Just Us Girls LO

First and foremost, thanks so much for stopping by today ;).  I am linking this project to the CC Blog Weekly Challenge with the theme "Flower Fusion."  We were asked to incorporate purchased flowers into our projects.  I chose to make a double LO to cut down on the LOs I'm so behind in ;).  The pictures were taken in 2008 when my then 3 year old DD and I were babysitting my newborn niece Emma.  My DD loved "babysitting" her little cousin - made her feel like a big girl!

The title "Just us girls" were cut from the Hello Kitty Font cart, with the top layers embossed with the D'vine Swirls CB folder.  The border on the right side of the second page is from the MS Elegant Cake Art cart.  I embellished the border with some flowers I purchased from Oriental Trading Company 2 years ago.  I glued different colored buttons in the middle of each flower.  The other border (just peeking behind the pictures on the first page) was just a strip of white cardstock punched with a MS doily puncher on both sides then embellished with a strip of ribbon.  The mats for the pictures were cut to size using Fiskar scissors, some decorated with the same ribbon as the white border strip.  

The big girl doll was cut using the Paper Doll Dress Up cart and the baby doll was cut from the Everyday Paper Dolls cart; both dolls were stamped using Peachy Keen face stamps.  The journaling was computer generated.

Have a wonderful day everyone! 

BOO banner

Hi there!  Boy do I feel like a multi-tasker today LOL!  I made this BOO banner to enter in 3 challenges:  (1) the Cricut Circle Challenge Blog [create a home decor project], (2) Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog [create a project with a ghost in it], and  (3) Bitten By The Bug2 [create a project with purple in it].

Now on to the details.  The base for each banner pennant is a tag image from the Wrap It Up cart, both layers cut at 10 inches.  Then I cut 3 of the same cobweb image from the Chic and Scary cart and stuck each in the banner pennants in different orientations.  Each of the "BOO" letters were cut 3x then layered with foam mounts, the top layer embossed with the Script CB folder.  The letters were from the Happy Hauntings cart.  The ghosts were from Mini Monsters, Paper Doll Dress Up, and Happy Hauntings carts, respectively.  I used Peachy Keen face stamps for the ghosts' faces.  I hung the pennants with black tulle.

 Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

***edited to add:  all supplies used were from my stash!  Project #14 for Using My Stash pledge over at CC MB.   

Ah, heck late again!

I am such a bad Aunt :( !  Completely forgot to give one of my dear nephews a gift on his 9th birthday.....are you ready for this?  Back in May!!!  So to make it up to him I am including a big fat Target gift card in this gift box I made - to help fund a new DS game.  He'll forgive me - not because of the big fat gift card but because I'm still his favorite Aunt ;p hahaha! 

I created the base of the box to hold the gift card from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cart.  The pirate hat and layers are from the Boys Will Be Boys cart.  The palm tree and the treasure map are from Paper Doll Dress Up cart.  The pirate ship is from the Wrap it Up cart.  The base of the tag attached with a black tulle was cut from TBBM.  I welded the anchor and the steering wheel cuts onto the base and then cut them out separately in white cardstock - they are from Life is a Beach cart.  

 

BTW this is my project #2 for Using My Stash pledge over at the CC MB.  I am also entering this in the Bitten By the Bug2 challenge using TBBM cart, as well as the Fantabulous Cricut challenge with the pirate theme. 

Hope you like and thanks for looking!
