Ho Ho Ho Bag

Ho Ho Ho Bag

I love this bag. I do not normally do much with snowflakes since we do not have snow in Florida. The snowflake came from the Silhouette. I used the offset button in order to have a background for the "O". The bag is a craft bag from Michael's.

Santa Tag and Bags

Santa Tags and Bags

Santa tag came from the Silhouette. I cut it at 3". The Santa head is pop dotted. Santa's beard is Stickled. 

The bag is a craft colored bag from Michaels. The white border is cut at 3" and a Martha Stewart punch is used to give added touchs. The black stripe is cut at 2.5". The gold belt is cut at 3" also. The Santa suit is free cut.

Christmas Tags and Bags

Tags and Bags for Christmas

Love this tag from the Silhouette Store. The Merry Christmas is a stamp with red stickles. I also stickled the snowflakes and added a green gem on the time. 

A simple craft bag purchased from Michaels. The red and green borders are a Martha Stewart punch. Rafta makes the bow. 

Christmas Trees and Candy Canes

Christmas Trees and Candy Canes

Christmas is my second favorite time of the year! This layout was made for a book that my scrapbooking group is giving to a family in need at Christmas time. 

I used the Creative Memories cutting system. The large wavy circle is one of my favorites. 

The Christmas trees and holly were cut from the Silhouette and the presents where cut from the Cricut. 

Love the candy canes! The holly berries and candy canes are cut from the Silhouette. I used Stickles on the candy canes, holy berries and Christmas oraments. 

Snow Flakes are Kisses from God- Subway Art

Snow Flakes are Kisses from God. 

Subway Art

I was challenged to make something that included Subway Art. After trying to figure out what subway art was, I found out that it was a variety of fonts used in a single item. 

I purchased the snow flake at Dollar Tree. At the time, I did not know what I was going to do with it since I am not a fan of snow flakes. I live in Florida and we do not have snow here! I also purchased the greenery from there also a few years ago. 

I love the poinsettias that I cut from the vellum with my Silhouette Cameo. Each petal has been glittered with Viva Glitter Liner "Holo Indescent" and Stickles "True Blue". I love the small touches where I used "Zing" in Blue Ice yarn. 

Forever

Forever

 

 

I have several Martha Stewart punches. I do not know why I don't use them as much as I should! I inked the border with Quick Quote inks. Pop dots give just the right mix of flush and raised elements.

Atlanta Falcons

Go Falcons!

 

 

 

I am loving my Silhouette. The Atlanta Falcons helmet was cut from the Silhouette. Using the designer studio in the Silhouette, the helmet came out just as I wanted it to.  My scrap group made an album for the little boy's parents in the pictures. They are huge Falcon fans. It hurt to make Falcons! LOL Go Cowboys! LOL

4th of July

The 4th made for the stars. 

Large star burst was cut from my Silhouette. Love the look of the inked stars. Pop dots create the look of the stars bursting from the page. 

When I seen the bears on the Silhouette, I knew that I had to create them! The boy bear is cut at 3.5 inches and the girl bear is cut at 3". The stars on the side of the page are from the inside the cut out of the large star burst on the opposite of the page.  Love using "scraps"! 

Fall

Fall

My scrapbooking group does a challenge called "Ugly Paper". The idea behind this is someone brings in paper that they just do not know what to do with. They place the paper in a bag and we exchange bags. You never know what you might receive in your bag. This concept challenges your mind and scrap skills! This months "ugly paper" was for us to use nothing but scrap paper. You know that you have a bin sitting close by that you throw all of your scraps that you are "going to use later!" but never do. We were only allowed to use the paper found in the scrap bin except the two sheets of solid colored card stock used on the back ground. 

My bag this time had the yellowish gold card stock. At first, I was a little afraid of the color but then it was my turn at the scrap bin and I seen all the fall colored paper that was in it. Jack Pot! 

All of the die cuts are from my Silhouette. When I purchased the tree, I honestly did not know what I was going to do with it since we rarely have four seasons here in Florida! We make our own seasons. Small flourishes and tiny flowers are an added touch. As normal, I inked the edges of the die cuts. I used a small orange pin to make the pumpkin lines. 

Welcome Baby Book

Welcome Baby Book! 

I found a wonderful paper pack for baby boy's at Hobby Lobby. The paper pack included the tags that you will see blow.  Even with the paper pack, I had to include cuts from my Silhouette. How did I ever live without this machine?!!?!?! 

Love! Love! Love the baby gator! A rhinestone for his eye to give him just a hint of something special. Of course he is inked around his edges. The gator was cut from my Silhouette at 6" long. 

I love fuzzy cutting. The space ships are fuzzy cuts from a collage of ships and then pop dotted to give dimension. 

The Boy sign is cut at 2" from the Silhouette and I used the small stars at the bottom of the page from the middle of the cloud. 

The owl is cut from my Silhouette at 3". The inking around him is from Quick Quotes Inks. 

A touch of glitter goes a long way. The flowers and board are cut from glitter paper. 

The glitter paper circles on this page was just the right about of sparkle. I cut the circle as a board and then cut them to fit the page. 

I am not normally a fan of flowers on boy pages but I loved the color of blue flowers that I had. Each flower has a center that is a brad. 

The Jackson was cut from my Silhouette. I love the welding feature! The Jackson is one piece. The small diaper pins are actually brads. 

Best thing about cutting shapes from my Silhouette is that I can pick and choose my colors. I would never have found a "binkie" in the colors to match my blanket background paper. The Binkie is also inked around the edges and pop dotted. 

The small baby feet cut from golden rod color paper came from my Silhouette also. They are pop dotted to had dimensions. 

The giant safety pin was cut by the Silhouette. Five inches tall! I am super glad that I did not have to change that babies diaper! 

I love mixing and matching cuts from the Silhouette. And of course, the All boy is from a font on my computer welded together. 

Bling! Even boys need some bling!.

Love the saying on this page. Life is so much sweeter when babies are around. 

Baby Boy and the shadow was cut on my Silhouette. I love the off set feature! It is nice to be able to make a background for the words with just one click. 

Beautiful ribbon added a special touch on the top and bottom of this page.

Another font cut from my computer on the Silhouette. 

How cute are the trees? So many trees on the Silhouette, it was hard to pick the set that I wanted to use. The edges are inked and the center tree is pop dotted. 

Balloons, balloons everywhere! The word baby is pop dotted and the 4.25x 6.25 photo map is inked. 

Welcome Baby Boy

This is an 8x8 album that I created for a co-worker that is having a baby Boy.  The flowers are from Primo and brads.

Super Dad Card

Super Dad card cut from the Father's Day Cricut "seasonal cartridge" and cut at 2.5". The red, white and blue stars are cut from Creative Memories largest star punch. The small blue stars are from the EK Success star border punch. The shield is inked.

Father's Day Card

My wonderful group of ladies made cards for the Ronald McDonald House for the kids to give their father's on Father's Day.  I have no clue why my card looks cut on the top! I will have take a better picture.  I used the standard card and cut the Happy Father's Day at 3.5 inches from the Father's Day Cricut Cartridge.

Woof! Happy Bday Card

 

 

 

This card was made for a friend's birthday. She loves dogs.  I cut the dog and fire hydrant out of the Silhouette Cameo. The dog and fire hydrant are cut out at 3.5" high. The edges are inked with Color Box inks. A white gel pen always adds just the write touch.

The inside of the card had to be decorated also! The bone is cut at 3.5" and inked around the edges. The font is "OogieBoggie" cut out at 1" from my font files.

Happy Birthday Susan!
