Cherry Card

This card was so quick and easy to put together and you can tailor it to almost any occasion! The finished size is 5” x 6 1/2”.


I actually used scraps for both papers so my measurements aren’t exact but the brown cardstock was about 2 ½” x 5” so the cherry paper would be about 4” x 5”. The cherry paper is from the Close to My Heart line Cherry-O which I LOVE! I embossed the brown with my Cuttlebug D’Vine Swirl embossing folder. Then I used some Coffee Shop Glimmer Mist to add the shimmer to my brown cardstock. Then I chose 3 different Color Me Crazy flowers and sprayed the largest with Scarlet Glimmer Mist and the Small with the Coffee Shop Glimmer Mist and left the medium one plain white. Then I adhered everything to the from of my card as shown with my Scor-Tape and Glue Dots. Simple and easy and I could add a sentiment to the front depending on the occasion!

I *heart* Echo Park Paper!

I had so much fun at CHA! Thanks again to Kim from Cutters Creek for inviting your Design Team members to tag along! One of the booths I was looking forward to seeing was the Echo Park Paper booth. They are a new paper company that uses some awesome color combos and patterns in their paper lines. If you act fast you may still be able to snag some of their papers on sale at Scrapbook Chicks HUGE 50% off sale... While visiting the booth I mentioned that I'm a Facebook fan of Echo Park and Madison gave me samples of Sweet Summertime, A Walk in the Park and Life is Good as well as a sheet of stickers from the brand new Happy Halloween line. I am in LOVE with this line, the colors are perfect and the stickers are so high quality! As a challenge for the Echo Park Papers Facebook page I created this 8" x 10" canvas wall hanging with a few of those stickers:



To color the canvas I used some Purple Pansy Glimmer Mist to spray the entire canvas. Next I used a few squirts of the Silver Smooch Spritz to add a kind of starry effect. Then I added the Haunted House and Moon from my Echo Park Papers Happy Halloween sticker sheet. Next I matted my photos with some orange card stock. Then I added the Trick-or-Treat banner sticker and the little stars and bat. Next I pulled out my 1/8" Scor-Tape to adhere my black eyelash yarn all around the border. Since it still didn't feel complete I grabbed my brand new i-rock tool from Imaginisce and added some black and silver rhinestones for a few more stars. After blinging it I was happy and now I can't wait to hang it up for Halloween...

Baby Album: Part 1

I have (finally) mailed off the baby album I created for my husband's cousin’s baby so I thought I could share it here now. In addition all of these GORGEOUS papers I used are on sale for 50% off RIGHT NOW at Scrapbook Chicks! All of the papers used to make this album are from Little Yellow Bicycle's Snuggle Bug Girl collection. The only thing not from LYB is the journaling spots. Those are by Making Memories and I thought the colors went nicely with the papers. To make this album I got out my Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut Cartridge and cut the Bevel Tag with the Blackout feature on at 7 1/4" from all of my papers. I also cut 2 at 7 1/2" out of chipboard. Normally when I make one of these albums I use a piece of white cardstock as a base for each of my pages but the LYB papers are so think I didn’t need to. I just LOVE this paper! I decorated the album with various embellishments from the Snuggle Bug paper line as well as some stamps and some die cuts from the New Arrival Cricut cartridge. All of these photos are actually from a 2nd album I created to sell (except for the cover) so if you know anyone who is having a baby girl and you are interest in buying this album with a custom cover on it please contact me. On with the photos!
