Friends book for my niece

My niece asked me to make a book for her.  On vacation, she got to hang out with some friends she hadn't seen in a long time.  I love to make books and I got to use scraps!!  The book is from Scenic Route.

I've been scrappin'!!

Hey all, I got several kits in recently, one was my first Noel Mignon kit- this was "Sweet Sue".  It is absolutely jam packed with goodies and paper.  I have had so much fun with this kit.  I love the colors!! The papers are adoreable- October afternoon, Sassafrass Lass Indie Girl (I am officially in love) with an adoreable sticker sheet that I keep using over and over!! Here are some layouts:

I got this really nice plant from a friend of mine and then one day I noticed a birds nest.  It even has eggs!!  I thought that was really cool!!!

My scrapbooking cat

rego is my funny cat.  He thinks he is a dog, hangs around with us, follows us and even eats the dog food.  I was taking pictures of my scrapbooking pages and decided to plop right down on them.  Thanks Prego!!!

A fellow blogger turned me on to a great giveaway on the net. Sun and Earth products is giving away a bag of cleaning goodies. Yea I know, your first thought is "why isn't it scrapbook stuff". Well sooner or later you have to dig your way out the paper pile and clean. These cleaning products are environmentally friendly because they can be refilled at Whole foods and other grocery stores.

At the Everyday Scrapper, we post ideas, layouts or sketches everyday-yea, real stuff you can do EVERYDAY at home.  That's me.  I try to make the most of my supplies, by using what I have and jazzing it up.

Today I am going to show you a layout using bottlecaps-yep I am going green!!!
Here is my layout
I started with bottle caps and I smush them between two boards- but the bottlecaps face up on a board, put another board on top and pound with a hammer. You may want your hubby to help!! Don't pound too hard, there is a learning curve here.

Some don't always look the best!! It takes some practice, but there are endless ways to decorate them!!


Then I decorated the top and covered the bottom with lace to make a flower

Here are my decorated bottlecaps. I decided to use them for the first letters of my title
