#70 Summer Bookmark

Hi everyone! For today's Scrappy Moms TTC our theme is "Summer" you can play along using any Scrappy Moms Stamp set for a chance to win a stamp set of your choice. I used one of the new release stamp sets called "Life's a Circus" along with KaDoodle Bug Designs "Beach Ball Bear" past freebie pattern. I wanted to make a flat styled bookmark for times when I don't want a bulky bookmark. I think its a lot better then using an old piece of mail or a receipt as a bookmark lol! You have until 6/24 to enter your project HERE have a Terrific Tuesday! :)

#68 I Love Moo!

Hi everyone! Here's a scrapbook layout I made for the current KaDoodle Bug Designs Facebook Challenge I am costing which is black & white with one other color as your main focus my colors are black, white and pink and I also used brown paper as my background to make the cows pop out even more!

I used KaDoodle Bug Designs DAIRY COWS pattern for all 3 of the cows I altered them a little by adding little hearts to each of them and a heart to the milk botttle. This set already includes the cute little hearts and I also made my own cow paper by cutting out the cow spots and shapes and randomly placing them on the paper I did have to cut of the edges a little bit to make them straight since they have a rounded bottom shape to them as you can see on the cows. The font is from my computer and I cut everything out using SCAL 3 and my Cameo.

I stamped all 3 of the faces using Peachy Keen Stamps May 2013 stamp of the month kit PKSC-17 May 2013 and added pop dots underneath the mommy cow :)

Here's the DAIRY COWS pattern set I used from KaDoodle Bug Designs be sure to enter HERE. Click HERE to shop KaDoodle Bug Designs be sure to grab the freebies and take advantage of the 60% off sale.

#51 Cars Birthday Party Layout

Hi everyone! Here's a layout I made late last night while the baby was sleeping! I made a 2 page layout for my son's pictures from his Cars themed birthday party we had for him in October.

Since I get annoyed by all the tiny layers from the Disney carts I used this cute Svg called Zoom, Zoom from My Scrap Chick, the tires stack is from the Silhouette Store, font from my computer, and everything else... Piston Cup, lightning bolts, flags, and speed limit sign are all from the Disney Cars Cricut Cartridge. This was my first time I have to toggle between 3 different programs GYpsy, Silhouette Studio, and Sure Cuts A Lot 3, my brain was on overload last night haha!

My twine is from the Twinery, and this checkered paper is from the DCWV Immortal Love stack (the Twilight one!), the sentiment stamps says "You're Golden" from Scrappy Moms stamps, and I also used PKS Boy Mates for the face.

Have a great day!
