"Groovy Girl" Scrapbook Page

Well, another Friday has arrived.  This one in March.  Can you believe it?  March, already?  We finally had a snowstorm here in Massachusetts, but it was followed by rain so we have no white, fluffy stuff on the ground.  I'm wondering whether this is the year for another April Fool's Day storm.  :-)  I'm hoping not!!

Today I'm sharing a layout I made for a few challenges.  The one over at Exploring Cricut caught my eye.  It's theme is "NO Business Like Show Business" and the project entry must be based on a movie night, concert, recital, play or based on a movie or song.  So I thought about it for a few days and an idea came to me while I was driving and heard the song "Feelin' Groovy" by Simon and Garfunkel on the radio.  My 8 yr-old daughter is all into peace signs, hearts, flowers and butterflies these days.  She has a disco ball and a lava lamp.  Last week, my Mom took her to have a purple feather put into her hair.  Her girlfriends seem to be following the trend as well.  So I made this scrapbook page for my "Groovy Girl".  I took a picture of my daughter with her new purple feather wearing her favorite purple peace shirt, but it didn't come out as I had hoped.  But there's a space waiting for a better one.  :-)

I based the colors (purple, green and turquoise) on the current Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday - their 100th!!  I'm pretty pleased with it.  The page is pretty colorful and fun...like my daughter! 

I'm entering this page into 7 challenges:

Die Cuttin' Divas' Challenge #54 - Recipe Challenge - Use a die-cut and fabric, feathers and/or flowers on your project.  I used two big flower die-cuts and two felt butterflies on my page.

"Would You Be Mine?" Eeyore Valentine's Day Card

Happy Sunday!  I hope you all had a fun weekend.  Mine was busy with multiple basketball games, a visit from my parents and a cub scout banquet.  Good times. 

Just a quick post tonight.  I made this Valentine for my niece who will turn 4 in April.  She adored a musical Eeyore toy that we gave her two Christmases ago, so I figured she'd like this too.  Who doesn't love Eeyore?  Especially Eeyore with this expression??  The sentiment was computer-generated and the sentiment banner was popped up using a technique I learned from Fantabulous Cricut here.  Love how it looks....I'll be doing it again.  :-)

Recipe

Heart and shadow - Cricut Doodlecharms; hearts welded to make shaped card with my Gypsy

Eeyore - Cricut Pooh and Friends

Patterned Paper - Momenta "All Through the Year" paper stack

Cardstock - Recollections

Sentiment - computer-generated

Twine - The Twinery

Recollections dimensionals

B is for Boy can be for a Girl too! Valentine's Day 3x3 Card

Another Friday already?  Well, I most likely won't be posting again this weekend because of a busy Saturday (basketball, birthday party, sports photos and more basketball) and the Super Bowl on Sunday.  Woot, woot!  I'm sure you're all going to be cheering on our Patriots, right??  Let me hear you yell 'GO PATS'!!

Ok, ok. Today's post is a cute little Valentine's Day card I made for my 8 year-old daughter. She saw a pink sock monkey at a store last week and announced that although all three of her brothers have one, she doesn't. "Why don't I have one?" I really couldn't answer. Her brothers received theirs at different times as gifts. So, I decided to make this card so that she can have one of her own.  Well, sort of.  :-) 

I had to make it in pink, her favorite color.  I cut the sock monkey and the postage-stamp background shape from the B is for Boy cartridge.  I guess 'B' can also be for 'Girl'.  :-)  I added lots of little details - the red glitter paper for the sock monkey's heart, mouth and hat, the glittered heart-shaped brads, the red ribbon, the maraschino twine and the pink pom pom.  Can't glam it up enough for my girl!!  The card is a 3x3 size for the Fantabulous Cricut's Valentiny Card challenge.  I don't recommend cutting the sock monkey smaller than  2 3/4 inches!!  The eyes were too small to cut, so I used the pieces left over from the interior of the letter 'B' on my black EK Success bubble letter set.  Fit perfectly!

Rockin' Cupcake - Valentine's Day Card for a Cause

Hello again!  Yup, it really is me again!  When I saw the call for cards during the Cards for Kids Valentine's Day blog hop hosted by Faith Abigail Designs, I knew I had to make a card for a hospitalized sick child.  My little one spent a week in the hospital following a life-threatening allergy attack a couple of years ago.  He loved getting cards from friends and family, so I thought it was only fitting to spread the joy.  :-)

I used this week's sketch at Card Patterns and the cupcake from the Rock Princess Cricut cartridge (thanks Claire!!).  I replaced the eye patch with a heart-shaped one and added a bit of bling, the glittered heart, to it.  The sentiment was computer-generated and the label and the scalloped card shape were both cut from the Birthday Bash cartridge.  The face is from the Peachy Keen 'Wide Eyed Kids' set - one of my faves.  A bit of twine and some embossing and it's good to go!  Thanks for looking!

