BBTB June Contest






For this challenge I made a 2 page scrapbook layout for our Mexico vacation album. Granddaughter Emma was thrilled to have her hair braided right on the beach! The flowers on my pages match the string of bead flowers that Maria strung through Emma's braids. It was fun working with this project using a SKETCH provided by Shortcuts.

BBTB "Peggy Loves Vintage" Contest




Here's my card for the contest hosted by Regina over at Bitten by the Bug this month. For this contest we were to use a vintage image from the Peggy Loves Vintage collection! I love old timey cards so this was fun for me... I used Home Accents and George Cricut cartridges for this project, added a cute little blue star rattle and vintage rick rack around the baby! I inked all the edges to give it that aged look.

BBTB Contest using ribbon!

For this scrapbook layout I used the George to make my eggs & flower and Stretch Your Imagination for my Easter bunny and basket. I used plenty of ribbon pieces to decorate my eggs and a bow to accent my basket. Of course the focal point is my adorable new grandbaby Julia, just 2 months old enjoying her first Easter!
