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!

Coloring Your Stamped Image

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.
