Jaded Blossom May Blog Post

Here is a summer fun Design Team post to share:

I love the sentiments on Tickled Pink, but didn't get to use them earlier this week; so I wanted to plan my project around one of the sentiment on the set. I also don't make a lot of layouts either, but just really wanted to use this flamingo from SVG Cutting Files and I just knew it would be super cute supersized!!! I have also used the Tropical Dies 2, Scallop Square Dies, Stitched Square Dies, Heart Dies 2, and Bow Dies. My paper is from Doodlebug Design. My sentiment is heat embossed.

Rainbow of Crackers! Jaded Blossom May Challenge!

It's time for the Jaded Blossom May Challenge over on the JB Blog!

Join the Jaded Blossom team this month with the new challenge theme -
Food

Who doesn't love some food, right!!!

Here is my project:

I made a LO using the Scallop Square Dies, Stitched Square Dies, Alphabet Dies and the Spring Signs 2 stamp set from Jaded Blossom and the Rainbow of Crackers SVG file from Treasure Box Designs. How sweet would this be with pictures of a sweet toddler eating his goldfish and drinking his juice.

I wanted the tag for this sentiment to resemble the spills a toddler will make, so I also used the Paint Splatters stamp set. 

I hope you will join Jaded Blossom's "Food" Challenge this month. I can't wait to see your projects!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

And now for my project!

 

Well maybe I am a bit biased or I'm just bragging (which I definitely am), but I do have a Super Kid. He is just fantastic!!! And he has 5 things in life that keep him occupied - Legos (especially Star Wars Legos), Pokemon (Last count, I think we are near 500 collector cards), his sketchbooks/notebooks, Marvel Comic Heroes (especially Spiderman), and his cat. So this LO was super fun to make incorporating two of his favorites into it! If the boy sits down, the cat is in his lap always. They are truly best friends! The paper for this are from the Sandy Lion Marvel Comics Page Kit.

"A Super Kid" Layout

Ann did an awesome job on this LO making it so easy to put together. It usually takes me days to arrange a LO; but with this, I just had to cut and glue. So easy!!!

The "A Super Kid" Layout can be found HERE! Remember that it is deeply discounted for today only, so go and grab it!

The title on my LO is one of today's freebies:

It will only be "FREE" today, so make sure you grab this as well!

It is available HERE!

I also used some Jaded Blossom stamps on this to add the final touch. I used the Super Hero and Super Hero 2 stamp sets.

I love the above sentiment. It is so true. I'm not sure which is more of the Super Hero in the relationship between my son and his cat; but the sentiment below says it best!!! 

I also used the My Hero sentiment.

I hope you have enjoyed my project and I am so glad that you hopped on by. 

Next up is Cindy.

My Sunshine Layout!

It is my day to share on the Jaded Blossom blog and I have this spring layout for all of you!!!

I used the Scallop Square Dies and Stitched Square Dies for my photo mats and the Butterflies stamp set for my butterfly accents. Here is a closer look to see the butterflies and the stitching on the photo mats. The mats will hold 4x4 photos and I think that is a perfect size for a one page layout.

I used the Girl on Swing and the My Sunshine title (an old freebie) from Treasure Box Designs for the rest. The patterned paper is from Doodlebug Designs.

Here is a close up of both the title...

 and the Girl on Swing.

Thanks for stopping by!

Create Your Own Magic!

Happy Tuesday to you! I hope your day is magical!!!

It is my day to post on the Jaded Blossom blog and I have this super fun 12x12 layout to share with you using a file from Treasure Box Designs!

I used the Tots and Whatnots Magic collection from the Teenie Treasures files at Treasure Box Designs. (The banner at the top does not come with the cut file collection.) The patterned paper is from Authentique's Beauty collection. And I finished it off using the Unicorns and Glitter stamp set for the sentiment on the star and the Card Mat Dies for the top layer of the photo mat from the Jaded Blossom store. I may have went a tad white gel pen happy on his tux, but it came out super adorable!!! Hope you will give this LO a try!!!

Blessings,

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

It's time to Follow the Yellow Brick Road!

I have made this super sweet one page layout that holds 3 - 3 1/4 x 3 1/4" photos using the Over the Rainbow and Petal Pals Buttercup files from

Treasure Box Designs.

Recently I had a client order a set of tags using the Over the Rainbow file after seeing the first set I had made last year. (You can see them on this post.) So while making those tags, I decided to make an extra set of piecings to put together this layout.

The patterned papers are from Doodlebug Design's Sunkissed collection. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the borders. Most of the cardstock is from Core'dination, but I have a couple of other brands in there as well. I have inked and chalked all the piecings to bring about dimension in the colors and then many of the pieces are also added to the page using adhesive foam.

This layout can be purchased on my eBay store here.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I'd love for you to leave a comment (I enjoy reading them) and hit the follower button on the right side bar.

Hey, Yall, it's Fall!!!

Sharing a one page LO today using a couple of really cute files from

Treasure Box Designs!!!

Don't you just love fall. The colors of the season are an array of beauty that is just unmatched. And I so enjoy the weather - the cooler temps and the late rains. It is a time of blessing and abundance.

