Mini Calendar

 

A few months ago I made several of these little match box mini calendars (I made them look like purses w/ handles on them).  Well I had a few extra SRM stickers in the calendars just waiting to used.  My friend asked me for a calendar because she didn't have one in her purse so I made this fun little calendar. 

Since, I had a few extra pieces of paper and several of the calendar stickers this also became part of my monthly kit for Scrappy Chic http://www.scrappychiclivonia.com/.

 

I used the paper from Crate Paper Birthday -Surprise, Cupcake

The cover is only part of the paper and the pages are 2 pieces - you can make this w/ 1 piece but it will only give you 9 pages and I wanted to make 12.

 

These are so fun to make and look great and are quick and small.

 

I used the SRM calendar stickers

Rolled flowers - from Arts Philosophy cricut cartridge.

 

I used a Velcro dot for the closure but you could use a magnet or button/tie.

 

Hope you enjoy and

S.W.A.T. Drill #5

So I am partaking in another S.W.A.T drill - which is #5. To dig deep into your stash and make something using your stash and make it look new.

Well I loved this fun little photo "collage" of my daughter but I often rotate my photos out - so I cut this collage apart after all it's only a few years old. I then re created a new layout using the photos. I used some older paper that I had and don't even remember the line. I think it's Bella Blvd but don't quote me on it. I also used an older Cricut cartridge to make the musical notes - those are from Chore chart and 3 Birds on parade.

I added a few new embellishments that I've had for a few months now. I added a sweet little white ruffle from Maya Road and some rhinestones.

I love the cute little title and the photos of my little one is just perfect for this paper, and saying.

S.W.A.T - Drill #6

So I came across a fun and new challenge. This one is from S.W.A.T. -- (Scrapbook Warriors Advanced Training). The drill is to create a layout using the following sketch.

 

We all know I love great sketches and challenges.

 

I love to change things up on the sketch and this was no different.

 

The cream back ground paper is bazzill

The herringbone paper is from imaginisce paper - Hugs & Kisses.

The dark pink is from bazzill

The light pink/orange color is actually from SEI

 

I cut 4 scallop circles one at 8, 6,4,3 and inked the edges with chalk ink.

 

The button stripe is from Die - Namics dies - button set.

 

The tickets are from Fun Ticket stamp and coordinating die by Emma at http://my-creative-time.com/.

Graduation Banner

A few weeks ago a friend asked me if I would make a banner for her daughter who is graduation from high school. The colors are royal blue and silver. She just gave me a size wanted and the name and told me I had free rain for the rest.

I went with the traditional Congratulations and her name then I added some additional banners w/ the fun graduate, diploma, class of and a few little stars.

Banners were cut at 5" w/ the shadow feature from Birthday Bash
The letters were all cut from Something to Remember at 3" - 3.2" I used my gypsy to size them accordingly.
I also did the shadow function with those.
The girl was from Paper dolls - and I used the "hide" feature so I could stamp some PKS faces on them. She was cut at 3.5"

The Class of 2013- I did again with the gypsy and sized the letters at 1.6 and welded them together.

The diploma was cut at 1.5" from Wrap it up. (You know those cartridges you forget about when buy them having awesome fun features).

I since she only wanted Royal Blue and silver I pop dotted the letters up so they would really stand out on the banner.

The paper is Cord'inations - royal blue and some light weight silver paper from bazzill.

 

Hope you enjoy and Happy Scrappin'

 



Our newest addition....

So a few weeks ago a friend of mine gave birth to a sweet little girl. So besides making a few other things for her and sending her a care package I thought I'd make a fun little card too.

The card is 6x6 (since it's going in a box w/ the other stuff I wasn't worried about bulkiness/size). I started with a piece of 6x6 Bella Blvd paper called Kiss Me. I've had it in my stash for a while now so I thought I better use it.

I created 3 panels - each patterned panel is 1.5 x 5.5 the mat is 1.75 x 5.75.
I then cut a piece of pink bazzill - 3" circle w/ scalloped edges.

I found a pretty ribbon in my stash and added that.

The lamb and sentiment stickers are from Echo park.

I'll be entering this in the http://frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/2013/03/fabulous-friday-challenge-scallops.html weekly contest. Talk about cutting it down to the wire for the entry. :)

Hope you enjoy and
