Memory Frame

Here's a quick post tonight.

A memories frame that I gifted to a friend. It is a standard 8-1/2" x 11" frame. I used white, brown and olive green cardstock. The Flourishes were made with Grunge board on my Expression using the Accent Essentials Cart while using a deep cuting blade (multi-cut x 3). It's stamped with black ink then embossed with gold embosing powder. I added pearls and ribbon for embelishments. The cardstock is also stitched with black thread on a standard sewing machine.

Enjoy

Bloom Card

Good Evening all!

   I had a new project today, a goodbye card. (tear)

We have a wonderful lady at the office who is moving all the way to Pennsylvania. :( It makes me sad just thinking about losing her. I hate to share her, but I know that she'll make other people happy where she's going.With this in mind I created a card just for her!!

   This is a standard 5 x 7" card. I chose red cardstock and printed floral paper with alot of orange. (Her favorite color). I printed the verbage on white cardstock them sewed a v line on top and bottom. I embelished with paper flowers from Flora doodles and assorted buttons. They are adheared to the card with mini Zots.

An inside view:

   Has a short saying "when life uproots you...bloom" and added sentiments. I also added a backsplash to the envelope of the floral paper left over.

Thats all for now... Thanks for stoping by!

Onsie Baby Shower Card

Well it's been quite awhile since my last post! I've taken a scrapbooking hiatus these last couple of months, but now I'm back and more creative than ever!! So to celebrate this occasion I wanted to share an adorable baby shower card I just completed. I got the initial idea from an idea book but I tweeked it and made it my own. You can use this same concept from a boy card, just substiture the pink and brown for blue and green.

I created the card using Sure Cuts Alot 2. Unfortunately, as of right now I don't have the card file for the Cricut... but I did create the envelope in Design Studios using the Wild Card Cart.

This card has three layers. Pink, white and brown cardstock. Using the files I created you can cut each layer then assemble and add embelishments as desired. I used pearl rinestones, pink/ brown flowers from Daisy Doodles, a brown button and brown ribbon. If you have SCAL 2 and would like the files just let me know and I can email it to you. (free of course)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Scrapbook Layouts

I wanted to post some scrapbooking layouts that I thought were super cute!! Hope you like

"PuppyLove" we bought a new German Sheperd puppy and we all fell in love with him!!

In 2007 we took a trip to Dallas TX and visited Six Flags. We had tons of fun. The reason we're with Pepe Le Pew was because my mother is an avid collector of all things skunk ;) strange I know. But if you've met her then you'd understand.




We met Wonder Woman at Six Flags... and she was hott!! lol Can't you tell!!



Last but not least. This is a sample of a title page I did for my scrapbook of my boyfriend and myself. I know it's sometimes hard to think of Title pages for books so here's some inspiration.

A lemon, lime, chocolate-covered strawberry & cherry. They look so yummy I wanna take a bite out of 'em!!

So I tried my hand at Pillow Boxes. Let me know what you think!!

I made these for Easter this year by using my Bug (cricut) & George & Basic Shapes Cart. They were made for a Women's Bible Study class my grandmother attends. The insides were filled with candy and tied with a piece of ribbon.

I also made some that were for an elementry class. The easter dogs were made with Paper Pups and the GBS carts.And you'll find those at the bottom.

If you would like to have instruction on how I made these, please e-mail me.

Everyone loved them!! They were super easy to make. I absolutely loved the way they turned out and it was ever better when I gave them away.

Hopefully soon I'll have some more pics posted of other crafts I've completed and instructions if you'd like them.

!!Thanks for stopping by & Come back soon!!
