knees....

Hello Everyone,

ok so I am bummed that I am still in mega recovery mode from my bilateral knee surgery. The left knee is almost free of pain but the right knee which I have nick named Puff Daddy is still giving me all sorts of pain. I am hoping by the weekend I will feel a little crafty and get some sewing therapy in.

I have some summer dresses in the back of my head, a cute idea for a reversible little purse, a crayon roll up, etc....

Also those of you who were asking about the classes I taught at mega meet I will be teaching them again at Scrappy Chic in Livonia Mi.

Have a great day, Hailey

mega meet came and went.

hello everyone,

here are all the pages of my albums I taught at megameet. I still have a few kits available of each. email me if you are interested.

Material Girl and Proper Gentleman

Have a great day, Hailey

2 weeks in the life

phew again...I cannot seem to get in a posting rhythm. I would like to be able to post and update every couple of days but again it has been busy....Lets see what have I been up 2....

Finishing instructions for my 2 classes at MegaMeet. I need a nice sunny day so I can get some good pictures of each page.
Actually scrapping my own pictures by taking over my small scrap space at Pat's house and his dining room table. Opening day for little league..
A little indoor knee hockey while it was raining out.
Taking the fur baby to training.
And oh yeah 3 birthdays in the matter of three weeks....My son's this past Sunday, Pat's this Sunday, and my daughter's next Sunday. Oh and toss in kitting 300 class kits for Mega Meet, a dress rehearsal tonight, recital tomorrow for my daughter, mother's day, and a surgery consult for my knee. Hope you enjoyed my fun pics from the past weeks. PS. you can see how overcast and rainy it has been in Michigan...we need some warmth and sun.

Have a great day, Hailey

some new material....

well we made it back from one frozen tundra to arrive in another....wtf.....there was an insane amount of snow in breckenridge. it took us 3 hours to get to breck from denver and 5 hours to get back to denver....ps it is only 87 miles, so that will tell you how crazy the weather was.....

But none the less I came back with some amazing new material for a wonderful little mini album.

Have a great day (or night), Hailey

Mega Meet here we come....

hello everyone,

I am very excited that both of our class submissions we accepted for Great Lakes Mega Meet. Those of you in the Tri-State area and Canada already know that this is the largest and best Scrapbook Expo that comes around. This year Tim Holtz is even teaching some classes.....

So in a three day span I will teach 300 people....very exhausting and awesome at the same time. 2 years ago at CKC Ft. Lauderdale, I taught 600 people so I am looking forward to only 2 classes per day so I can enjoy the show and talk to some more of my crafty peeps. Teaching is definitely my passion second to creating fun projects. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones :)

Hurry up and register to be notified as soon as classes open up. Typically they sell out on the first or second day of registration. Click on the link above to go to the mega meet site.

I will also be teaching some additional classes exclusive to Scrappy Chic at the store the same weekend.....keep an eye out in their newsletter for the class description and times.....

Have a great day, Hailey

ok mostly done....

ok so here are the covers of the mini-books I had to whip up tonight for Chris to submit for me to teach at mega meet. You would think after the 3rd year we would figure out the date that class samples needed to be completed by :)

The basic insides are done too but need a little sprucing. Dont worry they will be fun :) too

Have a great day or night, Hailey

ready-set-scrap

Haha that's what I feel like today. Chris the owner of the best store Scrappy Chic, in Livonia was funny today. We were talking about what classes to offer at the local Scrapbook Convention in May - MegaMeet, and I said well when are they due? She emailed me that they we already due but if we get them something today or tomorrow they could consider it....WOW so a quick trip with all the guys at lunch today we ran into the store and picked up some supplies.

Then tonight I need to whip out two ridiculous fantastic eye catching mini-books.....

I am making one Father's Day/Manly book with G45 papers that mind you arrived just before we got to the store, and one with the cute new CosmoCricket....

So some speedy scrapping tonight...Have a great day, Hailey

ooohh ahhhhh a new class.....

well you have asked for canvas, acrylic, fabric, etc....so here it is the new C.A.F.E' Mixed Medium Album Workshop. In this workshop you will learn so many techniques and use new mediums, learn to incorporate fabric and other fun mediums items into your albums.

In the workshop students will make 2 canvas pages, 2 acrylic pages, 2 chipboard pages, an 1 overlay. I will be putting together the workshop fee in the next week or so.

until then here are some sneaks at the album.

Have a great day, Hailey

Upcoming Class

Hello Everyone,

I am bringing back an oldie but goodie. I taught this class over 3 years ago and I think I am going to bring it back. The beach jar mini book. I have an upcoming trip to Jamaica and will be returning with some sand and will be making another one of these cute jars for my shelf.

What do you think? Do you have any sand or shells around and want to take this class? Let me know so I can get it on the schedule.

PS - These will be for Scrappy Chic in Livonia...but I do travel to teach so if you want this at your store let me know so I can set it up!

Have a great day, Hailey

Almost December Daily

almost December! Hi everyone.....I hope you all had fun in class yesterday. I am working on pictures of the base album and will have them all loaded to flickr by tonight...the link is in my sidebar. Most likely by 9pm after the kiddos are in bed! Then starting on Dec 2nd(about the same time) I am planing to post the completed page from Dec 1st. If you have any questions please email me at hailey@paper-and-glue.com

25 days leading to Christmas

December Daily inspired by Ali Edwards . Because I am going to teach this as a class I had to use items that were current and available even though I would much prefer to use little bits that are found. However I am still very happy with how the base turned out and I can add my little pieces as I complete each day.

Here are a few peeks of the album. If you want a kit they will not be available until after I teach the class at Scrappy Chic. I will also be doing daily updates with journaling and pictures during December if you are taking the class or if you just want to check back and see how my album shapes up!

Have a great day, Hailey

<3 my boyfriend album

ok so I wanted to make a cute mini album of why I heart my boyfriend. Here is the cover! 100% CosmoCricket....Mr Campy, Girl Friday, and the Boyfriend lines.

phew...last post

Dear Cosmo Cricket,

Please pick me.

From, Hailey AKA the minibook mama

Here are some more "favorites" from my man-ly coworkers :)

Please look down at my older posts, some feature Cosmo Cricket in simpler designed layouts and mini's.

some of my best work...

WHAT....how does someone pick their best work....I had a hard time so I had some coworkers help. PS - I work with almost all men so this was a challenge :) Here are a couple more mini-books (they are slowly taking over bookcases across michigan).

Also, my office does not make for spectacular photo studio, so please bare with me...hehe.

Please look down at more layouts with Cosmo Cricket products.

Hailey

seriously 30 people....

ok so I went into the store last night ( http://www.scrappychiclivonia.com ) to teach my class (grungeboard quilt) and looked at the sign up sheet for my upcoming class and WHAT 19 people signed up 1 with a question about a kit, 5 kits for ladies in Grand Rapids (2.5 hour drive from the store) and 4 more that cannot come to the class but want a kit. I was soooooooooooooooooooooo excited. Well I must thank Cosmo Cricket for designing such super cute paper (a little suck up since I am trying out for the design team) but I guess the recipe book must be pretty cool too.....here are a few picks. I will be ordering more stuff for the kits as the order coming in today will not fulfill the new wave of kits so if you are interested check out the kit in my etsy shop!

PS - It will come with a PDF with about 40+ recipes from our swap so you can use them too.
