You Colour My World Layout!

When my family was here on the weekend we took some photos and I was so inspired with cutting out flowers for my flower pot card I also decided to scrapbook a layout using some of these pictures. Now while I am not a mother myself I thought this layout could definately represent how I feel about my 2 Nephews and Neice and just how much they mean to me! I wanted the layout to co-ordinate with the Title "You Colour My World" so I made the photos of each of them in black and white and then the photo of the 4 of us in Colour to represent my world! Here is my layout! Details to follow below:



Here is a close up of the clouds - I cut one of the clouds from the cloud patterned paper and used it as a template to cut one from the matching papers to the flowers I had cut out! since I went gung ho with the flowers I added one up with the clouds as well!



I cut down one of the 3x3 cards from the patterned paper line and used it for my journaling and added a little scalloped board in some of the brown patterned paper. I also added a little Stickles to the centre of the flowers to give them a little more pop!



I had some fun with Ribbon using a red ruffled one with a brown one that I scrunched every inch or so using some embroidery thread! I also added a felt scallop border under the ribbon!

I cut the title from two of the patterned pieces of paper to match the rest of the layout!

Details: Patterned Paper: Pebbles Tee House Collection, Felt, Embroidery Floss, Ribbon from my stash and Stickles.

LRW -Challenge #28 Brads

The challenge this week on Little Red Wagon is to use Brads! I managed to use two types of brads on this flower pot card!

Details: Patterned Paper is from the Pebbles "Tree House Collection" and the one patterned paper just screamed to have the flowers hand cut! The Sentiment is PTI and the Ribbon was from my stash. I actually broke open my ITOP from it's package to try it out for one of the brads... I used a little piece of cut fabric to make the heart brad and applied a little bling flower on top of the heart... The other 2 brads are just some medium sized ones and I also applied a little bit of bling to the centre of them!

Looking forward to seeing all the creative things you can do with some brads! Make sure you link up your projects so we can check them all out!

Happy Mothers Day Cupcake

This is what it looks like all wrapped up!
Well it is Mothers day today and we have a rather busy day around here... I made the above cupcake box and pick for a cupcake for my Mother. I wanted something else in addition to the usual flowers I give her as a little surprise. I also made one for Wayne's Mom, my Sister in law and her mom as we are having my family over for a little bbq of chicken and shrimp!

Details for the cupcake - The box is cut with my cricut Using the sweet Treats Cartridge. I cut some extra flowers and added them on two sides of the box. I also used some k and co patterned paper and my circle punch to crate centres for the flower and in the center of the polka dots added a little yellow stickles! The Happy Mothers day pick was made using the Mothers Day 2010 Cricut solutions cartridge! Inside is a homemade chocolate cupcake with some sprinkles! I hope they enjoy!

To everyone who reads this Happy Mother's Day!

As I grow - Girl Page

As part of this album I had to create multiple pages of the same layout as they had 5 children while also trying to achieve multiple photos on a page. Here is the girl version of the children growing up pages.

Page 1

2nd Page

Items used: Imaginisce Patterned paper stickers & stamps. Spellbinders to create the tree, tree trunk is felt I cut the flower from my cricut and the word grow is a slice cut - I then used a little stickles to make them pop! Added some sequins and gems... I also coloured in the birdie stamp with my copics!

LRW Challenge#27 - Colours Pink & Green

Yeah... it is Wed again! Rosanne's pick this week was to create something Pink and Green! Since I appear to be on an American Crafts kick recently I used the Blue Skies Line to create this little very quick card!

Details: Patterned Paper: American Crafts "Blue Skies" I hand cut the birds from one of the papers in the line and pop dotted them off of the trees! I used a little bazzil bling cardstock and a new EK Success punch I purchased about a month ago! I was so excited to find this punch! The ribbon was from my stash and the Home Tweet Home is a sentiment from the Bird Watching set from PTI. Of course I just had to add a little stickles to the birdie wings!
