Mommy's Little Monster - 02

Here is another layout I am making for a gift.  I just love Monsters and I went a  little crazy with them on this layout, but I think it works. 

The titles, arrow and child in monster costume are from  Little Scraps of Heaven.  The other 3 monster accents are from Marjorie Ann Designs.

The photo mats are from Silhouette Design Studio and the Journal spot was cut with a Spellbinder die.

Close up of pages below.

Story Time -01

Today was a cold rainy day, so I decided to make another page for a book.  This one uses the Sesame Street Cartridge from Cricut for the characters.

I used different colored base pages and bright colors for the photo mats for a different look on these pages. Lifestyle Crafts/Quickutz were used to make the photo mats, journal spot and title.   

I may still add some stacked books as accents to this layout.

Elmo was cut at 5 1/4 inches
Big Bird was cut at 7 1/2 inches
Cookie Monster was cut at 5 1/4 inches

Bath Time -01

Here is another layout for a baby/child book.  This one deals with bath time.  The duck is from Little Scraps of Heaven Design and the monkey is from Kadoodle Bug Designs.  The title I made on my own.

Swiss Dot paper was used for the base pages and the photo mats.

Hawthorn Layout 4

Here is the final layout using the Close to My Heart Hawthorn paper packet and the Hawthorn Coordinating Cardstock paper packet.  

For this layout I used the Sage, Toffee and Charcoal cardstock from the coordinating cardstock paper packet.  The journal spot was cut with the Spellbinders octagon dies.

Sayings for granddaughters - 01

I made these wall hangings for my granddaughters for Christmas.  My first attempt at this and I think they turned out pretty good.  I wanted inspirational sayings for them and I found the SVG files at the Silhouette Studio store.

Vinyl on wood and a nice small about 7 x 7 size wall hanging.  I do hope my granddaughters like these.

Hawthorn Layout 3

Here is the third of 4 layouts using the Close to My Heart Hawthorn paper packet and the Hawthorn Coordinating Cardstock paper packet.  

For this layout I used the Pebble and Charcoal cardstock from the coordinating cardstock pack.  I also used one sheet of paper from the Bulk Hawthorn paper packet.   The journal spot was created with the Spellbinders deckle dies.
The leaves are in Toffee, Paprika and Sangria cardstock and were cut with a Quickutz die.  The edges of all the leaves were inked with contrasting colors.

Hawthorn Layout 2

Here is the second of 4 layouts using the Close to My Heart Hawthorn paper packet and the Hawthorn Coordinating Cardstock paper packet.  The first 2 layouts are based on some elements of the Hawthorn workshop kits.  I have changed things as I did not use the workshop kits.

For this layout I used the Sangria and Sapphire cardstock for base pages and photo mats. I used the plaid side of the paper on this layouts as I love plaid.  I also have way more photo mats on this layout.  I prefer more than one of 2 photos so that I can document what I want with the photos and I always try to have a journal spot.
