Red, White & Blue Layout

Hey there!

Ugh!  One look at the floors in my house will tell you we're definitely in the "mud season!"  Oh my!  What a mess two dogs can create with their little footie prints!!  I'm not in a hurry to wash the floors... just to have them muddied again shortly after!  Ugh!

But... on the plus side... I will take all the MUD instead of SNOW!

In the middle of creating cards today... I also completed a layout!

This one was submitted at Soul Scrappers for their Cooking Up A List Layout Challenge (CUCC27).  You can see the info here.  You have until Apr 17 to play along!

The challenge is to choose 3 or more from the listing blow to create your page:

1. Add a list

2. Add bling

3. Have a music theme

4. Add one small photo

5. No handwritten journaling

6. Add some ovals

7. Add stickers

8. Add a mixed alpha title

9. Use a corner rounder

10. Double mount

Here's my layout titled, "Aim High."

I couldn't resist another red, white and blue layout... because this photo was taken after Andrew's graduation from Basic Training!  Love this photo!

I used the following from the list above:

1. Bling

2. Ovals

3. Stickers

4. Double mount

Supplies used:

Paper: The Paper Studio

3D Embellies: K&Co.

3D Circle: Reminisce

Banner: K&Co.

Ribbon

Flag Oval Die Cut

Gems/Bling: Home Made

Sketch: Page Maps (Sept 2010)

Glitter gems were added between the banners.

Lots of ovals here!  The top oval is a die cut from my stash.  The other ovals were cut from pp, highlighting certain words and then matted.  The 3D stars add a little dimension.

A trio of embellies were added below the photo.  The circle is my sticker.

Another look at the banner.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Pastels Easter Card

Hi!

Back again with another Easter card to share that was submitted at Soul Scrappers for their Using Up Stash Challenge (UUS3).  You can see the info here.

Simply use 10+ buttons on your project.

I chose to make a card with lots of flowers and pastels.

This card came together rather quickly because of punches!  The part that took me the longest is threading the embroidery thread through each button!

I used 12 buttons on my card.

Supplies used:

Paper: Deja Views, Colorbok

Flower Punches

Circle Punch

Buttons

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Pop Dots

Embroidery Floss

Glittery Bunny Sticker

 

The white flower was embossed and adhered with pop dots.  A bow was added on the bunny sticker.

Here's a closer look.  The circles and flowers were punched.  I used an embossing tool to press around the inner edges of the flowers so the petals would create some dimension.  The embroidery floss was knotted under each button and the ends cut just enough so they peek out from the sides.

I hope you enjoyed my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Easter Bunny Card

Hello!

Here's a totally 3D card!  I used LOTS of pop dots!

This cute card was submitted at Sketches 4 All for Rachelle's All About Flowers Challenge (MAYFLOWERS).  You can see all the info here.

Ta da!!

I have several of these cute tissue-like Easter egg sheets in my stash... and dug them out to do something with them.  It took me awhile to figure out what I would do with them.

I started by tracing the tissue paper egg onto the pp and cut it out.  Two layers of the cardstock were cut and pop dots were added between the layers... with the tissue paper as the background. 

Here's a better look at the dimension.  These 3D embellies are the cutest!

I hope you enjoyed my card!
