Pucker Up!

I love the lips that can be found in the Indie Art cartridge which is only accessible to those that have obtained the free gypsy downloads. The lips were cut at 3.82'. I blinged up this card with Tourmaline Martha Stewart Glitter which I ran through my Xyron to adhere the glitter to.  Great tip if you don't want to use wet glue.


Paper is from K & Company and the stamp set is from the new Pink By Design Be Mine Stamp Set.

United

Hello bloggy friends!

Today I am posting a layout of my recent wedding, I am not sure that it is my favorite.  Maybe it's missing something or the top picture is out of place, something.  Sooner or later I will figure it out!  Although I am happy to announce that the tag on this layout is one of my first!  I am pleased with the way it turned out but I must confess I did get some help from good old Tim Holtz!
Would be great to hear what you think!



Stampin Up Cardstock, PP and punch was used.  The tag was cut from tags bags and boxes at 4.53' using my gypsy.  The title was cut at 2.18' from gypsy wanderings.  I used Tim Holtz grungeboard for the heart, wings and inks, recollections flower and lace, twine and the key is one from my stash and I tried alcohol ink on it and I think it failed!  Must watch more tutorials on that!

Countdown to Valentines Day!

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had an awesome weekend!  My day did not start off the greatest to I am thankfull it is the end of the day!

This week I will be showcasing projects that are related to the upcoming Valentines Day and I can't wait to share them with you!

My first project is a card that I made for my dear nephew.  I think he will get a real kick out of receiving his very own mail, he just recently moved away from us.


I used the famous Create a Critter Cartridge which the squirrel was cut at 2.61 using my gypsy. My card base was welded together at 7.35'.  I embossed the top portion of the nut with my swiss embossing folder.  I mounted the squirrel on a wobble.  I used my white gel pen for some extra doodling and stiching around the nut.  I used the new stamp set by Pink By Design Be Mine on the exterior of the card and on the interior I also used the new stamp set by My Creative Time with Emma You Had Me At Chocolate.  To finish it off I used some yummy twine!  I think this has got to be one of my most favorite cards!

Monster Inc.

I absolutely love this layout, I love the colors, I love the use of the new cricut cartridge Best of Pixar and I love that once again I was able to use a fabulous sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches.  My son had the opportunity to go to Disney with his Aunt and family and although I wasn't able to go I was able to get my hands on all the gorgeous pictures that were taken, so don't be surprised if you see tons of disney layouts! I would love to hear what you think.

The Sketch:


My layout:



I used the Birthday Bash and Best of Pixar cricut cartridges, twine in luscious purple, martha stewart punch, my IRock and rhinestones, SU cardstock and the PP is from my stash!  Wishing you all a fab weekend!

Super SImple

Well I hope all my American friends are not completely snowed out and are staying warm!  It's always cold here is Canada were I live so I guess I am use to it.  Temperatures last week were in the -40 with the wind chill, can you say COLD!

Anywho today's card is so super simple, quick, fast and easy and we must not forget CUTE!  Perfect for that Valentine!

Carrdstock, pattered paper, punch and ribbon are from stampin up.  The stamp sentiment is from the new stamp release of Creative Time with Emma called You Had Me At Chocolate.

MY VERY FIRST MINI ALBUM!!

I am so excited to be able to show you my very first try at a mini chipboard album.  My girlfriend had her third baby in December and it was a GIRL!!  It's not as many pages as most of the minis I have seen but a great start in my opinion!  Would love to hear what you think.  There are so many inspirational minis out there to help the beginners out!
