Cutest Little Pumpkin in the Patch

The theme this week at Fantabulous Cricut is Leaves. I knew I had a cute picture of my littlest nephew with a pumpkin that would be perfect for this one. Used paper from DCWV Indian Summer....and a large, flocked houndstooth marquee cut from Recollections. Title is computer generated...then mounted to Storybook marquee banners (pop dotted the layers.) The bear is handpieced....I had a clip art image I loved and I re-created him with George, Paper Doll Dress Up, and added a Stretch Your Imagination pumpkin. Cuttlebugged the pumpkin with distressed stripes....made another I attached to a Paper Doll Dress Up fence...and sprinkled some silk leaves all around. This is for the Paper Playtimes Pumpkins or Spider Webs challenge and Frosted Designs Fall/Halloween challenge.

Feed Me!

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Busch Gardens Tampa where the hightlight was feeding a giraffe. We had so much fun! My little giraffe on this layout is handpieced from a My ScrapChick pattern. Printed it - colored with pencils and gamsol - cut and put it together. Added some fibers for the mane. Paper is DCWV. Lettering is Pooh Font (Marker), and it's embossed with the Seeing Spots folder. Leaf border at the bottom is from Life's a Beach. The sketch is this week's fun one at Sketches in Thyme....and this layout works for Frosted Designs Circle of Rick Rack challenge too.

Prom

Craig, all dressed up and ready to hit the town at Prom!  Used MS eyelet punch with rhinestone ribbon to make the side border, metallic silver foil embossed with Swirls, on the Cuttlebug, metallic blue for matting, and stickers for the title.  Added some silver metallic photo corners and flourish from Thickers.

Ice Cream - Practical Scrappers Week-end Sketch

There is a great week-end sketch at Practical Scrappers, and it made me think of this picture Kati took of herself and Emme.  Paper is K and Company and Me and My Big Ideas.  Cardstock is DCWV.  Added ribbon, rickrack, punched edging, and buttons.  The ice cream cones are concentric shapes of 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 4 1/2" from Stretch Your Imagination.  I added little pompons and beads to embellish and embossed the cones with the Argyle folder.   Attached photo corners to the picture and attached the photo and ice cream cones with pop dots.  Title is Remarks stickers in brown. 

Isn't She Lovely?

Kati going to prom last spring. I really wanted to make a paper doll of her in that cute polka dot dress. I cut the doll at 4 1/2" on blackout...then I used the Cave Girl's hair...embellished with bronze gel pen and ink. The dress is the hula girl's bra-top and the prom girl's dress (handtrimmed to make it shorter and I cut the top portion of it off as well.) I cut these double - one in white and one in pink. I used a standard hole punch in the white layer and then ran it through the cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder. Added a big pink bow at the waist and some earrings. The shoes are the Prom Girl's with some handtrimming to make a heel for them. I did her face myself and used some gel pen accents...chalked the cheeks. And she had to have some nail polish. All the paper is DCWV from a variety of stacks.....lettering is from various punchouts/ stickers that I had in my stash. The trim is a clearance find at Wal-mart. Flower was in the "closet" too...can't remember where I got it.

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
