Kenzie's Birthday layouts done in Bo Bunny Surprise collection

This is the new birthday 

"Surprise " Collection by Bo Bunny.  I saw this at CHA and fell in love with the bright fun colors and embellishments.  I still had pictures of my youngest granddaughter's 2nd birthday party which was the Hungry Caterpillar theme.  Here you can see Kenzie in her Hungry Caterpillar dress made by me and her brother Micah who was only one month in November in his Hungry Caterpillar costume crocheted by his mom.  

Love the easy and quick banner embellishment for this one.  

Everyone having fun playing and eating outside.  

Check out Kenzie's cupcake hat made by mom.

Opening presents and time with papa.  

Check out the caterpillar cupcakes I made and all the food which in the book.  

Here is the invite I made using my Cricut, decorations, gifts for kids, and a cake closeup.  

These pages took no time at all with the colorful graphics and cute embellishments.  I actually did double of each page one for me and one for my granddaughters album.  

Last layouts from crop of grandson for now

Here are the last three layouts I did at a recent crop of my grandson.  

Our cute little Hungry caterpillar (made by my daughter) 

I think Kenzie thought Micah was a new doll for ner.  LOL

Digi Desserts Fridaze at My Paper Crafting

It's time for Digi Desserts Fridaze at My Paper Crafting.  For my project today I made a valentine card for one of my family members that loves turtles.  The digi is from Melin at Paper Crafting World and is called Turtle with Open Arms.  I added a little Valentine sticker so that the turtle is holding a banner.  

Used a MS lace Punch around the page, twine and ribbon to complete the card.  Colored the digi with

my Spectrum Noir markers.  Happy Valentines Day!

We would like to invite some of you to be our Guest Designers here at DDF.

Here's how it will work:

  Each week the Design Team members will select one project from those that have been linked up and invite that designer to be our Guest Designer for a future post.

****To be selected as a guest designer, your Link-up project MUST USE a DIGITAL IMAGE from Paper Crafting World.****

Not only will you be invited to join us, you'll also receive a free image from PCW to use for your Guest Designer project.

We are so excited to add this new idea to our Digi Desserts Fridaze and hope you'll play along with us.  Melin will continue to provide a free digital image each week so, of course, you're welcome to use it for your Link-up project.

BUT WAIT!

We are still inviting all of you to link up your projects using any digi image.  We will continue to use Random.org to select one entry to also receive a free digital image from PCW.

Since this winner is selected randomly from all of the entries, we are asking that you limit your number of entries.  If you use a PCW image, you automatically get entered twice. If your first entry does not use a PCW image and you'd like to enter another project, we ask that you use a PCW image on the second entry. 

The winner of last week's Link-Up party will be announced at the end of this post along with a link to this week's FREEdigi.

Now it's your turn to play along this week.

Just create something using a digital image and link to this post. If you use an image from PCW, you will receive 2 chances to win. If you use a PCW file, please add "PCW" after your name.

   Remember, it's easy to participate in our Link Up because there's a tab on the home page that will bring you directly to this DDF page whenever you're ready to share your project. 
Link Up your digital design for a chance to win a free single image from Paper Crafting World.

Here are a few guidelines:

*Must use a digital stamp image (receive 2 entries if you use a PCW image)
*Only one non-PCW entry per person - your second entry (if you choose to enter more than once)   must use an image from Paper Crafting World.

*Must be a NEW project for this Link Up; no backdated posts, please.

*Must have a link back to this post on your blog.

*Must link your project through Inlinkz and not just your blog.

Happy Craftin!

My Paper Crafting I Feel the Love Challenge

This is my card for My Paper Crafting challenge this week.  This week it is the I Feel the Love Project to support our very own Madison.  This month the project is for Alana who lost her home in Hurricane Sandy in 2012.  You can read all about Alaina and the project below.  

I made my card with the Imagine Word of Mouth Cartridge.  I cut the house and tree twice to pop dot and added some twine and buttons.  

Alana 

I Feel the Love Project for February 2013

21 year old student Alana experienced a devastating loss as the result of Hurricane Sandy when it came to shore in October of 2012.  

She lost her original home, as well as most all of her family home belongings due to this horrific storm.  These included her clothes, her bed, and the home furnishings. 

When Alana returned from school she did not have a home to come back to.  She was able to stay briefly with an aunt before living in a hotel for a month.  The family was finally able to relocate to another home.

When Alana was asked how this storm impacted her she said that she was "scared for my family and for my house."  Alana was forced to stay away for a couple of weeks and she said it made her "homesick."  When Alana was able to go into the area for the first time and see that her family home had been knocked down she said, "I was in shock of what I saw.  It is something I will never forget as long as I live."

I can't imagine losing everything all at once.  That would be very difficult.  We can support Alana and her family.  Words of comfort can go a long way.  With all of the difficulties she has recently experienced, we would like to honor her as the I Feel the Love Project February 2013 recipient.

We recently had a fundraiser to raise money for the I Feel the Love Project.  So in addition to sending hand crafted greeting cards, the I Feel the Love Project will also be sending a gift card to Alana so she can buy some clothes or something for her new home.  There is no obligation or need for anyone else to do this.  It is just something we felt called to do.  

If you would like to be a part of this project...

All you need to do is:

Submit your hand crafted card/s by February 28th to:

Six baby layouts of my grandson

Recently I attended a crop at my LSS and cranked out some layouts of my grandson who was born in October.  After three granddaughters and lots of pink layouts it is really fun to make blue layouts. 

Pictures of the happy family 

This is the layout of my daughter right before she popped.  To make it an interesting delivery she fell and broke her arm the night before she was due.  So the other pics are of her in the Emergency room.  

More pics of the newborn

More to come later.  

BBTB2 Challenge- "Love is in the Air" - Hearts or Cupid

Today for the challenge at BBTB2 my dear friend Brenda is challenging us all to  "Love is in the Air".  .  For your project you are to cut a cupid or heart using your Cricut.  I am really excited to share my project with you.  I made this pull out mini book for a class at the Scrapbook store that I teach at.  The paper is Authentique's Valentine paper. I loved the vintage feel of this paper and the cute little vintage graphics.  I used a stamp set I got from Close to my Heart for the 10 Things I Love about you.  I cut the different hearts and shapes from Elegant Edges and Doodle charms.  Each page has one of these shapes and a number on it so that personal things can be written on it.  

 

I hope you will stop by each of the designers blogs to check out what they have made. Then share with us this week your Cricut projects with cupids or hearts at BBTB2.  

Happy Craftin and Happy Valentines Day
