8 Month Layout

Another layout done! This one I actually know which carts I used but not 100% as to what sizes! For the hearts I used Sweethearts cart. For the 8 months I used storybook with the shadow feature as well. Of course there is some stickles on the letters for good measure! LOVE was chipboard stickers that I have had forever. Prima flowers with cute buttons complete the page! I love how this book is really coming together!!!

Journal Tags

I'm participating in a mini swap I'll call it with some of the girls from my GIBBS swap. We decide monthly if we want to participate and then put in requests for things we want sent to us. My partner asked for Journaling tags and I got a bit carried away but hey! You can never have too many right?

In the top photo all the images I cut were from Boys Will Be Boys. I can't remember how big I cut them at. I free hand cut the journal paper on the space ship and the boat. I used my creative memories circle cutter for the baseball hat. I stickled the spaceship and the flag on the sail boat. I used my white jelly pen to free hand "stitch" the baseball hat.

I used a bunch of different carts for the rest of the tags including Storybook, TBBM, Preserves. I cut the majority out at 4 inches. I inked most of them both on the journal paper and the tags themselves. I hope my partner likes what she got. (Stay tuned for my next post to see what else I made her!)

Paper Bag Album

These are the insert tags I did. There are two of each of them.

(Sorry I put these in the wrong order. I need to pay better attention but not tonight.)

I made my very first paper bag album for my friend Rosie. I did it for her dog Willie. I used a bunch of different cricut cuts, inked it, and put a bunch of dog qoutes in it. I really think I will make more of these albums. So fun to make!

Happy Birthday Banner

Whole banner hanging in the tent

My friend's daughter is turning 1 in two weeks. I offered to make her a banner. She is having the party at an ice cream shop. The main colors are chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. I cut the vanilla scallops from the mini monogram cart at 5.5 inches and the strawberry and chocolate scallops at 5 inches. I used Storybook for the letters at 3.5 inches (I believe) using polka dot paper that had all 3 colors plus a few others. The 1 with the flame is from Sweet treats as are all of the other cut images except for the soda which is from From my kitchen. I used a lot of stickles. I then used eyelets on the sides and put the cutest ribbon between the scallops to connect them. I will hopefully have a better picture of the whole thing once its up for the party.