How fitting today! Snow! Winter Scrapbook Page

Hi again, today I'm posting another scrapbook page.  The picture is from 3 years ago...and my kids look so little!  They LOVE the snow and that's a good thing because about 3 inches of the white, fluffy stuff fell here last night and about 5-7 inches more are predicted for tomorrow morning.  I feel that if it's going to be cold, then it may as well snow so my kids can enjoy it.  They've been waiting for weeks to pull on their snow boots.  I know what they'll be doing when they come home from school today!

I started with the sketch from the current challenge over at the GO Fish challenge blog.  Found some great paper from the DCWV Holiday stack (love the greens!), pulled out my Cricut and cut the "winter" word art and the squirrel.  Couldn't help giving the squirrel a pink hat...to match my daughter's pink jacket in the picture.  :-)

On the Hunt - Easter Layout

Hi everyone!  Where did the weekend go?  We lost an hour with Daylight Savings...but I'm not sure where the other 47 hours went!  I hope you all spent it doing something fun.  :-)  I finished a scrapbook page this weekend...a little here and a little there.  It felt a bit like spring here (yippee!), so I was in the mood to scrap springtime pics.  These are from Easter 2006...my daughter was 2 1/2 years old.  And with her hat, she looks like Marlo Thomas in the intro to "That Girl".  LOL  Remember that? 

I kept the colors soft, like those in the pictures.  And I had fun finding a tree to use...there must be dozens of trees on Cricut cartridges!  I finally decided on one from Serenade...and I think the polka dot paper gives it a springy feel too.  I used two different Cuttlebug folders on the tulips, added a bit of bling around the scalloped circle and some lime green stickles on the butterfly.  What do you think?

Recipe

Tree from Cricut Serenade; sized to fit with my Gypsy; cut twice

Tulips from Cricut Simply Charmed

Butterfly from Cricut Create a Critter; cut wings twice and popped up one

Title 'on the' from Cricut Gypsy Font; welded with my Gypsy

Title 'hunt' from Cricut Birthday Bash; welded with my Gypsy

Scalloped circle from Cricut Mini Monograms

Patterned papers - My Mind's Eye 'Bloom & Grow'; Basic Grey 'LilyKate'; SEI 'Chick-a-dee'

Cardstock - Bazzill textured; Recollections

Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls, Herringbone embossing folders

Scrappy Moms Terrific Tuesday Challenge - B is for Boy/Sugar & Spice - Create any project using the Cricut Lite cartridges B is for Boy or Sugar & Spice, or a similar cut if you don't own either of these.  I don't own any Lite cartridges, so I used Simply Charmed for the tulips which look similar to the tulips on Sugar & Spice.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Happy Birthday to Ewe! - Shaped Card for a 7th Birthday

Hello!  Drip, drip, drip...what's that sound??  It's heaven!  Well, not really, but close enough!  It's the sound of snow on our roof melting and dripping to the ground....yea!  I can't tell you how good it feels to see the sun...it's so bright right now...even though it's only 38 degrees outside.  My mood is much brighter too!  :-)  Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

Today I'm sharing a shaped (yes, another!!) birthday card I made for a classmate of my twins.  I thought I'd use my Birthday Bash cartridge for the occasion...imagine that!  :-)  I got a kick out of this sheep...blowing a noisemaker...how funny!  And it's really a perfect match since the birthday girl is a really funny child too....I think she'll like this.  The image in the handbook has the number '2', but I hid that cut with my Gypsy and pop dotted up the '7' instead.  I thought the striped paper and googly eyes would liven her up a bit...what do you think?...good choice?

Recipe

Snow Tubing Fun - Scrapbook Layout

Hi everyone!  Well, school winter vacation is coming to an end and my kids are pretty much exhausted.  We've had a week full of activities and now they're doing all the homework and projects they've put off for the last 7 days.  And I'm tackling the laundry!  :-) 

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page I made of some pictures I took of my kids and their Nana snow tubing this past week in New Hampshire.  The kids LOVED that Nana went tubing with them...and loved EVEN MORE that she screamed all the way down the hill...every time!  I squeezed quite a few pictures onto this page.  In hindsight, I should have done 2 pages.  But I'm very excited that I finally had a chance to use my new Peachy Keen stamps...the Critter Faces...to make four penguins, one for each of my kids.  Aren't they cute?  I was thrilled to find a PK stamp with glasses since my middle son wears them...isn't his penguin just adorable?  Oh, I'm going to have fun playing with these!

