Police saying sign - 01

This saying was bought from the Silhouette Design Studio store.  It was fun to make this. I think it turned out great and I put this on a burned wood 12 x 12 inch plaque.   

My son is a police officer so I gave him this for Christmas this year.

Holly Jolly layout 4

This is the fourth and final layout using the Close to My Heart Holly Jolly paper packet and the Holly Jolly coordinating cardstock package. There is a bit of paper left so you could make a card yet or by adding a bit more cardstock you could make another layout.  

For this layout I once again used the Close to My Heart Ornament die (it is the larger ornament) and the Tags die for the journal spot.  The small ornament is just another die I had on hand. The bling is the Holly Jolly dots.  Once again I used some of the White Daisy cardstock om this layout.

Baby-Child-block-with-TeddyBear-in-brown-01

Here is another block I have done.  The brown vinyl worked great, the golden vinyl is fine when not lighted, but once lighted the fox disappears.  So next time the fox would be in brown as well.  I use holographic paper as I love what it does to the lights.  I use it on the front and back both, so that adds $10 to the cost of making these, but the end result is worth the cost as it just adds another element to these. 

 

Most people do not put something on the back, but I do just so it is not blank and I don't want to block it off with paper or something else.  This color did not work as well as I thought, however it is still cute and I am not about to scrap $6 worth of product and 1 1/2 hours work as most people never look at the back.

 Below lighted.

I really love making these.

Holly Jolly Layout 1

This is the first of 4 layouts using the Close to My Heart Holly Jolly paper packet and the Holly Jolly coordinating cardstock package. For these 4 layouts I added 3 Daisy White cardstock sheets and just  a bit of Black cardstock as well.

I added a bit of Daisy White cardstock to this layout and it is not quite how I designed it as when I adhered the pages I goofed up on the first one, but it still looks okay.  I used some Spellbinder dies on this layout to add some excitement.   The Holly Jolly dots where used to add some bling.

Holly Jolly layout 3

This is the third layout using the Close to My Heart Holly Jolly paper packet and the Holly Jolly coordinating cardstock package. I love the little corner details as it changes up the layout.  I love the little zip stips on the paper and I always use some of those from the paper packet in the layouts that I do.

I used some of the White cardstock from previous layouts on this layout and part of the one bulk piece of paper to add the fun little corners on this layout.  I used the Close to My Heart Tags dies to add the journal spot and a snowflake die I had on hand for the snowflake.  THe bling is the Holly Jolly dots.

Holly Jolly Layout 2

This is the second layout using the Close to My Heart Holly Jolly paper packet and the Holly Jolly coordinating cardstock package. 

 For this layout I added a fun title using an SVG file from Treasure Box designs.  Making a title takes time, so I do not always do this for my club.  I just think it really helps this layout pop. It was made using paper left after all 4 layouts were made.
I also used the Close to My Heart Ornament die and another ornament die I had one had.  

The bling was added with the Holly Jolly Dots.

I added some black and white cardstock to this layout as well.

Robot quilt for Sterling

 This is the Robot quilt that I made for my new grandson.   This one is a bit smaller than the Nemo quilt.. Again sewn with love and I as really am not a very good sewer, but I do have fun doing these quilts for family.

Once again I had Lynn quilt the top and she did robots designs and they are adorable.  I have given to close up pictures of those.
