Boo Boo Lip

That is what we call this face.  We get it all the time from her.  I layered a bunch of papers (which I inked the edges of using Tim Holtz distress ink) to create this page and just did one simple cut from the Walk in my garden cartridge.  I topped it off with a button center and a short little handwritten jounaling/title.

Dolphin Tour

This page was just a very simple layout without much going on because I wanted to get a lot of pictures on there.  The flowers are from Oriental Trading and have a cute button in the middle.  The strip of paper in the middle is from DCWV Summer Dream stack.  I really love the bright colors against the white paper.  It is beginning to be one of my favorite things to do!

Dinosaur World

I made this page for my daughter's book, but will probably end up making another one for my son's book with different pictures.  I got a new cricut cartridge for Christmas and didn't have time to really use it until this past weekend.  I LOVE it.  It is called Boys Will be Boys, and you will see that I used it on a lot of my pages that I will be posting from this weekend's retreat.  The font and dino on this page were cut using that cartridge and the polka-dot paper in the background is green shiny dots and is soo cute! It is from the Me and My Big Ideas Boy stack (which I also used on almost every page I made this past weekend because it is so cute!). 

Weekend Scrapbooking Retreat

I am lucky enough to be able to spend a weekend twice a year at a scrapbooking retreat with my mom and some good friends.  I felt productive this year as I was able to almost finish my daughter's 2008 photos (I did come home and do the last 2 pages a few nights later!).  Here are the pages I was able to get done:

 

I used Gypsy Font for the title and creative memory circle punches for the circle.  The papers are from the DCWV Christmas Stack

The title is from the Mickey Mouse Font and the papers are from the DCWV Green Stack (LOVE this stack).

I used Prima flowers in the corners with skittle centers.  The birds are cut from paper in the Green Stack.  The little girl die cut is A Child's Year.

Paper here is again from the Green Stack.  Title is cut using the Sesame Street font.  Hand is cut using A Child's Year.

Title is welded together using the Gypsy using the Mickey Font.  Beach scene is cut from A Child's Year.  Paper is from a new stack I just picked up from DCWV Summer Dream Stack.

The title here is Mickey Font again.  The paper is from the Summer Dream stack.  The flower in the corner is a Prima glitter flower.

This is one of my favorites from this weekend.  The paper is from the DCWV Christmas stack and the present is from Doodlecharms. I don't remember exactly, but I believe the title was cut using 2 different fonts off the Lyrical Letters Cartridge.

The paper is again from the Christmas Stack.  The snowflakes are cut from Winter Woodland and then pop dotted.  The title is cut from Lyrical Letters.

Again, Christmas Stack paper and the title is cut from Winter Woodland.  Buttons are glued down in the bottom corner.

The title was make using the Gypsy and mini gel pens.  I replaced the blade in the Cricut with a mini gel pen using a pencil gripper to hold it in place.  Once the lettering was drawn I put the blade back in to cut the circle.  Paper is from the Green Stack.

And my last one using the Green Stack again for the papers.  The middle picture was pop dotted to give dimension.  The title was made using the Zooballoo font.

I am excited to be done with her 2008 pictures.  Now it's time to move on to my son's 2008!

Please?

Another LO from Gatlinburg. I used the DCWV Green stack again with this LO. Mickey Mouse Font was used for the title and Storybook was used for the butterfly. The journaling box edge is a Martha Stewart edge punch.

Wonderworks

This LO sat on my desk for a few weeks while I finished up making baby books, mom's day gifts, and teacher gifts. I used the DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies stack for the patterned paper. Title is made with the Mickey Mouse Font and flowers are Primas.

A Place to call Home

Okay, so I have been MIA for a while. I was in a bit of a crafty funk, or maybe I was just way to busy/exhausted to get anything accomplished. Which ever it was, I finally got something made. Hope you like it!

I wanted to try making these flowers that I saw in the Scrapbooking, Etc. magazine last month. They did a neat article on a few different ways to use your scraps to make different flowers. I really like the looks of this one so I went ahead and tried it out. I like the outcome! I used Lyrical Letters for the title of the page and used my Martha Stewart border punch for the border piece under the picture. The text box is an Autumn Leaves Stampology stamp from a set of journaling stamps. I added some little pearls attached with glue dots to the bottom.

Add Another Candle

This was such a FUN page to create!! I used Lyrical Letters to cut the title of the page, Winter Woodland for the scalloped circles, and A Child's Year for the cupcakes. I used Stickles glitter glue on the frosting of the cupcakes to make them sparkle. I used the VersaMark watermark ink and studio g stamps to create a pattern behind the title. I also added some rub-ons (don't know the brand).

1st Day of Preschool

This was a fun LO to do. I used Mickey Font for the title and Everyday paper dolls for the school bus. The flower is pop dotted to give dimension and is cut from Accent Essentials. Paper is a stack that I adore by My Minds Eye!

Once There was a Snowman

I used Doodlecharm for the snowman and Winter Woodland for the title and other die cuts. You can't really tell by the pictures but I used glitter/stickles to make the title glitter. This page sat on my desk for months before it finally got finished. Not really happy with it, but I am glad it is finally off my desk!

Cloe Mae

Here is a page I made today. I used the Cricut Cartridge Lyrical Letters (Jack Sprat font) to do the title. Various papers and embellishments. Still might play with this one a bit, anyone have any suggestions to what I could add?
