7Oth Birthday

I had a few minutes the other day and was playing in Design Studio trying to get a layout designed for Birthday Layout and this is what I came up with. 

When I use Design Studio I use George and the Basic Shapes for my photo and any Basic Shape, I normally do not cut them out like for the photo mats or accent papers.  I did use it to cut out my circle shape.

The party was at Fort Snelling's Officer Club so I knew I wanted to use some red white and blue on my layout and the Stand and Salute Cartridge is perfect for this type of layout.  For the Chickadee I cut him out once out of black, white and grey then cut my pieces and layered everything onto the black bird.

Then I added a few punched stars to the corner, the white ones are from the inside of the circle flag.  I lost my first one and had to recut.

Thanks for stopping by.

Icons for Work

My Creative Classroom is hosting a free workshop this year called My Creative Life 2014 and the My Creative Life 2014 blog.  So the first topic is electronic die cutting machines.

I needed to make some icons for everyone at work and this is I came up with.

I asked everyone what they wanted to represent them and this is how it turned out. 
Top to Bottom are: A Skate and Soccer ball, Scuba Mask, Yarn and Crochet Hook, Golf  ball, Kittens and a Horse.  I have them pop dotted onto a sheet protector.

Thanks for stopping by.
