Engagement Card

Finally I am updating this blog! Anthony's cousin got engaged last week and I wanted to make them a card. I saw this idea on the Cricut messageboard. It was cut from Sweethearts a 6 inches. I was so excited to get this cart a few weeks ago and I finally was able to play with it.

Thanks for looking!

Baby Card

I've been terrible at updating my blog this month...A few weeks ago I found out my sister is 5 months pregnant with a baby boy and most of my spare time I'm shopping for him! :)

Here's a card I made for her and her husband. I didn't write down the details...oops! All the paper was in my stash. The circle and scallop were cut from Mini Monograms. The giraffe is a $1 stamp from Michael's.

Thanks for looking and this month I will be better at updating with everything I've been working on!

Scrapsketch #163

Here's sketch #163 over at Scrapsketch...

And here's the layout I created. I used more of the pictures from my sister's beautiful Caribbean wedding. These are just close up shots of some of the rings, sand ceremony, bouquet, and a rose in the sand that fell off my brother in law's boutonnière. The paper was all from my stash. From the Calligraphy cartridge, details was cut at 2" and the swirl was cut at 1". The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch.

Sketch #157

Here's my very first layout for the DT over at ScrapSketch. Here's the sketch...

And here's the layout. My sister got married in Anguilla (a tiny island in the Caribbean) and I've been wanting to do some layouts for her to frame. This sketch was perfect for the pictures! The tan and off white papers are coordinations. The tan stripe paper is from ATD Pure stack. The solid blue and pattern blue is from the Paper Studio Flutter Loft stack. The circle is from George at 11" and the seashells are from Stretch Your Imagination at 2". Their last name (Gervais) was cut in Design Studio with Calligraphy. This is the first cut I've got to come out with that darn cartridge! I got the starfish from Joann's and they are cute, but they are so fragile! I broke the first two just arranging them on the LO!

Thanks for looking and go check out what the other ladies created with this sketch!

Sleeping Puppy

I've been home with pink eye since Tuesday and today I finally got some motivation after reading the new Scrapbooks Etc magazine. I lifted this idea from a Halloween layout on page 19. The lighting isn't the greatest because there was a storm outside when I was trying to get some natural light!

This is another page for Hurley's album. I really went out of my comfort zone which I've been trying to do! I usually only use one pattern paper and keep it pretty simple so I really like this one. The striped paper is from the DCWV Green Stack and the green dot is from the Nana's Nursery stack. I used Storybook to cut the big marquee at 7 1/2" and the smaller marquees at 3" & 2 3/4". The bone is cut from Mickey at 3/4" and sleeping is from Makin the Grade at 1". The crooked scallop and circle are from Mini Monograms and I don't remember what size. The paw stamp is StampinUp and the puppy stamp is Cloud 9 Designs. I used the Bow Easy to do a super small bow on the bone and it looks really cute in person!

You can click on any picture to enlarge it. As always, thank you for looking!