This LO will be perfect for showing off your favorite picture from the Fall Festival or Pumpkin Patch. Or maybe you caught some great shots of your kiddos frolicking in the leaves in your front yard.

I used some great papers from Doodlebug Designs on this. Each of my piecings was made with quality cardstock and hand inked and chalked for dimension. Several of the pieces were attached with foam dimensionals. I used Trendy Twine for the Totally Orange twine and Punkin Patch stamps for the sentiment (no longer made).

The two files used from Treasure Box Designs are "Hey Yall it's Fall" and "Bushels of Fun." Both can be found in the Fall section of the store.

This LO is for sale on my eBay page here.

Thank you for dropping in today. I hope you enjoyed my LO! If you are interested, you can find more of my work on my Facebook or Pinterest pages.

Blessings,

Summer fun is sunshine and sunsets, beaches, and bare footin' fun!!! If I could live near the beach I would be in bliss and one of these days I will figure out how to at least visit the beach on a regular basis. So naturally when I thought of Good Old Summertime, my mind couldn't help but dream of the sand and palm trees! I made this LO using the Tropical Sunset file from Treasure Box Designs.

For the background and the photo mats, I used papers from Echo Park's I Love Sunshine collection that was designed by Lori Whitlock. These photos do not do justice to the papers at all. For my paper piecings, I used various brands of quality cardstock.



I did a bit of embossing on the coconuts in the palm tress using the D'vine Swirls folder from Cuttlebug. When making the boys umbrella hut, I wanted to add dimension there so I gave the umbrella a curve effect by pulling it along the side of my gel pen.

All the pieces are attached using dimensionals in one or two layers so that the pieces all pop off the page. The only exception are the photo mats. For one last touch, I added a sentiment from Mary's Cardz TV Stamps set called Summer Fun.

You're a Rock Star!!!

Do you have a Rock Star in your family!!! Then I have the perfect two page Scrapbook Layout for you! Whether your rocker is running around in his or her diaper playing an air guitar or all grown up playing in a band, this is the perfect set of pages to capture all your precious memories!!!

I used Treasure Box Designs Rock Star, Little Gems Rockers, and Little Gems Patriotic collections.

I wish you could see it in person. This is so bright and colorful contrasted with the tan and black background. The LO was inspired by the card I made last week. I thought my Rocker Dude needed a band!!! You can find the post for my card here.

  

 

For the background paper, I broke out my Halloween paper. It is from Echo Park's The Apothecary Emporium and is called Skull and Bones. The four photo mats with hold 4x4 photos. I used a couple of embossing folders on this LO as well. I used the Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls and, though you can't see it in the picture, I used Skeleton Scroll by Cuttlebug as well. I embossed a skull onto her shirt.

 

Continue down for more photos.

'My Stuffie' Boy Scrapbook LO!

How about another cute Layout this morning!!!

This one uses the Little Gems Huggies file from Treasure Box Designs. I think this set of files is about as adorable as it gets. He just look so cute snuggled up with his favorite teddy bear.

Like I shared on my card using the little girl that comes with the Little Gems file from a few days back, my kids have always called their stuffed animals 'Stuffies'. So I had to tittle my LO 'My Stuffie.' I made the title myself in my DE software. The LO is 12x12 and the boy stands about 8 1/4" tall. The bear in the corner is the same as the one the boy is holding - it is just smaller and flipped, and I moved the legs and arms around to make him sitting. The photo mats will all hold a 3 1/2" square photo. Most of the cardstock is either Bazzill or Coredinations and the patterned paper is from the open stock section of my local Michael's store. I really like all the blues (but they sure do make photographing it a bit difficult. LOL).

This is the card I made the other day using the Little Gem Huggies Girl. She is such a doll. You can find all the details about it on my original post.

The LO and card are both listed in my eBay store right now.

The link to my layout is here.

Scrappy Mom's Stamps Guest DT Project 2 - Squeal w/ Delight!

Happy Monday!!! It is a beautiful day! I hope all of you enjoy your week!!!

 

I am sharing another Guest Design Team project for

 

Scrappy Mom Stamps!

 

I am really excited to be getting into a new adventure for me in papercrafting. I am working on learning the intricacies of scrapbooking. Today I have a one page LO for you using a cute sentiment from the Scrappy Mom's Stamps new release set, Party Animals.

 

 

Here is a closer shot of the sentiment - "You make me Squeal with delight."

 

 

The cut files are from Treasure Box Design's Muddy Buddy collection. This is such a cute set!!!

 

 

I used the SVG format and cut them on my Cameo using DE. I then inked and chalked all my pieces before piecing them together.

 

 

My background paper is from K and Co. from the Tommy's Toys Paper Kit. I admit it has been in my stash for awhile. My LO measures 11 3/4" x 11 3/4" to accommodate the border that was cut with my Cameo. The file is from My Scrap Chick. The twine is from Trendy Twine and it is one of my favorite colors - Krafty Red. It comes in a spool or a mini. The photo mats will hold one 4x4 photo and one 4x6 photo.

 

It is so exciting to be working with the girls from Scrappy Mom's Stamps this week! Thank you to all of you for your kindness! I appreciate you all!!! Here is a look at the two sets of stamps for this month's release.
