Hawaii Layout

 
ALOHA!!! Today I worked on one more layout from our Hawaii trip from the beginning of this year. I used the "Aloha Kids" paper peicing file from KaDoodle Bug Designs.
 
 The pattern paper I used in my layout is from a YouTube friend, Lori, aka elemeniah.
She sent me a bunch of "Hawaii" paper quite awhile ago.
 My title was created using My Creative Times "Lower Case Fun Dies"

~MERRY CHRISTMAS~

 
Merry Christmas to all my fans!!!!
 
I made four gift card holders for my in-laws. The gift card holders, scallop circle, and circle are all from the Silhouette Studio. The images are from KaDoodle Bug Designs file "Santa's Workshop Crew". I used the print and cut feature on my Cameo and placed the images inside of the circles. I love this feature and it is a true time-saver.
 
I added some twine in the colors of red and green to finish it off.
 The gift cards are perfect you don't need to adjust them at all! Just make sure that you have a thicker cardstock so that it's pretty sturdy. I used DCWV The Christmas Combo stack.

M&M Scrapbook Layout

 
Good Morning! Today I am sharing a layout I made using the "Mmmm Mmmm Good" file from Paper Piecings by Nikki.
 
We took a little trip over to Minnesota to go to the Mall of America (it's about a 3.5 hour drive) to do a little shopping and lo and behold they have their own M&M store. We were taking in the sights of the huge mall and we saw a photo opportunity so Mikayla went on over to the Blue M&M and I snapped a quick photo with my phone.
 
 
The M&M pattern paper is from my good friend Colleen Duffy Hathaway. I was mentioning this layout to her and she just happened to have the perfect paper for it. I tried to call my local Michaels and they didn't have it so she sent it to me. Thank you Colleen!!

Digital Delights by Louby Loo

 
Welcome to another Design Team project for Digital Delights by Louby Loo!!
 
 I decided to make a winter card using "Post Girl Pat", which you can find HERE if your interested.
 
 I added some snowflakes from a border punch.
Then of course jazzed it up with STICKLES!!!
 I added a pom-pom to the top of her snow hat.
Also, don't you just love her twine bow around her ponytails?
I love how she turned out and I even made her my profile picture on my Facebook Page:

The Bride and Groom Layout

 
Afternoon my friends!
 
I made my very first layout for my wedding album and as of right now it is sitting in a shadow box right above my computer. I am very proud of the way it turned out. As most of you know I am not the flowery type although I might just dive right in, lol.
 
I used the "Tie the Knot Bears" from KaDoodle Bug Designs for a my bride and groom. I do not see there being a lot of bears in my album, but this is just the start.
 

The Bride & Groom title was created in Silhouette Studio
(Font: Adobe Caslon Pro Bold at 55.6 pts)
 

 
 The flowers are Prima Flowers that I sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist
 - Silver Sugar. I also added some peals to the flower petals. I found some silver accent pieces that were on a stem, cut them off and hot glued them to my layout.

 
 I added some pearls to her dress and gave her some "diamond" earrings.
 
 
I finished the layout off by adding a satin ribbon and leaving the tails longer
on purpose and glueing them to the layout so that they stay in position. I added another flower and pearl.

Friends Forever Scrapbook Layout

 
Afternoon ladies!!
 
I have accomplished another layout in my countdown to the end of the year!
This layout was inspired from Pinterest and
I changed it up a bit to make it my own.
 
This is my take on the layout and
at the bottom is the Pinterest layout.
 


I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the title.
I added the circles using my SewEasy, but punched the holes around a 1 /2" circle.
 





ORIGINAL PINTEREST LAYOUT~

~i love you~

 
Good Morning Crafters!
 
I have accomplished one more layout! This is a photo that my FIL took of my daughter.
I am in love with how it turned out. I took a sketch that I found on pinterest, but since I completely changed the sketch I'm not going to bother adding it into my post.
 

 
 I used the new Lowercase Fun Dies from My Creative Time
 to create my title, love these dies!!

Gingerbread Card

 
Good Morning Crafters!!
 
I know that I am supposed to be working on my layouts, but I have this gingerbread sitting on my desk from a previous layout, so I decided to take some time to make a quick card!
 
The file that it's from is "Visting the North Pole" from KaDoodle Bug Designs.
 
 
The red/kraft background is tissue paper that you place in gift bags!!!

KaDoodle Bug Designs - THANKSGIVING CHALLENGE

Good Morning!!! Thanksgiving is right around the corner and it is my turn to host a challenge this week, so I chose TURKEY DAY!!
 
So all you have to do is create something related to Thanksgiving it can be a card, layout, home decor, frame, etc. just make sure you use a KBD file on your project.
 
Once you have completed your project go to our Facebook fan page HERE and post it for your chance to win ANY file of your choice for FREE of course!! Deadline to enter is Thursday, November 22, 2012 @ midnight. 
 
Here is my layout....
I used the "Gobbles-N-Wobbles" file that you can find at www.kadoodlebugdesigns.com
I had a blast making this layout and it brought back all the memories of her helping her daddy baste the turkey and "where do turkey's come from" and "why doesn't he have feathers" and "where is his head"......It was very interesting and my husband did a wonderful job of explaining it all to her.
