Welcome Sterling 01

This is the first page in a baby book I am making as a gift.

I used paper on hand and created the title with my Silhouette Cameo.  The animals are all from Cottage Cutz dies.

Every Little Thing layout 4

Here is the final layout using the Close to My Heart Every Little thing paper packet and coordinating cardstock packet.  To make these 4 layouts I added 2 bulk pieces of the Every Little Thing paper and about 1 1/2 pieces of Daisy White card stock one part of a page of Ponderosa Pine as I did not have Evergreen cardstock like I thought I did.  There is still some cardstock left that can be used for cards or another layout with some more design paper.

On this layout I used the Sapphire cardstock for photo mats and I used the light side of Sapphire and Julep as part of the design.

Baby-Child-light-up-block-with-dragon-01

I made this for my new grandson for part of a shower gift.  

The SVG file is from Digital Gems Designs  and I just love this design.  Perfect for a boy or girl.  I added my new grandsons name to the banner to personalize it.

This show the blue color so well.  I used holographic paper to give the lights that sparkle/star design.  I put it on both the back and front of the block.  

Here is the design in daylight so you an see the name and elements.  The bow has light blue dots that match the vinyl color.  After I was done I decided to add a cute lion by Digital Gems to the back.  So now you can use either side.   :)

Every Little Thing layout 3

Here is the third of four layouts using the Close to My Heart Every Little thing paper packet and coordinating cardstock packet.  To make these 4 layouts I added 2 bulk pieces of the Every Little Thing paper and about 1 1/2 pieces of Daisy White card stock one part of a page of Ponderosa Pine as I did not have Evergreen cardstock like I thought I did.

For this layout I used the Wisteria cardstock for the photo mats and I used some dies I have to make the scalloped borders at the top and bottom and the journal spot.

Cupcakes-for-Sterling-baby-shower

Cupcakes I made for the baby shower given by Emily and family.  Emily did an awesome job decorating for the party.  This was the centerpiece in the kitchen. The cupcakes were chocolate with caramel filling and caramel frosting.  I wrapped them in woodland animal wraps.  The cute little toppers were made by someone on Etsy and they were adorable. It was a fun day and a great party.

Looks like I missed a topper on one cupcake!  This was the cupcake tree that was on one of tables.

Nemo Quilt for Sterling

I dabble with quilting.  I am not a great sewer but the love that makes these is what makes them special.  I made this quilt for my new grandbaby Sterling.  

The quilting on this one is stunning.  Lynn quilited the top for me and I love the cartoon fish and bubbles she used.  It really makes the quilt.  Below is a close up of 2 spots on the quilt to give you an idea.

Every Little Thing Layout 2

Here is the second of four layouts using the Close to My Heart Every Little thing paper packet and coordinating cardstock packet.  To make these 4 layouts I added 2 bulk pieces of the Every Little Thing paper and about 1 1/2 pieces of Daisy White card stock one part of a page of Ponderosa Pine as I did not have Evergreen cardstock like I thought I did.

For this layout I used the Silhouette to cut the large circle and I used some of my butterfly dies to add accents to this layout.  Mint cardstock was used for the photo mats and the butterflies are in Julep - the dark side and Ponderosa Pine cardstock.

Every Little Thing Layout 1

Here is the first of four layouts using the Close to My Heart Every Little thing paper packet and coordinating cardstock packet.  To make these 4 layouts I added 2 bulk pieces of the Every Little Thing paper and about 1 1/2 pieces of Daisy White card stock one part of a page of Ponderosa Pine as I did not have Evergreen cardstock like I thought I did.

I used the bulk Every Little Thing paper on this layout as I wanted to use the diagonal stripped paper that is on the back of this design in the paper packet for the 4th layout.  I used the light side of the Julep cardstock and the Wisteria cardstock for photo mats.

Tag party 2019

Here are the tags that the ladies made for our deer opener tag party.  The designs are from dies and from SVG files from Silhouette Design studio store and Treasure Box Designs.  The ladies loved the tags and thanks you to the Mary, Sue and Laurie who helped me prep these tags for the group. Thank you Sue for hosting.  It was a fun day.

We do this every year and it is a lot of fun.  Now the hunt begins for more designs and dies for next year.  :)
