BBTB June Contest

2009-06-21T16:44:00.000-07:00

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

2009-05-06T12:47:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-04-17T13:19:00.000-07:00

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!

BBTB -2nd entry for the believe/Theresa Rose Designs contest

2009-03-29T20:16:00.000-07:00

This card was inspired by a necklace created by Theresa Rose Designs.

I used the Cricut Plantin Schoolbook and the Weddings Solutions cartridges. I found an old chain that I had purchased years ago at a thrift store to attach to my believe circle, added glitter & bling to make this card sparkle! My coordinated ribbon has butterflies to match my pink butterfly in flight!

BBTB Christmas Ornament Contest 2nd Entry

To make this ornament I used (18) 1 inch circles folded in half and glued around a 4" red circle to create this mini wreath, then added a white circle for contrast before applying my photo and 2008 above! Silhouetted holly leaves & red half circle swirls add softness. My black glitter ribbon matches the 2008 to tie it all together! Cartridges used: George & Plantin Schoolbook

Snow

2008-10-27T16:00:00.000-07:00

It's freezing today! The first snow of the season...just a little, I blinked and it was gone. I suppose it was just a hint of what is to come. Saturday we went to see Sarah Palin & Hank Williams Jr in Fort Wayne. We stood in line outside for over 2 hrs brrrrr. Team Sarah!

BBTB Christmas Ornament Contest Entry

I made my ornament using the circle from the George Cartridge and added holly leaves & spirals from Joys of the Season. I used graduated sizes of the circle and pop dots to give the ornament a 3-D effect and added layers of holly leaves & spirals on the sides and then topping off the focal point of my entry is the center photo of my adorable grandchildren! I finished off the project by adding white "snow" glitter for that added sparkle when the Christmas lights are lit!
