Belle Papier {pretty paper}

I have a fun layout to share with you today. Another one of my 30 in 30. This was number 5. I just adore these photos of child #4. I took these backlit photos while practicing for a photography class last year. I really need to get practicing more as I have a long way to go. And please note…he is NOT wearing lipstick. I’m not quite sure why the photo of this layout makes his lips appear so red. Crazy huh?

I also have a confession to make. I’m now four days behind on my 30 in 30 challenge. I’m trying to get back on track today but it’s a busy week for me, at home as well as designing, so wish me luck! I don’t want to flake out half way through.

Supply List: Lil’ Man patterned paper and chipboard by Cosmo Cricket, Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, Binding Edge Punch by EK Success, Maya Road Journaling Sheer, ric rack by Creative Impressions,  Prima Galaxy Stars, Spellbinders Nestability Circle Die

I’m off to tackle my to do list. What’s on yours?

In keeping with my current idea of mixing it up and using it up, I created this fun card for my daughter’s seventeenth birthday. Seriously. Where does the time go?! So this card is a mish mash of goodies that I’ve been hanging on to and a couple new things that were on my desk and just worked themselves into the mix. A little Prima, Making Memories, Heidi Swapp, Maya Road, Fancy Pants, Zva, Pink Paislee…you get the idea.

Thanks for stopping by!

Do you like interactive cards? I love them but rarely make them. For this card though, I just had to make that little plane fly. The sketch worked out perfectly for it too!

This week I’ve used Card Patterns sketch #50 with a fun digital stamp set from Inktegrity. It’s called  High There and it is so super sweet. While hunting through my stash, I found this Cosmo Cricket paper. Could it be more perfect? I’m pretty tickled with how this design turned out.

Join us this week for the Card Pattern’s sketch #50. Our sponsor this week is Inktegrity. Enter by Friday at midnight for a chance to win a guest designer spot and a great prize.

Quick Tip: Add moveable elements by using a brad and a piece of clear plastic to make your plane fly.

While you can barely see it in most light…here’s a photo of the light catching the plastic that makes the plane “fly”.

Supplies: kraft cardstock by Bazzill, patterned paper by Cosmo Cricket, felt, sewing machine, grosgrain ribbon, brad, clear plastic
Do you make interactive cards? Why not give it a whirl?

A couple more of my 30 in 30 scrapbooking layouts to share today. These ones were done for Kelly at the Keep in Touch Card shop. She sent me some gorgeous goodies and I had lots of fun playin. The kit she sent was so yummy that I used up almost every scrap. You may notice that some of the same papers make an appearance on both layouts as well as the cards I shared with you the other day on the Card Blitz post.

I do have a card to share today as well but it’s on the blog at Every Thing Creative with a quick and easy printing technique.

This design uses a simple grid layout with word stickers for my journaling.

This layout is a wild mix of color to imitate the photo and to emphasize the playfulness.

I’m hoping to get back on track with my scrapbooking today. It’s been a crazy week and all of a sudden my working ahead status turned into some serious catching up!

Have a wonderful day!

For the kitchen I thought it would be fun to make a little recipe holder. A fun and easy project and this Graphic 45 Domestic Goddess paper is oh so yummy I just had to use it up. Today in the CLASSroom, I have a tutorial with step outs on how to create this project and a little info on adhesives.Why not join me here?

Also…just  a quick little enabling…I’m so excited that Ellen Hutson LLC has started receiving some of the brand new CHA product. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Have a great weekend!
