You & Me - Layout

This is a layout I did for my  May Diva week as a design team member for Scrapping Nook.

I used the Teresa Collins Summer Stories line which included, paper pack, chipboard stickers, brads and enamel dots. I love all the colours and cute banners, actually I loved everything in this line! You can get all these items for a discount by pre-ordering them on The Scrapping Nook's Online store!

Rainbow Butterfly Layout

This was something I had been dying to try for awhile, it's actually quite easy, just takes some patience to cut out all the butterflies on the Big Shot, also some Elegant Butterfly punches too . I added a few rhinestones for some bling , but what really makes this layout is my beautiful cousin Indira. What a cutie!

Vintage Baby Banner

I'm very happy with how this turned out, considering it's the first banner I've ever made! I've had all the tools to make one for awhile, but never had a purpose! This is the banner for a vintage tea party baby shower.  The gorgeous Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper, available during Sale-a-bration, is perfect for a tea party!
And it just so happens that the mom-to-be loves the colour coral!! perfect!
So here's a bunch of photos showing the detail I put into it, I made each pennant unique with different papers, embellishments and dies/punches.

I'm working on an order for baby shower decorations right now, and I made this cute card to include in the package for her to give to the mom-to-be.  I'm loving anything with Scrabble tiles right now, so had to include them on this card. I bought a bag of vintage tiles from Etsy before Christmas, they sure come in handy for lots of projects.  So I'm working on a Baby Shower pennant banner, as well as Thank You gift tags for the favours.

Baby Shower Invite

 

I'm working on a sample right now for a co-workers baby shower invitation. This is what I came up with. I was so happy she asked me to make her invites and I couldn't wait to order some baby stamps! This cute little onesie is from the Baby Tees Jumbo Roller stamp. I've never been into the roller stamps in the past, but I'm starting to really like them! Especially this one, there are 5 different onesies on this wheel, perfect for cutting out! My friend is having a baby girl, so she wanted lots of Pink! She loved the colour combo I chose, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron. 

I hung the little onesie on some linen thread with a cute little Mini Clothespin (only $3.50 for 24) and created a little pennant and tiny tag with 'baby' from the Tiny Tags stamp set. 

Inside I used the stamp set Inviting ...which just so happens to be 50% off right now!!! Regular $26.95 for only $13.48!!! I added a bit of bling with some Dazzling Details....it was still wet when I took the photo...LOL 

If you like this stamp set and want to get it at 50% off go check out all the deals for the Online Extravaganza on now until November 30!! Don't wait too long! Click below to go to my Online Store and start shopping now!

Baby Hat with Flirtatious Designer Fabric

I designed this adorable baby hat for a co-worker who's expecting a baby girl this February. I'm so excited she's asked me to make her baby shower invitations too!  I bought the brown crochet hat from a local company called Little Hoot, hopefully sometime I'll learn how to crochet a hat! So far I've given up on a scarf, it's now a braclet..LOL  
The flower is made up of layers of the Flirtatious Designer Fabric cut with the Fun Flowers Die on the Big Shot, a little crochet flower and 2 buttons.

 I also strung through some Pretty in Pink Polka dot scallop ribbon around the crown of the hat.

Curious George was happy enough to model my hat for you all! Enjoy!

'Cute' Baby Banner Card

Here's the third and final card of my Open House Make n'Takes...

We used all 5 of the new In Colours: Base is Wisteria Wonder, pennants are Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, and Lucky Limeade!
We stamped our cute pennants with the Pennant Parade stamp set, then punched them out with the ever-so handy Petite Pennant Punch. Then I punched little holes on each pennant with the 1/16" Handheld punch (a must-have for stringing banners!!) Then we strung them together with the White Baker's Twine. The 'cute' letters are from the Sweet Shoppe alphabet set.

My friend Kirsten's daughter Madeleine (age 4) did such a great job (with a little help from me...) She was so happy to show off her hard work! Such a good little stamper!
