Happy Easter! ... tweet, tweet

Hello friends!

Happy Easter!

Today I'm sharing a cute birdie card that I created for a ScrapMuch? Card Class!

This card is pretty simple!  I used the twine to tie around the card (no adhesive) and used some birdie stickers and some pop dots to anchor and add some "weight" to the twine --- this way it actually looks like the birds might be sitting on the wire!!

Thanks for checking in!

Thank You (with a cool fold card)

Hello friends!

Today I'm sharing a really cool and fun folding card that I created for a ScrapMuch? Card Class!

I used a simple brad and thank you pennant to adorn the front of this card.  I had to make sure that there wasn't anything too bulky on the front that would prevent the card from easily folding!

I then designed the "inside" so that there would be an easy spot to write the message ... but still enough fun and patterns so that you want to sit this card up to display it!

A few pop dots behind the different pieces can turn some stickers and paper pieces into a fun dimensional card!

Easter Egg Hunt!

Hello there!

I'm at the ScrapMuch? retreat today ... so I thought I'd share a simple but fun Easter layout that I designed for one of the classes this weekend ...

This is a great way to use up your patterned paper scraps!

I kept the photos fun and "scattered" --- this is a great way to make your photos work when they aren't of the best quality!

Thanks for checking in today!

Tulips!

Hello there!

I'm at the ScrapMuch? retreat today ... so I thought I'd share a lovely gift bag that I designed for one of the classes this weekend ...

I kept the tag white ... this way the bag could be personalized (depending on the gift-giving occasion :)

I used the same colour ink as the tulips to edge the flowers ... this gives a fun added effect!

I used lots of pop dots to add dimension and create a 3-D effect ... I love how "life-like" the tulips are!

Thanks for checking in!

Bunnies!

Hi friends!

 

Today I'm sharing a layout that I created for the album that I am planning to give away eventually ...

 

 

I used a combo of brads and wooden cameras to add a little bit of embellishment.

 

 

This simple pennant was used to add that little bit extra :)

 

 

I used my silhouette to cut out the chevron background pattern and the title!

MME: A Moment to Cherish ...with die-cuts

Hello friends,

 

Today I'm sharing a layout that I created recently using the My Mind's Eye Nostalgia paper-pack.  I am creating this layout for a gift album that I am going to be giving to my sister (shhhh, don't tell ...)

 

I created this layout with the My Mind's Eye march challenge in mind ... a challenge to use the die-cuts that come with a paper pack!  Well ... let me tell you ... this is the easiest challenge for me, because I just LOVE using the die-cuts... for cards, layouts, mini-albums etc!

 

Here is the layout that I created!

 

 

As you can see ... I used a few die-cuts for the perfect journalling spot!  (Obviously to be filled in after the pictures are added :)

 

 

Another couple of die-cuts (and matching brads) ... the perfect sport for a date or sub-title.

 

 

I even used the paper-pack packaging to create my title!  I ran the packaging through the silhouette and cut out the title ---- If you look closely, you can see that I used a journalling pen to "doodle" on the letters to outline them and make them a bit more defined!
