Graduation Kids part 1

For some reason, I decided to cut a bunch of paper dolls. Don't ask me why - it ended up being a lot of work. I cut 12 total. 8 at 3.5" and 4 at 4". I'll post a couple at a time so you don't get overwhelmed. I made the cards really simple and used a lot of my scraps.

This one is for Pause Dream Enjoy's color challenge.

Simply Cute!

Don't you just love when cards just fall into place? That's how this one was. Card Creations & More by C's challenge was to us patterned ribbon and that's where I started.

Another Layout

I did another 2-page layout. That means I reached my goal of doing 6 pages this month! For this one I used The Scrappiest's Sketch #112 as a jumping point. These pages were for my 33wk belly pictures when I was pregnant. They weren't the best pictures but I'll give you a sneak of my adorable belly when I do another set of pictures.

Portland Scrapbook Expo 2011

Here's my loot!!!!!

This is what we got just for being there! I haven't tried it out yet but I have a feeling that this will come in handy when I'm doing invitations

I've missed embossing so I decided to get a new heat gun. Well when I saw this I had to have it! And it was only $5.00!!! (I don't plan on using it that much so I don't care if it's a good quality gun)

I got these 6x6 calendars at the last expo and loved them!

These ATG refills were $7.99 with NO TAX! I know I could probably find them cheaper online but this was cheaper than JoAnns/Michaels


(mini?) bakers twine - it's really thin.

I'm going to make a birthday calendar to keep in my scrapbook area

pearls galore!!!

I'm going to cut some shapes with the cricut for these. I'll make a bunch so I have them on hand when scrapbooking.

Buttons and Pop Dots

Stickles!


I needed new pages and protectors for my Creative Memories albums (I'm still using the old pages). These are, by far, the best albums I've used!

You're Quacktastic!

I've been wanting to make a card with Just Because Cards and I finally did it! It took a little playing with sizes to get the duck to be the size I wanted. The cartridge is made so that all the elements will fit on the card. I could've done the Real Dial Size Button but I wouldn't have been able to do the layers. It took a lot of thinking! :)

After I'd finished this I realized that it qualified for The Paper Variety's Tic Tac Toe Challenge. (Stamped Image or sentiment / Make a card / Use scallops)

After I took this picture, I added Orange Peel Stickles to the bill.

Cricut Cardz had a challenge right now to make a card using ONLY white, pink and green. That seemed pretty easy to me! I just got the Hats Off stamp set from Pink By Design and wanted to try it out so I made a graduation card.
