I heart this face and Smile . . .

For my fourth set of double page layouts I used the paper crimper to add a bit of texture to the faux ribbon strips. I will have to use this technique more often.

I added a large button to the center of the heart and layered the heart onto a chipboard piece. This page was another one that had the instructions for a 12x12 page.

I crimped the border pieced and punched the top and bottom of it border. Smile if from the stickers in the kit.

As usual I created a Design Studio file for the layout, but I have not cut it yet. Click here for the file. Thanks for stopping by.

I lov you . . .

Here is the third set of double page layouts from the Piggy Tales Kit.

I love the polka dot chipboard letters that were included in the kit. This page was one of the ones that came as part of the project list. I just changed it from a 12x12 page to a 11x8.5 page.

I used the same punch on the cardstock to help tie both pages together. The striped paper is from cutting the 12x12 paper down to 8.5x11 and was a perfect accent for page two.

As usual I created a Design Studio File for this layout, I have not cut the file yet so let me know if there are issues. Click here for the file. Thanks for stopping by.

Standing Up

In the Nana's Nursery Baby Girl paper pack is this orange plaid paper. The Baby Girl and Baby Boy paper pack have colors that can be used in the other. I used this paper for both the girl and boy layout and added a sheet of solid card stock for the second page.

I used two different sizes for the photo mats 4 1/2" and 5 1/2". I just love the way the elephants turned out. I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and more to cut the tags and All Mixed Up for the letters. The "UP" is cut at a larger size.

The elephants are cut from the Sunburn paper pack and the face is the solid side of the paper. Since I'm having issues with Design Studio I flipped my paper to have the elephants face the other direction. So I had the solid green face up to cut the elephants body and the striped face up to cut the face out, remember I'm using double sided paper for this.

The blue border is more of the two sided paper. I used a Fiskars punch (another of mom's) to punch one edge and folded over the top. The second pages is just reversed in the way I folded it over.

I thought I needed something behind the elephants and cut a circle. Here's the baby girl pages.

More Baby pages.

Here's a couple more pages I made for the baby boy album. I used my Cricut to cut out the heart's (George cartridge) and the flourishes (Home Accents cartridge) for this page. The papers for both layouts are from Me&My Big Ideas and Sunblock and cardstock.. I also used my cuttlebug to emboss the hearts and placed them on pop up dots.

I also used my Cricut to cut out the circle and lettering for this page. The journaling around the circle is another poem and reads: Precious one, So Small So Sweet Dancing in on angel feet Straight from Heaven's brightest star What a miracle you are!

Apple Box

Edited to add: I will add the cut file after the swap closes which will be Oct 21st.



On the Cricut boards there is a Treat Box/Bag/Basket Swap going on. I made an apple for cider and will be adding it to my "Boo" Baskets. It will hold 3 Apple Cider packets.

I used the following cartridges: George, Doodlecharms and All mixed up. As you can see you have the option of cutting the cider out or not.
