Cute Ghost Halloween Layout

Hi Everyone!!  I usually don't post on the weekends, but I have to show you the cute layout I made last night.  I was shopping at Walmart and found a Halloween display in the craft isle with lots of Halloween stickers.  They were $1.50 a pack and I found some super cute border stickers.  They also had Thanksgiving sticker as well.  My other Walmart didn't have these stickers so when I saw them, I grabbed them.  I purchased 3 packs of the border stickers.  Here is a picture of 2 of the pack I bought.  I use the ghost pack for my layout.   These stickers are 3D and have glitter on them.  They really are the cutest!!! (Sorry for the glare.  I should have taken them out of the package before taking pictures)

OK!  Now on to my layout.  The ghost package had 2 border stickers.  I used the tombstone one at the bottom of the page.  I cut up the ghost border and put the ghost thought the page.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this turned out!!!!

 This is the tombstone/grave yard sticker border.  Sorry for the glare.

 The Happy Halloween is a stamp from the Close to my Heart Fall stamp set.

 I inked up all the paper edges with black ink and LOVE how spooky they look.

 These ghost have glitter and some of them have googly eyes.  They are so cute.

I used number stickers for the year and outlined them with my Martha Stewart black pen to make them stand out.  I also used my MS black pen and my white gel pen to make dots on the numbers.

 Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!!!

Sweet Baby Layout

Hi Everyone!  Today I have a sweet baby layout using DCWV Nana's Nursery cardstock.  The baby's dress matched perfectly with the green in the cardstock.  I really wanted to put "berry sweet" somewhere on this layout but I wasn't sure where to put it.  I may put it on the layout later on.  I used the Martha Steware writing pen to outline the letters.  They didn't show up very well even after inking them so I outlined them with the pen to help them stand out better.  I used my gypsy to weld the words together.

Super Easy Layout Using Squares

Hi Everyone!!  This is a super easy layout using squares for the background and border.

 

I started off with lime green cardstock.   The pattern paper is from Michaels Dollar section (I bought it around Christmas time).   There was several pieces of scalloped squares in the package.  I turned one square to look like a diamond shape and left the other the square.

Next I cut the white flowers from Walk in my Garden Cricut Cartridge and used lime green eyelets for the centers.

Here are 1 x 1 inch black squares turned to look like diamonds for the border at the bottom of the page.  I also have some squares at the top right corner for journaling.   I attached some white glittered ribbon and cut more flowers from WIMG cartridge.  I added some lime green to the back of the flowers so you would see it through the center and added some black dots with a black pen.  I wanted them to look like the patterned paper flowers.

I am really happy how this turned out.  This would also look wonderful with the edges of the squares inked.  I wanted to keep it simple!

Making Photo Corners & Beautiful Birthday Layout

Hi everyone!!  I LOVE photo corners.  I wanted to show you a quick and simple way to make photo corners.  I used a 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 square.  This is a square I got in a kit, but you can find many decorative squares on many of the cricut carts. 

Cut the square from corner to corner making 4 triangles.  I used my Martha Stewart paper cutter.  It may have been easier to use a ruler and a craft knife.

It is that easy!!!  I added a few dots with my white gel pen.

Imagine the endless possiblities with all the cricut carts. 

Here is the entire birthday layout I made with the photo corners.

Can you tell I LOVE my white gel pen?  Enjoy and have fun creating photo corners!

Baby Layout

Todays layout is a BABY layout.  This is sooo cute.  I tried to pull the colors and flowers from the baby's outfit.  The DCWV paper and the Bazzill Bling cardstock really went well together.  I used the Bazzill Bling 8x8 cardstock for the font, flowers and the pink mat.  I may have went overboard with the flowers but they were so cute I couldn't resist!

13th Birthday Layout

Good Morning Everyone!!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and Mothers Day!!  I am going to be showing layouts this week that I have done.  I am trying to keep the layouts for this week simple.    So please stop back everyday this week to see a new layout.

Todays layout is a BIRTHDAY layout!  I really liked how this one turned out.  I started this layout with the "13".  It is actually the front of a greeting card that the child received for her birthday.  I chose the colors from the colors in the "13".  I started off with plain hot pink cardstock.  Then I added plain orange squares of cardstock.  I didn't have any pattern paper that would work for this layout so I made my own.  I stamped birthday hats with hot pink ink on the orange cardstock.  The "13" also had glitter on it, so I used a glue pen and glitter to highlight the letters in Happy Birthday and the C in Caitlin.  Shows up better in person.  Also used a small hole punch with yellow cardstock to make the small dots on the page. It turned out really cute!!

Birthday Layout for PK Challenge

This is the banner birthday layout I did for the Peachy Keen Challenge.  I really liked how it turned out.  I tried to keep it simple.   I love how vivid the colors of the balloons are.  This is the first banner I have made and although it was a little time consuming, I LOVED how it turned out!  I will definitely be making banners again.  I stamped Peachy Keen Faces on the balloons and plan on doing my journaling under them.

Martha Stewart Glitter & Glue Pen ~~~And Layout~~~

I am a HUGE fan of Martha Stewart crafting supplies!  I purchased the fine tip glue pen at Michaels and the variety pack of glitter.  I did the following layout in purple and brown and wanted to use some glitter.   The flower image is part of the cardstock but you could easily use stamps and stamp it on cardstock to achieve the same look.  I used the glue pen and outlined the flowers and applied glitter.  However, I didn't use the glittered paper in my layout because the purple didn't match..  I just wanted to show you how amazing the pen and glitter did!
