Sibling LOVE layout

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a fantastic week! I am showing you this adorable layout I created last week. I am pretty happy with how it turned out and would love your input on what you think of it as well, so be sure to leave a comment below!

I have included step by step photos on how I created this masterpiece. I hope this helps you recreate this for yourself!

AND THE FINAL PROJECT:

Baby Shower Centerpiece

Hello all! I hope you had a great weekend! I wanted to show you what I have been working on, and finally finished! I used my New Arrival cartridge for the first time, and LOVE what I came up with! I hope you like it as much as I do!

I cut the umbrella at 6 inches, feet at 5 1/2 inches, diaper pins at 4 inches, and butterflies at 2 1/2 inches. I then cut them all using the flip function too, so I could adhere them back to back.

I used stickles, SU ribbon, lace, liquid pearls, and SU flat backed pearls to dress up this beauty. I used hot glue to adhere most of the cuts to bamboo skewers and the basket. I used clear stretchy string from Wal-Mart that I bought in the jewelry section, and used that to string the butterflies from the umbrella to make it look like they are flying!

I had a large container of pink prima flowers that I thought matched this centerpiece perfectly. So, I used them to look like they were growing under the umbrella.

Please let me know what you think!

Thanks for looking!

Swaps Book

Happy Monday everyone!!! Today's post is showing an Altered notebook titled swaps made for the Pay it Forward thread on the Cricut Messageboard. I also participated in the Collectors Cut blog to use my cricut cartridges more! My cartridge pulled for the week is Heritage. I used the font cut at 1 inch, shift and shadowed. I then took glossy accents and went over the top of the letters to make them pop and shiny. I am pretty happy with the end result. Let me know what you think!

Have a great week!

Strawberry Birthday Card

Today's post is a card I made for my mother for her birthday. I have been wanting to use that cute strawberry from Indie Art, and found the perfect way to use it! I like to use the Mojo Monday Blog for ideas and some mojo. They never fail on giving me the mojo I need! :) Below is the picture of the sketch, and the photos of the card I made. HERE is the link to the post.

I used an SU punch and a computer generated sentiment on the front. The copper dots are Viva Decor Pearl Pen. Stampin Up! Hemp Twine was used in place of ribbon. I also used the Stampin Up top note die to make the beautiful light brown shape on the base. Used stickles to decorate the strawberry- but before that I ran it through my Sizzix Big Kick and the swiss dots embossing folder to emboss the strawberry. I also chalked the edges with Dark Brown Cat's Eye Chalk Ink! Please let me know what you think! Thanks! :)

Holiday Chaos

Hello to all of my followers! I am sorry for the lack of posts the last week or so! I will do my best to catch up on all the chaos from the holidays! Anyone have plans for New Year's Eve? This year is the first time in 3 years that we will be able to go out and spend the night out with my brother and his wife. I am pretty excited.

I do have some photos to show of some mini cards I made for my partner in my GIBBS swap. I altered a glue dots box and put all 12 cards inside. I hope you like them!

Tree Ornament

I used SU papers for this project, and my scalloped circle nestabilities.I have to say this is not my original idea- this came from the Little Blue House Blog. They had a 12 days of ornaments run, and this one was one of my favorites. HERE is where you can find the instructions for this.

I created this ornament for my partner Peachy in the GIBBS 5 swap on the Cricut Messageboard.

Thanks for stopping by! Please let me know what you think! Have a fabulous weekend!

Another Christmas Card

Here is another Christmas card that I made with non-traditional colors. This was colored with Prismacolor pencils, using the Gamsol Technique. I brightened up a few spots with doodle dots using the white sakura gel pen. I used a bit of stickles to add some pop, divine swirls embossing folder on the backround, and sheer ribbon as well! Please tell me what you think! Enjoy!

Vintage/ Distressed Mini Album

This mini album was made for my partner Claudia on the Cricut Messageboard. I really am happy with how quickly I was able to make it! I made it in ONE DAY! Can you believe that?! I can't! LOL! I was on a roll, and just kept going! The more and more I look at it, the more and more I like it. I used a ton of different elements, and I hope my partner likes what I made. I used Tim Holtz stamps that my friend Peachy let me borrow. She is such a sweetheart! Thanks so much Peachy!  I used Distress Stickles, several stick pins I am unsure of the name brand. I used ribbon galore- I always fall for sheer. I think it makes projects look nicer and blend much better. I had some tim holtz tattered floral cuts from when I was in branson, along with the flourish on the front. I like how it gave the feel of the book. BEWARE: THERE ARE LOTS OF PICTURES TAKEN!!! There are so many details, and I wanted to catch as many as I could.

Please leave a comment, and let me know what you think! Thanks a bunch!

Halloween Paint Can

Hello everyone! Today I am showing you one of the creations I made for GIBBS 4 Swap on the Cricut Messageboard. I went with a Halloween theme, since my partner said that her family loves that holiday, I thought I'd take and run with the idea! Here are the pictures of the can. It really is hard getting all angles of it- but I hope I showed you as much of it as possible!

Please tell me what you think! I love comments!
