Ok... so between my SSD shopping bonanza and a trip to hobby lobby and Michaels today, here's what I've got:

a few chipboard albums (a star, Jack, a "my word" album), several "ready for chipboard" albums from FAB SSD designers, a Xyron Cheetah 2", a crop-a-dile, some ribbons, a bone folder, cutter bee retractable knife and self healing cutting mat, white cardstock paper, mod podge (I hope I still have that somewhere) and krylon spray adhesive.

I WANT to make a few albums, that cool CD album and CD case projects. So now what? :D Hee hee...
 
Do you have a brush for the modge podge? If you are planning on sanding/inking, you might need a file and some dye-based ink. Otherwise, sounds like you are ready to roll!

Now it's time to get to work! LOL! Can't wait to see your first project! :thumbup:
 
Woohoooo! You are almost all stocked up!! How exciting! Deanna gave some great advice. I know some use a file to sand. I have a sanding sponge. It's what I had on hand though it's probably more likely you have a nail file somewhere at home. Other optional embellies I CAN'T live without: buttons (I just buy the big bags from the sewing section b/c they're lots cheaper than "scrapbooking buttons"), fabric and paper flowers, and foam adhesive squares.
 
big lots.....of trouble...

hey girls...well, i made a little jaunt to BIG LOTS today..and got into you guessed it..>BIG LOTS of trouble..ladies..they have some FaBULOUs finds! I have a few hybrid projects up my sleeve...but oh my gosh...i got an awesome LOT of goodiez...

accordion albums (awesome) bought like 7 of them...the coolest notebooks...they look like very alterable...folders...let's see..a few albums... oh my goodness....what else...sanding block (of course..have a TON but would be LOSt if i couldn't find them), a few frames...but the best deal was those accordion books...if you have a BIG LOTS..RUN don't WALK out there and grab those up...they are tooooo cooL!

later taters...the crop-a-dile ROCKS..i have several of them (don't fret..i used to own my own LSS..that is why..) they are SOO useful for EVERYTHING though! have an awesome weekend...xoxo
 
Yepp, I keep tabs on my Big Lots too, but they usually don't have the same thing as another store so if you have 2 around you, check both!!!
 
And I buy all the albums here at SSD - stocked up at the sale here ;)

At the moment I am busy working on my second ever hybrid project: A Luggage Tag Album using my newest kit "Boysenberry".

I am way behind, cause I signed up for the Recipe Album which I haven't started yet. And then there is the birthday album of my DS waiting - it was Fire Truck themed so I had to buy Heather Roselli's "To the rescue" kit.

I am not a file girl, I prefer a sharp craft knife/cutter - everybody is different, I guess.

So, create your album pages, print them out and let the ink dry properly. If you have bought an ablum from SSD I bet there is a handy instruction in the zip! Cut the prints out and glue/modge podge them on, one side at a time. Let the glue dry completely before sanding/cutting the edges. When one side is done, do the other side.

Although I only have done one - it is so much fun, addictive and not as hard as it looks! Have fun!

I did too! I won ADSR and one of the prizes (the best prize if you ask me) was a $50 certificate for SSD! I spent it in 5 minutes flat! :thumbup: I love the instructions included in zips for newbies like me an I see it is quickly becoming a new addiction for me too!

Thanks girls!
