FLORENTINE Layout Minus Kassidi the DOG

This my second Florentine layout (minus Kassidi the dog).  I made the flowers out of lace and loved how they came out!  Don't know if my peeps are going to want to sew, but I'll make them.  Always trying to teach them new things.  On the BELL letters, I used the posterboard alphabet on one of the Florentine papers and then off stamped a flourish on them.

FLORENTINE LAYOUT 2

This is the first attempt to post my second Florentine layout.  I think my Kassidi Jo wanted to make sure to be part of the Bell family.  (her last name is Bell).

DOTTY FOR YOU BANNER LAYOUT

This is my layout for my third Workshop of April.  The picture isn't that good, looks better in person.  I wanted to show my customers how versatile this paper pack is so I made a layout that can be a birthday layout for boys, girls, males or females.  The stamp technique for this workshop is STAMPING OFF to get two shades of the same color.   LOVE THIS PAPER PACK!

ANOTHER CRUISIN' LAYOUT

I thought I would try to use up the rest of the paper pack, but I still have more!  I just used all the paper scraps as they were (no cutting) and love how it turned out!  Think I'll make a few cards with it!  My husband and I are going to visit our daughter when she has her baby (from NY to Michigan)  so this layout will be perfect for the ROAD TRIP!

I'M FINALLY MOTIVATED

Wow!  I'm finally motivated to do more layouts!  Four in one week is a record for me lately.  As soon as I get my scraproom organized I'm going to create, create, create!  My husband is tired of me cluttering up the dining room, can't blame him!

FORGOT TO ADD PICTURE!

Here it is!

CRUISIN' LAYOUT 2

I wasn't thrilled with the Cruisin' Paper Pack when I purchased it but LOVE it now!  This layout is the same pattern as the one I did with the Dotty for You Paper Pack and I liked it so much I did something I've never done before.  I repeated it with this paper pack.   Let me know what you think!

Dotty for You Layout

I lifted the basic design for this layout from a fellow consultant but all the embellishments are my own.  Used Dotty for You Paper Pack (a special purchase only available from April 17th - May 31st from Close to My Heart).  Click on the shop now icon to see details.   I love the many colors in this pack that all coordinate with each other.  I used the "Art Philosophy"  Cricut cartridge (exclusive only to Close to My Heart)  to make the big scalloped circle and the big circle, also the butterflies.  The journaling is on a sliding tab to the left and is semi- hidden under the circle.

CRUISIN' LAYOUT

This is my second April Workshop of the Month layout. I ended up having two. I used the Cruisin' Paper Pack from Close to My Heart with the "Family Love" stampset.  I LOVE this stampset!!  Check it out by hitting the "Shop with Me" link.

FLORENTINE LAYOUT

This is a one page "Florentine" layout, made with cricut "Art Philoshophy" cartridge (ask me about purchasing this awesome 700 icon cartridge). The possibilities are endless with this cartridge. I used the "Family Love" stamp set for quotes.

frybox and cards

This is an Art Philosophy Cricut frybox with 4 notecards using Pemberly Paper pack that I gave away at one of my Workshops.  I used the Just for You and Thoughtful Tidings stamp sets.

A Beautiful Spring Day

I can't seem to be happy staying inside today.  It's so nice out!  Took mom shopping this morning.  Picked up Jordan from school ( he's my daycare guy and told me cuz he is 5 that I don't babysit him, I kidsit him.)  Love the sayings and thoughts that come out of his mouth. Fell in love with this little boy from day one!  I just realized that my life is not complete unless I have a child in it and he is filling the void!  Thanks to his mom, dad and nana for sharing him with me!  Sharing this pic of him.
