Puppy Surgery


I am really trying to catch up on my dog's scrapbook. I know it's weird that I've created a scrapbook dedicated to my dog, but she is my baby. I couldn't imagine life without her. This page is from when she had to get spayed a few years ago. Poor little thing had to wear a cone for 2 weeks, but she was such a trooper through all of it. I used the Don Juan cartridge to cut out the font, and used my Cuttlebug to emboss the shadows on the pictures using the tiny dots folder. The flower embellishments are random chipboard flowers I had laying around. I thought this came out pretty well. I did not put a lot of stuff towards the top of the page because I felt the bottom had enough going on already. The paper has some glitter to it which gives it a little bling.

Composition Books



Well school is getting back in session, so I decided to customize a few notebooks for my younger siblings and a few friends. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of all of them before I gave them to their new owners, but they all came out SOOOO cute and are very loved. I used Create A Critter to cut the little animals for each notebook. I covered them using coordinating paper that I had laying around. Sorry, I do not know which stack they came from... I just wanted to use up some of the paper I had laying around. I hope you enjoy these. They were a lot of fun to make.

Cupcake Toppers


I am so in love with my Mickey and Friends cart! I just love the die cut of Mickey's pants, and decided to use it to make some cute cupcake toppers. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, but I just couldn't resist making them. I will be working on matching invitation tags later this afternoon, and will post them when they are complete. Enjoy!

Notebooks




It's been awhile since I last posted. I have been pretty busy with job interviews and all sorts of random stuff this week. This week also brought the delivery of my Bind It All system which I excitedly used to create a few small notebooks. Here are just a few pics of what I made. The Mickey notebook was cut using the Mickey and Friends cart, and the Snail was cut using the Paisley cart. The other one was decorated using chipboard cutouts I got at Target for fifty cents! Anyways, enjoy! More to come....

Tea Party



I went to Michael's a few days ago and was able to get a really cute stack of DVWV paper that had a lot of stitch patterned paper with birds, tea cups, and sewing themes. The best part was that the stack only cost $5! What a steal. So I decided to use it for my first attempt and this type of folded card. I think it came out really well. I just love the colors of the paper! :-)

Dinosaur Notebook


I was looking through a few blogs by fellow crafters and saw the cutest idea for making notebooks. I don't have a binding machine, but the ribbon is holding it together pretty well. All I used was unlined index cards inside and designer cardstock for the front and back covers. The dinosaur was cut from EDPD at 3" (I think!) and adhered to the front cover using snail adhesive. I just may invest in a cool binding machine, or at least find another method for binding. Anyways, enjoy!

Blanket


Here is the first completed blanket I've made. It came out very well considering I hadn't taken on a project like this before. I gave it to my mom for her birthday and she loved it. Hoping to make a few more. :-)
