Halloween Layout





I hate taking photos of my pages because they never seem to look as good but at least this way I can share them. The smaller paper sections in the backgound are 5 x 12 with ribbon to separate them. The letters for halloween are cut out using alphalicious set at size 2 and then shadowed with the black paper. The name tags are cut using the tags bags boxes and more cartridges at size 1/2". The stamps are from michaels dollar section and they are colored using martha stewart pens from walmart. Hope you enjoy!

52 Sketches 52 weeks Entry

This was my entry for the 52 sketches 52 weeks. The goal is to use the sketch as inspiration to create your own page. This is week #33 layout done with my wedding party photo.


To make this layout I used the background to the number 5 on the celebrations cricut cartridge at 81/2 for the white then 8 for the blue. The shadow for the number 1 at size 5 was used for the 4 strips. I then matted my photo with a pink paper. The title is made using the cricut alphalicious font at size 1 3/4 and then it is separated from the pink paper with pop dots. Hope you enjoy

Fall Card


So I made a video to show you all how to make this super cute card and the file will not open so I don't know what I did but I will just tell you how to make this card. First the supplies you will need are:
Green Card Stock cut to 11" x 41/2"
Brown layer 5" x 4"
Cricut doodle charms cartridge
White card stock
-- I use the free ones that come in pages of books you buy
Leaf stamp
-- I used one that I got out of a dollar bin at Michael's
Ink for stamp
Marker to color in stamp
-- It is a card and does not have to last forever so I used a Sharpe because I did not have a good color in my creative memories pens
Ribbon in wide green and narrow brown
-- I got mine out of a scrap bag at Joann's fabric for like $2 for 12 1yard pieces
Fold green card stock in half. Then apply ribbon around brown overlay with scotch tape on back to hold it in place then glue to the green base. Now on cricut cut out a white circle by using the blackout feature of the foundation tag and then the shadow feature on the green card stock scraps for a shadow. Now stamp your leaf and color in. Attach the decale with pop dots for added effect and stamp the same leaf inside your card for added feature. Enjoy!

This video is my entry for the pink stampers challenge to make something you love I was caught between decorating a picture frame or making a card. I decided becuase I did not have a frame around I would do a card because I love to keep in contact with my college friends that all live across the country so I will be sending a lot of cards.

In this video I show you my card and how to make a bow. The supplies you would need to create a like card are listed below. Good luck and thanks for watching:)

5 x 12 blue cardstock for card base

41/2 x 51/2 pink textured paper for overlay

2 x 2 white cardstock for stamping on (or embelishment os choice)

A stamp & ink (I use a butterfly that I got in a dollar bin at micheals)

Ribbon

Zots Glue dots


So this is just a simple layout that I made recently just trying to finish my college scrapbook but the pink stamper is having a contest and this a school layout that she she was looking for so I figured I would post it. I have been crazy with work but I am going to try and create some videos so I can add hopefully two videos a week. That is my goal.

This layout is simply a 12 x 12 piece of green card stock with a 81/2 x 81/2 layer. I simply added my pictures and some stickers. It is simple page because I had a lot of pictures but only wanted one page so I limited the details so I could show more photos.
