Christmas is a Coming!

The layout above follows COW 34. 2 solid and 2 patterned paper scraps, embellies of my choice, and a journal spot/card. I did this layout for Danny's book. I absolutely love it! I love the journaling card, the background, and the title worked really well.
I made the above Christmas card with bauble die cuts. I faked stitched around them.
I did the above layout for the wedding album for a Christmas gift! I made the title with my cricut. I like the flowers, a little splash of color.

Layouts

The above layout is for my cookbook. I did the title and "olives" and "bell peppers" with the cricut. I only have the George and Basic Shapes cartridge, but I thought outside the box! I made this pizza for the first time on my birthday last year and it is now a family favorite.
I did the above layout for my parents wedding album. I think it turned out well. I really like the journaling spot. Thanks for looking!

A Christmas Card and a COW

I created the above Christmas card above using a clear stamp set. It is very simple but cute. I only have 37 left to make!
The layout above is for Danny's scrapbook. I kinda followed COW#27. The only guideline I followed was using the word hero in my title. I let my creativity guide me. I used my cricut for the title, the journaling circle, and the tag. I fake stitched with a white gel pen around everything. I really like how it turned out! Thanks for looking!

A Saturday Well Spent

Today was a great day! I got my cricut today!!! It came with George and Basic Shapes Cartridge . So of course I had to play with it right away. I have been focusing my creativity energy on other people lately so I decided to make something just for me. I made a Christmas planner, just the holder I will make the lists starting tomorrow. I used a basic grey Christmas collection. I used my cricut for the lettering. I had never made one before but found it easy and a lot of fun.






The layout above is the first project I ever used my cricut on!!! It's COW#32. A learning experience, 3 or more photos, brads, buttons, and at least one fabric flower.
I did this layout for one of the monthly challenges at Scrapjazz. I masked the word Dogwood with light pink ink. This was the first time I had ever tried this technique, which is why it isn't perfect. I will definitely be trying it again!
I made the above Christmas card with die cuts! It is size 4x6. The inside says merry Christmas. I am entering it in Totally Papercrafts Christmas challenge here is the link http://totallypapercrafts.blogspot.com/2011/08/challenge-80-christmas-in-august.html.

I made the above Christmas card with a rubber stamp. The size is 4x6. Inside says Merry Christmas.

All in all are great and productive day!! Thanks for looking!!

Swap Cards and a Layout

The card above is one for the holiday swap for August. The challenge was black and pink, I was so not happy about this. I paper pieced both the bird and hat. I drew the hat pieces myself. The size is 4x6. Inside says Merry Christmas.



The card above is the another holiday swap card for August. I cheated with this one. I stamped black and dark pink snowflakes. The dark pink is called Merlot, it looks red in the picture. The size is 4x6. Inside says Merry Christmas.

I did the above layout for my parents wedding album. I followed the challenge at Scrapjazz- this months inspiration challenge. We needed the use a card that was shown in the thread. I got inspiration from the borders, the polka dots, and the theme- love/anniversary. Thanks for looking!

Baby Boy Card

A friend of my roommates suddenly hand a baby (she had no clue she was pregnant). Since she had nothing for the baby we all started gathering things for her. I knew she could get clothes, blankets, and such for other people. But I knew she would need diapers and wipes so my husband and picked her up some when we went shopping yesterday. I also made her this card. Though she had no idea about the baby he needs to know she as support. This card is my favorite baby card I have made to date! I am entering it in Creative Card Crew's challenge http://creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/2011/08/hand-made-flowers.html Thanks for looking!
P.S I handmade the flower lol.
