Baby Boy - Side Step Card

The Lamb was cut out using Cricut Expression "Wall Décor and More" cartridge, and the Booties and Overalls on Hanger are from "Baby Steps" cartridge.  The mirror is die cut of Spellbinders "Labels Twenty."

8 point Christmas Star Ornament

I used the Cricut Edge to Edge cartridge to print this 8 point star twice, scored hills and valleys at each juncture, painted with Mod Podge Hard Coat finish (probably could have skipped this step as it was stiff enough with good cardstock), and added some glitter glue.

NOTE:  I tried it as a much smaller star, and the holes don't cut through, so whatever your preference for size...I liked how the lights show through the holes a little with a larger star. Next time I might use a hole punch around the edges to let more light through.

Princess Card in a Box

I had so much fun making this Princess Card in a Box for our grand-daughter's 4th birthday.  She loves to play princess, so I printed out some Disney Printable Coloring Pages on watercolor paper, colored with Copics, and added glitter, sparklies, liquid pearls, glossy accents, a flower, candles, and balloons. The castle(s) were cut with Cricut using Wall Décor and More cartridge.

The cake is a freebie digital printable (whimsical cake) at:  http://beyondthefringecrafts.blogspot.com/2011/04/free-whimsical-cake-digi-stamp.html

Peony Explosion Box

I used Spellbinders "Grand Peony" to make the flower for this birthday explosion box, and Graphic 45 Botanical Tea (my absolute favorite) paper collection. 

 

 I added some baubles made out of shrinky dink, some tags with quotes/verses and tabs for pictures, and a 2nd mini box with a jewelry gift inside.  I cut my Explo boxes with Cricut Mini Books cartridge, but they are really easier to make than they look with just some 12X12 papers.  Pinterest has quite a few templates and tutorials.

Baby Girl Scrapbook

This is a 24+ page scrapbook made for our beautiful grand-daughter Sophia....it was a joy to make as I think of all of the things she will be experiencing and learning in her first few years of life....Sorry, there are quite a number of pictures, but some close-ups show more detail.  The cuts are mostly made with Cricut, and Tim Holtz or Spellbinders dies. (sorry for the "chunkiness" of layout....had trouble with this old blogger format trying to fit more pics to make better use of the space...one of these days I will be brave enough, or have the time to switch over to new format...just click on first pic - it's easier to see them that way)

The film strip is Tim Holtz Alterations Die "Decorative Strip," and bird motif is Cricut cut.

I just love Mo's Digital Pencil digi's, and especially her snow fairies...she is so talented.  I just had to buy a few of them!!  This is "Winter Fairy Talva"....there is another one (Santa Kai) later on in this book.

 It was fun using this little "action wobble spring" to make the snowman jiggle...hadn't used one before (got this one at a craft fair, but you can get many brands on Amazon), and they are so cute for cards or scrapbooks. This lady shows what they are about, halfway down the page:  Sandie's Card Garden  The snow flakes are cut on the Cricut with the "When It's Cold Outside" cartridge. The snow at bottom of page is White Flowersoft.

The Poinsettia here is Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia Die., and the punch is Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page.

This BEAUTIFUL little digi is another Mo's Digital Pencil digi....called "Santa Kai"...so precious! The back is left blank for adding a picture.

To make the bough I used the Martha Stewart Branch Punch....great punch for wreaths, boughs or trees!

 I love these little glue on sayings, but I am realizing from previous purchases and books that I have made using these, that the resin in them yellows over time...not a good thing, unless you don't mind the "vintage" look like on this page.

 

 

These butterflies are punched from plain white card stock that I inked in rainbow colors.

The digi of this little girl playing dress-up is another one from Mo's Digital Pencil, called "Big Shoes."

The cut outs on the back cover are from Cricut cartridge "Nursery Rhymes"...Three Blind Mice, Cat and the Fiddle, and Three Little Pigs.
