Club Scrap Transformations Blog Hop

Club Scrap "Transformations" Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog today!!  Its been a nightmare of a month "electronically" speaking in my household.  To start with, my laptop died and its been 3 weeks now with no computer - talk about me going crazy.  Then we started losing wireless signal in our house every time the microwave was being used, but it started getting worse and we kept getting dropped constantly.  I ended up having to buy a new router.  Then it turns out our phone company, who our internet service provider works through, has over sold internet service in our town, so every night - like clock work - our internet quits working at 8:15pm.  I almost didn't think I would be able to get a blog post done this month.  I am working on my son's tablet to get this done.  And I am crossing my fingers I will get my laptop back by the end of this week!!

So this month I wanted to make something that I could use to carry all my ATC cards to retreat next week and in turn, have a place to store the ones I get from the other lovely ladies at retreat!!  I found a project that was a photo album wallet.  I used the same technique, but modified the measurements to hold ATC cards instead of photos.  I also added a ribbon to make the wallet more of a purse.  There is 4 sections each holding 6 ATC's.  I also added a clip with ribbons and a pen.  Now to finish up the ATC cards before retreat!!





Here is the Youtube video that provides the instructions for the wallet:

This month's challenge was to use follow one of Club Scrap's sketches.   I chose to do the scrapbook page layout sketch.  These are some old old photos of my kiddos - so fun to look back at them - they have grown so much, so fast.  Here is the sketch:


I used this Club Scrap months' kit "Transformations" which I totally love.
