A birthday gift idea

I almost put in the title ........for a child. That is soooo not true! This gift idea would be awesome for any Disney fanatic! Change the contents to customize it and it becomes really personal and perfect for the recipient.
My friends' daughter turned 10 today so I made up a gift basket for her,from our kids. They are crazy for Disney so hopefully she likes it.
I used my Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cart from the Cricut. Inside is purchased goodies from Michaels to decorate her own keepsake box. Things like glitter glue tubes and coordinating gems are in the tall yellow Inchbag. I pressed fit to page on the Expressions so it cut it out to be fairly large(used a 12x12 sheet). I cannot remember the size now sorry. The small blue Gift Bag is filled with ribbon spools for her to use as well. The tiny yellow Squarebox is filled with flowers and brads. Tucked behind the box lid are Disney sheets to use to decoupage the box with and stickers to embellish it all.

Happy 10th birthday Grace!!!!

Easter Eggs

How funny is this bunny?
He has a chunk missing from his ear?! I should have made a card that said....what? Maybe I will!

The basket is a die cut from the Sizzix,the bunny is from the Easter cart for the Cricut,the eggs were stamped from Easter Egg set by CTMH and then I glittered them up with MS glitter! My favorite : )
Can you see the grass tucked away behind the bunny? Can you guess what it is?
I used a minty green flower,cut in half and stacked on itself. It looks so cute and it already has texture. Just slice down each petal a bit more to look like blades of grass.

Wedding layout

I think this could be a nice layout to put in a shadow box for a newly married couple. There is a card incorporated on the layout for them to write a note to each other or maybe place her six pence in there for safe keeping?! I kept it completely black and white except the bell top cover is cream. Just for dimension or added detail. I tried to get better pics but the sun was so bright I kept getting tons of shadows. Hope you can see the details ok.

Baby Bonnet

I felt in the mood to create something light and soft today so I came up with this "Baby" bonnet page. I couldn't wait to use my Heritage cart so the first cut was the bonnet on this layout.
I used DCWV Nana's Baby Girl Nursery stack to cut the title out and a layer on the frame. It has a double frame and can hold a 5x7 photo.

Attached is eyelet trim to frame the face. I also stitched a smocking design in the middle, can you see it?
I think it would be perfect for a shadow box in a nursery.

What do you think? Please leave a comment if you visit, it makes my day!

Happy March everyone!

Spring is right around the corner now : )

I created a light, airy butterfly card for spring. It is keeping me focused on warmer weather and budding flowers.

Thanks for visiting!

Another Happy Easter & Rain,rain go away!

I am so happy I was able to create 2 more cards today. Sometimes I just don't get the opportunity and inspiration at the same time!

Today was a continuation using the Easter cartridge. I used the patterned transparency sheets again for the umbrella. The slick look kinda goes with the rain theme don't ya think? How awesome are those metal rain drops? I know! I found those at Joann Fabrics over 2 yrs ago. I am so happy I still had them in my stash.

The old Sizzix found its way out today. I had to dust it off a bit to cut out a beach umbrella repurposed as a rain umbrella! Momma and her chickadee are out for a wet stroll in their Sunday best! They are embossed with swiss dots. I covered their pretty pink bows with ultra fine MS glitter. The font I used was from Lettering delights, it's called "Vanilla". I like the bouncy rounded slick look.

The jumping bunny was embossed with the mini hearts folder. His bow is also covered with MS glitter. The sentiment Happy Easter was stamped with CTMH set Seasonal Celebrations. Tiny in scale, perfect for what I needed. I just love the mini pearl details. Not too much fuss going on.

It reminds me of a new baby card. The purity of gingham and pearls always does when combined with a touch of eyelet.

Hope I inspired you today!

Easter Cards

Well, I think I got a jump start on Easter cards this year. I just loooove bunnies!
I could make them all year and never tire of them.

I couldn't wait to get the Easter cartridge so I could play.

The very first cut I made with it was the pillow box. Oh my gosh! I could have screamed! I love this. I was going to slip in a piece of patterned paper and call it a day but then I had this idea come to me! Use the Doodlebug Design inc. crushed velvet flock to cover his little body!!!! Ohhh I love how he came out. It feels awesome too. The package set I bought from Hobby Lobby came as a variety set with these teeny tiny bottles. I thought to myself this is going to use my whole bottle of chocolate up on one rabbit. So what it'll be worth it. Can I just tell you that this stuff goes a looong way. I should have really taken a picture of the bottle now to show how little of it is actually missing. I am so happy because the set was not cheap. I did in fact use my 40% coupon though!

Moving on....

Happy Easter is cut from transarency overlays. I do not know what I am going to do when this pad runs out. I love this but I don't think she makes it anymore. Dena's Closet by Colorbok. Such a pretty slab to own. Have you ever heard of her? Dena Designs. She used to be on DIY hosting a show called Embellish This! I liked it but I guess it didn't make it in the DIY world long.

The eggs and crosses are also cut from this slab.

The baby bunny favor box was a pre-cut box. I bought the embossed paper box pad at AC Moore. K& Co puts it out. Ohh! I love these. There are 3 designs to work with and they all have embellishments to go with each design. 24 sheets ,embossed, die-cut boxes with 3 different embossed patterns Just punch,fold,layer and glue! Perfect for quick teacher gifts,secretaries at school or friends. They are the right size too to fill up with chocolate eggs or jelly beans. Yumm!

Have a good day!

Think Spring!
