2 Month Baby Girl Layout

Today's post is to show a layout I've done to add to the baby album I am working on for a friend of mine. She was due on Thursday, and the baby hasn't decided to come yet! We are anxiously waiting for Tatum Lynn to shine her face, but she is taking her sweet time!

I used Plantin Schoolbook for the font and numbers, and used 2 different Stampin' Up! Sizzix dies for the butterflies. I found a butterfly stamp to add a bit more butterflies around the layout. I added some bling to a few of the butterflies and some Prima Say it with Pearls to the layout itself. I used a Stampin' Up! tab punch on the photo mat to make the layout unique.

Please let me know what you think! Thanks for looking!

Tags made for tag swap

Happy Hump Day to all! I hope everyones week is going fantastic! I know mine isn't going fast enough! As of today, I leave in ONE WEEK to go to Branson to meet some wonderful women and do some crafting for 4 days!!!! I'm looking forward to the relaxation, but I know it will be a lack of rest, as most of us are night owls!


On to the tags I made for my yahoo group. I really like the simplicity and vintage look of this!

 I cut the tag using Design Studio, and cut it with my Cricut Expression. I chalked the edges with Dark Brown Cat's Eye Chalk ink, I stamped the cute musical image with Timber Brown StazOn Ink (it's starting to dry up, time to buy a new pad!). I cut the swirl using Songbird, and used my Xyron to adhere it to the tag. Before I put the swirl on the tag, I spritzed it with my homemade glimmer mist (Tim Holtz style of course!) I made a paper flower using scallop circles from my nestabilities. I used some rhinestones to dress up and add a bit of bling. I hope you like it! I really wanted to keep it simple and make itso someone were able to put a name on or whatever for a gift.





Have a fabulous Wednesday! Thanks for looking!

P.S.- I seem to be having issues with the code copying for the entire picture of the tag. I will do my best to fix later, but this is the one photo that is my absolute favorite!!!

Well onto this cute little album I made! I got the instructions from the splitcoast stampers site. HERE is the link to the instructions.

tags and silhouettes:


All cuts were from the Heritage cartridge, except the tags. The tags were cut with Plantin Schoolbook. I used Bazzill cardstock on the front of the pockets. I used Recollections cardstock for the background and the dark brown cuts. I used DCWV doubled up with my ATG tape for the tags. I used a prima flower on the front cover and distressed it with distress ink. I chalked the edges on just about everything, using Dew Drop Chalk ink in Purple Hydrangia, and I also used Timber Brown StazOn ink to give a distressed edge look on the paper adhesive ribbon. I used regular cinnamon stickles to decorate the brown cardstock, and straw distress stickles for the clock, lamp, and feather pen. I used a left over paper that I had from the tree cut out, and made it into a stencil, and got the tree images on the tags. I spritzed with Tim Holtz's version of glimmer mist. I hope the person I made it for really likes it!

Please leave a comment and let me know you stopped by. Let me know what you think of my creations! GOOD OR BAD! I would love to hear from YOU! Have a great day!

Home is Where the Heart is... GIBBS

Hello everyone! Thank goodness it's Friday!!!

Today I'd like to show you one of my favorite items in the GIBBS Swap I participated in. This word was "Home is Where the Heart Is." I combined it with the word "Wordbook." This is the creation I came up with:

Close-up of the cover:


I created this using Cricut Design Studio, using Plantin Schoolbook. I embossed various sections using Traffic Jam and Spots and Dots Cuttlebug embossing folders. I used white wash core'dinations paper, and sanded them to get a total color difference. I love these papers, and am totally addicted to the line! I used alabaster and dark brown cat's eye chalk ink to chalk the edges on all of the pages. I used Stampin Up Hemp Twine to bind the book. I used Stampin Up large eyelets, and Stampin up old Olive ribbon on the front, along with Diamond Glaze to accentuate the flowers. I used various ribbons to decorate otherwise... I decorated with a piece of grungeboard that I decorated with distressed ink, perfect pearls, and stickles.

I hope you have enjoyed what I have shown. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!!!

BBTB Contest Summer Card

I had fun with this.I used 3 cartridges for my project here. I used Stretch Your Imagination, Plantin Schoolbook, and Wild Card. I think that's the first time I've ever used more than one cartridge! I guess you could say my creativity is expanding! YAY! So the contest said it had to be a summer card with a yellow button- My first thought of summer was sun, and the second was water- or the beach. So this is what I've created...

Welcome Baby Elizah Rose!

Well last night baby girl Elizah Rose came into this world. I had the opportunity to make another fun baby basket! This time it was for a girl! I had more time to work on this one. I used Plantin Schoolbook and Potpourri Basket cartridges with my cricut expression. I also used 3-d embellishment stickers from It's a Girl Light Idea K&Co. and pink sweet feet from Best Occasions. I used martha stewart calla lily ribbon and also Michaels pink and brown plaid ribbon. I had lots of fun with this one and can't wait to make another!
