PLAYFUL

THE BOBUNNY GABRIELLE LINE WORKED FOR MY SUMMER "PLAYFUL" LAYOUT.  I HANDCUT THE LARGE BUTTERFLY & STICKLED IT.

I BORROWED THE IDEA OF SPLITTING UP  A SINGLE WORD TITLE.  YOU SEE THAT A LOT NOW IN LAYOUTS.

THE JOURNAL CARD WAS PRETTY, BUT I DECIDED TO ADD THE FLOWER FROM A K&CO PAPER.  I COMBINED THAT WITH A STARBURST PUNCH, A GEM & STICKLES. THE LETTERS ARE FOAM THICKERS.

NEW APRONS

I DID SOME PAPER BLOCKING & SEWING ON THIS LAYOUT.  IT WAS A BLAST TO USE ALL THE PETITE PAPERS FROM WEBSTER'S PAGES.  I JUST USED A SQUARE PUNCH, THEN TAPED THEM ON.  USING A STRAIGHT STITCH ON MY SEWING MACHINE, I FOLLOWED THE ROW EDGES.

THE BACKGROUND CARDSTOCK IS TULIP COLOR FROM CLOSE TO MY HEART.  IT'S A NICE RICH RED WITH A PINK TONE.

THE TITLE WAS CREATED WITH JENNI BOWLIN'S CIRCLES AS A BACKGROUND.  COSMO CRICKET MAKES THE CHIPBOARD LETTERS.  THEY FIT NICELY ON THE EDGE OF A DIE CUT PETITE SHEET.

THE FINISHED RESULT WAS A MEANINGFUL PAGE.  I GOT TO CAPTURE THE MEMORY OF OUR MOM GIVING US APRONS FOR CHRISTMAS.

PARTNERS

MY OLDEST HAS SHOT HIS BOW FOR TWO YEARS NOW FOR WINTER ARCHERY LEAGUE.  THIS WAS IDEAL FOR USING THE KRAFT PAPER BACKGROUND.

JENNI BOWLIN MAKES THE CICLE LABELS, THAT IS ONE PURCHASE I AM SO HAPPY I MADE!  YOU'LL SEE IT IN THE FUTURE ON LAYOUTS, NO DOUBT. 

THE MAGIC MESH IS OLD SCHOOL, BUT SEEMS TO HAVE MADE A REVIVAL!  I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED IT.

THE RED VINYL LETTERS ARE THICKERS & THE CIRCLES ARE PUNCHED FROM CTMH PAPER.  I CREATED THE ARROW FROM SCRATCH.

THANKS FOR LOOKING. 

PRAIRIE HUNTER

ON OUR TRIP TO YELLOWSTONE, MY SON & HIS 2ND COUSIN TOOK TIME AT OUR RENTAL HOUSE TO HUNT PRAIRIE DOGS.  THEY USED TOY SUCTION CUP BOWS, BUT WERE ALWAYS TOO SLOW.  THOSE DOGS STAYED IN THEIR TUNNELS & TAUNTED THE BOYS UNTIL FRUSTRATION SET IN.

THIS PAPER WAS FROM THE ECO-STACK.  I HAND CUT SOME ELEMENTS TO USE AS EMBELLISHMENTS.  THE VINTAGE GREEN FABRIC BUTTON MADE A STELLAR FLOWER CENTER!

THE LARGE LETTERS WERE RUN THROUGH A PAPER CRIMPER!  THEY WERE CUT ON THE CRICUT WITH OPPOSITES ATTRACT.

EASTER TREATS

I MADE SOME MERINGUE COOKIES FOR THE GIRLS AT CHURCH THAT I TEACH.

USING THE JASMINE CARTRIDGE, I CUT OUT TAGS ON MY CRICUT.  CHECK OUT HOW CUTE THESE LITTLE BAGGIES TURNED OUT!

THE PAPER IS PRIMA'S FLORA.  THE LOVELY SOLID COLORED CARDSTOCK IS CTMH.  I ADDED STICKLES INSTEAD OF JEWELS, TO KEEP COSTS DOWN.

Bubble Fun

My son had the cutest expression when trying out his new bubble gun for his birthday.  The CTMH banner stickers were so quick & easy.  I added some liquid pearls to them & the star for a little pizzaz.

Stamped card

I took a cute flower vase stamp and colored it with pencils.  My plan was to try out some cute bakers twine.

I punched tiny holes on each side of one vase, then tied a bow.  Pink Paisley makes a cute four pack of twine.

The paper is Prima's Flora & that gorgeous yellow flower ribbon is Webster's Pages.