Winter Bunny Shaped Card - "Pure and Simple"

This week's challenge at the CropStop Challenge Blog is called "Pure and Simple".  The challenge is to use only white or off-white with either black or brown only for stamping.  Yikes!  I love color and I've never made a card using just white.  So I pondered this for a day or so and finally came up with an idea (it came to me in the shower...ideas often do...this is strange, isn't it?).  Since winter and snow have been on my mind lately (my house is buried in white stuff!), I thought a winter white bunny might be appropriate...so here he is.

The bunny is from the Cricut Winter Woodland cartridge, a real gem.  So many pretty images on this one.  I welded two of the bunny's shadows together with my Gypsy to form the shaped card.  Another shadow layer cut in gemstone cardstock (can you see the sheen?) was placed on top.  Then the head/ears and leg layers were cut, embossed and popped up on top of that.  It was certainly simple....I spent much more time thinking about this card than I did making it!  "Warm Wishes" is stamped inside....I could use many of these!!

Recipe

Top layers embossed with Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls folder

I'm also entering this card into this week's  Challenge Me Monday #47 at Fantabulous Cricut: Weather Forecast - make a project featuring your favorite seasonal weather.  I've been complaining incessantly about the weather lately because this winter has been unusually difficult.  I acually love the winter...watching the snow fall (in small doses!), ice skating, sledding, building snowmen with my kids, watching them get rosy cheeks, drinking hot cocoa and snuggling together under a warm blanket...just can't beat it!  :-)

Enjoy the day!

Winnie the Pooh Valentine Shaped Card

Happy Friday!  Well, that forecasted 5-10 inches of snow turned into a foot...and I have pictures to prove it!  We haven't had snow like this in years.  I heard that this is the 3rd snowiest January on record in Boston...we KNOW snow!  :-) 

I've had a chance to continue working on Valentine's Day cards for my kids.  My 7 yr-old son ADORES Winnie the Pooh.  My brother gave Daniel a big ol' stuffed Pooh for his 2nd birthday and Pooh has pretty much become the 7th family member in our house.  He frequently joins us at the breakfast table, has to wear a seat belt in the car and somehow flew with us from Boston to DisneyWorld a few years ago.  And Pooh is not small....here he is with my Daniel at age 2...and again last winter at age 6...inseparable!

So it only took me a second to figure out what I'd make for Daniel for Valentine's Day...here it is.  :-)  The red cardstock is very shimmery...perfect for the larger heart.  And the yellow layer of the smaller heart is a felt heart I found in a package at our local dollar store.  The color was a perfect match to Pooh.  I used Glossy Accents on the honey...looks gooey, doesn't it?  The inside is stamped "Happy Valentine's Day".

Recipe

Winter Fun Layout using Winter Woodland and 3 Birds on Parade

Hello...and happy Saturday!  I'm so happy to be posting a scrapbook page today!!  I share a resolution with many of you - to get more pages done - and this is my first of the year.  Whoo hoo!  I hope to have another one completed by Tuesday.  The pictures I scrapped are from last February during my kids' school vacation.  We spent a few days at my parents' house in New Hampshire sledding and snowboarding in their yard.  They have a hill behind their house that's perfect for the kids.  It was a beautiful day and the kids all had a blast in the yard.  They made the cutest snowman too.  Do your kids love playing in the snow?  Mine would stay out all day if I let them! 

I used 3 Birds on Parade for the snowball-throwing bird...isn't he a cutie? The snowflakes are favorites of mine from Winter Woodland. I used a fine glitter on them...and added some blue rhinestones...I love the look. :-) The layout came from the January 2010 PageMaps. I often use their layouts...I find them to be a great starting point for me. Getting started is usually the most difficult part!

2 in 1: A Gift Tag and An Ornament

I made these skates for my sister-in-law who loves handmade, crafty goodies.  She is extremely generous and thoughtful and always gives the most original gifts.  She skated quite a bit as a girl, so I thought these would be perfect for her.  I plan on using these as a gift tag on my gift for her, then she can hang them on her tree if she chooses.  I wrote 'To:' and 'From:' on the back in white gel pen.  I love the look of the glitter on the blades and the bow/laces.

An Ornament Shaped Card with a bonus...or two!

Yup, the two little bonuses are my 7 year-old twins.  This picture was taken on Thanksgiving Day...they were very (extremely, really!) happy to spend the day at their grandparents' house.  Nothing like a bit (a LOT, really!) of spoiling!  It didn't matter to them that dinner came with a boat load of vegetables...they were hanging out with their Nana...and nothing beats that! :-)  We're going to send this ornament card to Nana and Papa to thank them for a wonderful Thanksgiving and for inviting the twins to stay over for a few days by themselves to help decorate for Christmas.  I hear there was lots (tons, really! he he he) of chocolate involved!  ;-)
