Practical Scrappers Snow Project

I took 2 old poloroid pictures, scanned them, and reprinted them to make this one. That young lady in the fake fur is me.....all of 6 years old. I used Daisy D's paper kit Winter Fun. The yellow card is embossed with my Cuttlebug and Snow Dots folder. The trees are Doodlecharms, cut at regular and shadow, inked, glittered, and painted with dimensional paint (trunks). Great memories!

Say Cheese

At Practical Scrappers, we were supposed to create a layout of one of our Christmas traditions.   I chose the annual Christmas photo of the kids.  I used EveryDay Paper Dolls for the Camera....cut on real dial size 3 in silver foil and black.   Cut apart the silver to use as accent pieces.   Trimmed with a white gel pen....and rhinestones.  The little mouse is from Animal Kingdom....face is layered....and I added some circles for the ears.   I cut the legs/arms apart and reattached them. Face is inked and doodled and pop dotted.  I put a little Santa hat from Pooh and Friends on him, cut from red foil with white trim.   The cheese is the party hat from Doodlecharms.  Title is Stickers (so glad to use up some of those.....too many at Big Lots!!)  Added some Favorite Findings metallic snowflakes here and there....and some of that great red rhinestone bling!

Look WhoOo's 8! Tri-challenge

Tri-challenge time at Practical Scrappers (use 3 different ribbons), Frosted Designs (put an owl in your project), and Stuck on U Sketches (follow their sketch).   This was a fun layout to do.....decided to use an old birthday picture of Kati....and the owl inspired the title:   Look WhoOo's 8!   Used Imaginesce paper (Cool Summer collection) and yellow DCWV cardstock.   The "8" is from Mickey Font as well as "LOOK".  The flowers are George, double cut and layered with pop dots.   Attached a little birthday hat from Doodlecharms on the owls, who were cut from DCWV Fall Glitter stack (2008).   Everything is inked (I need a case of Cat's Eye Chestnut Roan) and some "bling" was put on the "8"!

Fall Fun!

This is the first layout I've made without having a picture first.  I was playing around the other day and made a cute little crow out of Doodlecharm's eggs for a card.  I liked him so much, I decided to make a layout with him.   Kati will have to get photographed at the Cedar Bluff Fall Festival in a couple of weeks.

The paper on this one is DCWV Green Stack.  The title is Pooh Font (Marker), cut in yellow and inked with a mahogany ink.  The fence is PDDU, detailed with a bronze gel pen and ink.  The crows are Doodlecharm eggs and PDDU for the hats.  More details are on my other blog,sherrisllc.blogspot.com.  The pumpkins are George ovals, inked, glued together, and embellished with rafia bows. 

Our Little Lady Turns Two!

Emme Grace turned two this month and celebrated with a ladybug picnic. Too cute! Here is the layout of her birthday and some pictures of her delightful ladybug food.

Used a sketch from Scrapbooks, Etc. Ladybugs are Doodlecharms, cut at 1", 1 1/2", and 2". Added crystals for eyes and spots........little thread antennae. Title is Remarks stickers, chipboard for the Target $1 bin, and "2" is Alphalicious cut at 4 1/2" on regular and shadow....attached with pop dots. I used felt and paper flowers and attached buttons to the center.

Little Boys and Little Girls

A while back, someone made a card with mason jars depicting what little boys and girls were made of......I loved it! It stayed in the back of my mind until I got an idea of how to make a layout with this concept. I used lots of Cricut cartridges on these pages.

Baby Boy: Paper is from the Bambino collection (Daisy D's) and the checked paper is American Crafts. Used SYI for the jars, cut once regular cut on brown and acetate....once on brown silhouette. The cap is cut from gold foil. The snake is from Animal Kingdom....the snail is hand-done (I so need Walk in my Garden.....)....and the puppy dog tails are hand cut/decorated as well. Jar labels and "are made of" are computer generated, cut out with decorative edging scissors and inked. "Little" is Mickey font...."Boys" is Pooh font (Marker). I added a few buttons here and there. The baby head is Doodlecharms as is the puppy. The puppy is cut on black blackout, brown regular, and tan shadows. Mouth is hand-drawn and his cheeks are inked. Wiggly eyes on baby and puppy.

Little Girl: Paper is Sweet Baby Jane Collection from Daisy D's. Sugar is snow glitter, spice is red glitter, and everything nice is a butterfly punch, a heart rub-on, and a George flower inked with gel pens. Labels and "are made of" are done the same way......"little" is Pooh font....."girls" is Alphalicious. Added some flower shaped buttons here and there. Baby head from Doodlecharms and also the cat. Cut dark pink blackout, light pink regular cut...and dark pink layers. Chalked cheeks on both and added wiggly eyes.

Popcorn!

Our cousins, Trey and Dylan, watching Kati play basketball. I used the search feature on on the Cricut messageboards for popcorn and someone with a talent for looking at things rather differently decided that the scoop of ice cream on Doodlecharms (turned upside down) looked like popcorn. Correct! I cut lots of popcorn kernals at 1", 1 1/2", 1 1/4", 2" and 2 1/2" using a Marcella by K Fresh paint pad....this worked great because each paper is 2 shades of yellow - one on each side. Then I stacked them together in groups of 2, 3, or 4, alternating the yellow shades, and inked with brown ink and a q-tip. Did I mention this was somewhat time consuming??? The popcorn bag is the tag foundation from Doodlecharms, cut double, set with pop strips between the layers, inked, and embellished with a red paint pen and popcorn. For the popcorn in the bag, I alternately glued one on the back piece, then one on the front to give it some dimension. Letters are Pink Paislee "Holly Doodle" Plaid paper is from DCWV Animal Crackers, striped paper is Bo Bunny.

First Football Game

My two teens love their youngest baby cousins, Bo and Emme. They like nothing better than to take them out and about with them. This layout is Emme's 1st football game....her hometown v. our hometown. And she came to watch Craig perform in the band.

Printed paper is from Animal Crackers (DCWV) and the football field was from the scrap pile....I'd cut off the information. I used the baby head from Doodlecharms, cut at 4 " on blackout.....I used white curling ribbon to decorate it. Lettering is from George. I had a football sticker set laying around and used a few to finish it off along with some random chipboard pieces.

Jack Frost Nipping at Your Nose

I took 2 old poloroid pictures, scanned them, and reprinted them to make this one. That young lady in the fake fur is me.....all of 6 years old. I used Daisy D's paper kit Winter Fun. The yellow card is embossed with my Cuttlebug and Snow Dots folder. The trees are Doodlecharms, cut at regular and shadow, inked, glittered, and painted with dimensional paint (trunks). Great memories
