Birthday Scallops

Well, I'm back to my monthly birthday card making. I was interrupted for a bit by the water damage to my scrapbook room, caused by the broken water heater. Now it's time to play catch up, got a lot of work to do. My girlfriend is really into scallops and well, I think it's rubbed off on me, so here's a birthday card with scallops. I love green and brown together and ribbons and flowers are always in order.

Decorated Clipboard

I bought a small clipboard, some pretty paper and my favorite, ribbon. Here's what I came up with.

My Space

I have a new scrapbook room, which I absolutely love, and I thought I would make a pretty plaque to hang on the wall. Just looking at my plaque, makes me enjoy my space all the more. Isn't it pretty?

Challenge #5

Challenge #5 was truly a challenge. For this project we were required to use at least 2 different patterned papers, a Teddy Bear from the Doodlecharm cartridge, flowers, ribbon and buttons. I decided I would do a 2 page layout of my little nephew. He got a walker for Christmas and he is ready to hit the road (floor).

More Scallops

My girlfriend sent me a scalloped file from her Cricut Design Studio and this is what I came up with. Scallops just add something to any creation; don't you think?

Happy Anniversary

I've been playing with my new Cricut Design Studio software. I wanted to do a card with scallops, one of my favorites things, at the moment. I bought this patterned paper for a class I was teaching and I just love it, so I bought some extra. It's a simple kind of elegance.

Hideous Paper

Have you ever walked in to a scrapbook store, saw some patterned paper that you really like, purchased the paper, then got home and thought, "what on earth made me buy this paper"? Well, that's what I thought of this paper, until I started playing with it one night. After playing with it for a while, I realized how much I liked it and starting thinking of things to create. Here's what I came up with and I think I really like it.
