mind's Eye. I wanted to use a guy and girly paper.  I bought the background paper in the art section at Hobby Lobby and it is acid free.  I used Tim Holtz distress inks to distress the background paper.  The 4 other pattern papers are from several My Mind's Eye collections.  I already had the frame.  I painted the frame and inside of the back of the frame with a light brown.  I cut Dietrich out with Winter Wonderland about 2" and used reposition able adhesive to attach it to the background. Then added crackle, let that dry and used Burnt Umber to paint over.  I missed some spots or it wouldn't crackle in some spots so I distressed it myself. I cut the center piece from Elegant Edges at 3" and not sure which piece I used.   I have terrible handwriting so I called a friend Julie to come write the dates for me.   What a super great piece.  I was really excited about it.  Thanks Hugs Robbin

Derek's Graduation Guestbook

A friend of mine here in our little town Julie asked me to make this book.  Her son's name is Derek just like mine.  When we moved here who would have thought there would be two Derek's. then our last names are very similar.  They call this Derek, Big Derek and mine Little Derek.  This past January another Derek moved to town too.  I don't know if they called him medium Derek, LOL.
I guess I will get to the book.  She wanted it to be more of an autograph book.  I just put a lot of blank white pages in the middle.  We did put the Gift/Thank you pages in.  He is headed off to the Army in July.  I wanted to wait till she brought the family picture to add embellishments.  I so love the fall pictures they took of him.  Then like always I finish with a memory pocket at the end.  I do have more pictures at my FB page, Robbin CrazedCrafter.  Thanks Hugs Robbin

Courtney's Graduation Guestbook

There is so much I love about this book.  The colors are her favorite colors and I love them.  She is an outdoor going fishing girl and one of the nicest girls ever.  I have more pages from this book on my FB page Robbin CrazedCrafter.  I thought the birdcage combined with the butterfly is so cute.  I added the 3-D flower from Pro 31 Design.  I used Die-Namic dies from MFT Stamps on her first page.  I think the light brown Recollection bling is perfect for these pages.  The "quilt" page was designed by my friend Thersa.  It is super cute.  I was so excited when I tied that bow perfectly and the small Iamroses flowers and the buttons are perfect with the pictures.  The Family page is the cutest simplest page to make.  The round flower is cute with 3 different circles I wrinkled, edged it with vintage photo ink and the bling is perfect again.  I love this Graphic 45 page.  I have had the Once upon a Springtime page since it came out.  This is the first time I really used it.  It is such a cute page for her to put a picture of her and her man.  I can't wait to add her favorite pictures.  Please send me a friend request at my FB Robbin CrazedCrafter to see the rest of the pages.  Hugs, Robbin

Miranda's Prom Layout

Hi, Bloggers.  Wow has our lives have been crazy.  We made it through Prom & Graduation.  I made 3 guestbooks, this framed layout and 2 wall hangings in the last month.  They all turned out perfect.  This young lady asked me to make this for her.  She brought me her corsage, his flower, the feathers she wore in her hair, the ticket to get in the dance, the drawing an artist drew at after prom and the picture.  I had a hard time working with the feathers.  They didn't want to stay in place while I designed the layout.  I had to add few feathers cuz it was alittle empty and everything else I thought to add looked stupid.  The ticket layer perfect on top.  Her picture fit so nice in the headband.  The boyfriends boutonniere looks perfect with the drawing.  I added black pearls to the bottom left to balance out the dark colors up above.  Her corsage would not fit between the glass.  It looks great on the outside edge.
If you have any questions yell, Hugs Robbin

Michael & Jacklyn's Wedding Guestbook

Isn't this a great Wedding Guest Book.  I made this for my niece and she loves it.  I made the white lollipop flower and the center piece is a brad from Paper Studio, the clear acrylic 3-D flowers and butterflies are from Pro 31 Design.  The leaves are from IamRoses.com and the bling flourish is from Recollection.  I chose the saying because I thought it fitted Jacklyn perfectly.  I still have to add a few sayings to some of the pictures.  I wanted them to be perfect.  There are several more pages of engagement pictures I do not have posted.  The guestbook pages are made from using Word and there is a gift Thank you section too.  The Wedding Memories page was made using my Sweethearts cartridge from Cricut. The first page in the Wedding Memories section is the Mr&Mrs. page.  I made 5 other pages for wedding pictures. The last page is the pocket page trimmed in 2 laces and small butterfly punches.  I forgot to take a picture of the last page and it says, "The Beginning" instead of The End.  Thanks for stopping by Hugs Robbin
