A Peek at Christmas!

So I have been trying to dig my way out of the Christmas presents.  I have really enjoyed making these gifts this year!!  Since I can't show off everything I have done so far (I don't want to ruin the surprise!) I am going to wait until after Christmas to post most of my projects, but I do have 2 different projects I can share.   I will be giving these to my kids!


The first is a bag I made for them to carry books/coloring books for in the car and when we go to church.

The second is a car caddy I made for my little guy.  I am really happy with how this came out!




I did use my Cricut on this project.  I cut out the numbers 1-6 on freezer paper and ironed it on to the fabric to make a template to paint the numbers on. 

I'll be back soon with some more projects!

Jammin'

I LOVE how this page came out.  I really like the simplicity of it.  I used my new Boy stack papers and cut the title from sesame street font.  The stars were cut from George.


Food!

I have used this LO before for a page I made in my daughter's book.  I really the way it came out using these pictures as well.  The title was cut using Plantin Schoolbook and the paper is from the Green Stack.  I finished it off with some new buttons I got from Oriental Trading.

Bumpa's Little Helper

This page was done using the DCWV Summer Dream Stack.  I cut the hammer with the Every Day Paper Dolls cartridge and the title with Sesame Street.  The strip of paper on the left was punched with a Martha Stewart Border Punch.  I finished the page off with fake stitching around the edges.


Sleepy

This page was a complete experiment!!  I saw a page done like this a long time ago and I have been wanting to try it out.  So I finally had the right pictures to attempt it and I think I like the outcome.  What do you think?


I used Sesame Street Font to cut the letters out at 4 inches and then placed them on the pictures to decides where to crop.  I traced the letters on the pictures and hand cut them out.  I used ink to ink around the papers (which are all from the green stack by DCWV) and stitched around the letters to make them pop out.



It's Beginning to Look a lot like Halloween!



I had a lot of fun making this page.  I found the Halloween paper at the Target $ spot.  I thought it was too cute to pass up!  I used Jack Sprat Lyrical Letters for the title along with some stickers I have had forever.  The ribbon I believe I got at the target $ spot a while back also.  I used my cuttlebug to cut and emboss the spider and bats on the right hand page.


Funny Boy




Here is an updated version of my Funny Boy LO.  I wasn't feeling as though it was finished before, so I played around with it a little more.  I decided to add stitching to some of the circles and added one more circle to fill in the emptiness on the right hand side.
