Lil Pipsqueak Layout

Hi everyone!

How are you all today?!

I'm so excited to share my very first layout.  I am so happy the way it turned out that I'm already making more.  This layout is of my nephew.  I have no kids so I'm happy to scrapbook him :)

 I decided to keep the photo edges rough.  Went for a change instead of my normal "everything must have a smooth edge".

Recipe:

Papers are from my stash and DCWV Nursery Baby Boy

Lil Pipsqueak from Little Scraps Of Heaven Designs

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Iced Spruce and Spun Sugar

Circles in the background came from the Silhouette store

Jaded Blossom Guest Designer-Treat Box

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday.  I hope you all have a great week!

I'm here today to share my final project as a Guest Designer for Jaded Blossom.

I just want to thank Candace and Michelle for giving me the opportunity to share my creativity using their awesome stamps this month.  Thanks ladies I had a fabulous time working with you all!

Since my other project was a card I decided to share a treat box.  I am actually making a few of these for a customer.  She's trying to get a head start on Halloween but wanted to see one made first :)

I used the Monster Mash stamp set, Clear Boxes and Flag Die.

Spellbinders Nestabilities Small Circle and Small Scallop Circle were used.  The cute Pumpkin comes from Designs On Cloud 9 Spooky Cakes and I finished it off with a small amount of Halloween Twine from Trendy Twine.

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out Jaded Blossom to see all the stamps, packaging and dies.

Have a fabulous crafty day!

Honeybearz Designs Design Team Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to our August Honeybearz Designs Design Team Blog Hop!

Are you excited as I am right now?  We have LOTS to see, so let's get started!

Well hopefully you have arrived here from the incredibly talented Mindy.  If not, then make sure you go back to Honeybearz Designs so that you can start at the beginning with Lisa and also so you can see the amazing blog candy Lisa is offering for this hop.  You definitely don't want to miss a thing!

Lisa from Honeybearz Designs has opened at store called what else other than Honeybearz Designs.  Honeybearz Designs has a huge selection of scrapbooking supplies.  Your one stop shop. They carry just about everything and anything you could want to make your next paper craft project unique and meaningful so be sure to swing on by and have a look.

Now on to my project for todays hop!

I decided to create a scrapbook about my nephew using the 12 Pocket & Tag Book, Echo Park Pride And Joy Kit and Echo Park Soda Fountain Collection.  All of these products can be found at Honeybearz Designs.

My nephew is my honey bunny, he's the best and I wanted to create something special for myself and my fiance.  Some pictures and tags are not shown because they have stuff on them that has not been approved by my sister in law yet.  Once I get permission for those pictures I will share :)  This is the first time I've used an album like this so I apologize for the picture quality.

I really loved the Echo Park Pride And Joy and really wanted to focus on using the papers and sticker elements from the kit.  I decided not to go with smooth edges like I normally do, I wanted a change :)

Thanks so much for hopping by and be sure to check out Honeybearz Designs!

Your next stop is the uber talented Tricia!

Have a fabulous crafty day!

Frog Shape Card

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!  Another day closer to the weekend!  Yay!

I wanted to share a quick shape card I made...

The cut came from Toad-ally Cute from My Scrap Chick.  I off set the shape in Silhouette and welded two together.  Papers are from my scraps and Echo Park Soda Fountain Collection.  Sentiment is from Pink By Design Flirty Girl stamp set and I inked the edges with Stampin Up Old Olive.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a fabulous crafty day!

Apple A Day Easel Card

Hi everyone!

How are you all today?  We had some nasty storms come through earlier but it's nothing but beautiful weather now.

Over the weekend I had hosted an Easel Card Blog Hop on my sister page The Blog Hop Princess.  I love easel cards and decided to share one today that I recently made.

The shape comes from the Silhouette store.  I offset the shape and welded two together and created one offset shape for the top base.  I used Jaded Blossom Feeling Fruity and Pattern Kisses stamp sets.  Papers came from my stash and of course I used a white gel pen and VersaFine in Onyx Black.

I'm still learning the Silhouette but would anyone like a tutorial if I can do it?  Let me know, I will try to figure it out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a fabulous crafty day!
