#26 Chinese New Year 2- Page Layout

Hi everyone! Here's a layout I made of us celebrating Chinese New Year 2010 the year of the "Tiger". We went to this awesome parade in Chinatown Los Angeles, CA. It was our first time ever seeing something like this I loved every minute of it! There were so many colorful floats and dragons and dancers, along with people doing karate it's a must see! 

All of the cuts I used here are from the Pagoda Cricut cartridge, and the sentiment is from Designer's Calendar Cricut cartridge. I got this gorgeous stack of patterned paper from KI Memories for only $5 at Ross, I love getting good deals on supplies! I also added Stickles, black glitter brads, rick rack ribbon, and some black ribbon on the bottom.

Yay I had a lot of fun making this card I have had this idea in my head for a while now and I finally got to put it to good use. I am so proud of myself because I used several different carts to make this Mexican Cactus! And I also got some good use of my scraps, every piece of paper here was a scarp, hey I can't be wasteful...right ladies!?! I stamped his eyes with the Monster Faces from Peachy Keen Stamps, I created my own sentiment with KinderStampO stamps, I also used 3 colors of Stickles and added pop dots under the hat. Here's a list of the carts I used:

Cactus: Toy Story Cart

Guitar: Spongebob Squarepants Cart

Mustache: Billionaire LITE Cart

Sombrero Hat: Designer's Calendar

#55 Shamrock Treat Box

Hi everyone! Here is a Shamrock Treat Box I made for my FLAUNT IT FRIDAYS DT entry. This week we are asking everyone to create something with the Matchbox from Tags, Bags Boxes and More Match2 (Box), page 65

. The charm is from Designer's Calendar and I stamped the face with PKS, and stamped the sentiment with Emma's stamsp. The shamrock paper is digi paper from Digital Delights By Louby Loo. Originally I was going to put chocolate gold coin candies in there but I sent my huby out to buy them and he couldn't find them anywhere and he bought me some gold coin toys instead, he it works right!?!

Please be sure to stop by tomorrow for the Hello Cupcake blog hop! it's going to be one "Sweet" hop! We're all going to be craving cupcakes after we're done!

#140 1st Easter Layout

Here's my baby boy on his 1st Easter ever in 2008! He's not really good with taking pics LOL, it comes and goes, anyways I still had to make a layout of his 1st Easter. The bunny holding the flower is from Create a Critter, the eggs are from the Easter 2010 cartridge, 1st is from Heritage and Easter is from Designer's Calendar. I stamped the talk bubble next to the bunny and did my journaling there. I used my corner frame punch and put them in the corners next to the eggs and added yellow buttons next to them. I also put some ribbon and 2 white grommets with my crop a dile.

#94, 95,96 Three vacation Layouts!

For this LO I originally made it for the Throwback Thursday birthday challenge but I didn't realize it ended on Saturday night, that's okay though! The birds are from CAC I embossed their wings with my cuttlebug and added a pop dot to the wings and hats, party hat is from ACY, sombrero hat is from Designer's Calendar I colored in the design with markers. Music notes from Hannah Montana, font is from Lyrical Letters, balloons from OUAP I stamped their faces, I handmade the black flower with the red button, I did the journaling on the green polka dot paper. This was my last page of my Mazatlan B-day Vacation book, I wanted to highlight some of the things we did and saw.

For this entired LO I used CAC for the title, mouse, cheese and camera...they were all on the same button feature! I made the mouse look like he was standing on top of the camera with a pop dot I also put a pop dot behind the cheese. I embossed the camera with CB and added silver stickles to the camera's "Flash". I inked the camera and the cheese with my Walnut Stain distress ink.  I put the large piece of patterned paper behind the pic of me and my son so it could "look" like it's in a picture frame. I cut 2 strips of border paper and put it on the bottom with 3 buttons on the left.

I did this page a while ago and didn't realize I haven't posted it yet, this is my 1st page for my Mazatlan album. I cut a large heart on vellum paper and did faux stitching from AE, the 2 other hearts on the left are also from AE. The red heart on the right which I stamped is from PS, also the brackets and font are from PS. I did some stamping (floral and bird) with my Tim Holtz stamps which I love! I also added a border from a Martha Stewart punch, ribbon, and fancy large black brads.

**********************************************

So for this post I decided to post 3 in 1 since my goal is to complete 365 projects in 365 days....I'm kind of behind so this is my way of catching up! There's a description for each LO under each pic, if you have any questions on which carts I used for each LO please don't hesitate to ask!
