Birthday cards for Exchange

Here are some more cards I made for a birthday card exchange at the store where I teach- Busy Bees in Newbury Park, California.  

The card is from Silhouette America and I love the way they came out with this bright paper I had in my stash.  

Last SOUS challenge- Wings diecut

We have been having card exchanges the last few months at the scrapbook store where I teach.  First we did birthday cards and then now we are doing general cards like: Thinking of you, Get well, etc.  

For my cards I used the Silhouette America easel butterfly which was quick to cut out 20 of these.  I cut the base in black and then used paper I have had a long time in my stash.  I loved the colors of the paper and perfect for butterflies.  Then I mixed and matched and added pearls to the body.  

The stamp inside says to wonderfully you from thankful me.  There are tiny brads on each side to hold it in place when standing.  

So I am entering this for the last SOUS challenge which is a Wings diecut challenge,  

Thank you to Nanne, Leah and all the DT ladies for this great blog and their great challenges.  

Sad to see the blog stop but hope to see you all and your creations in crafty land.  

Lasting Memories Together theme

It's time for a new challenge theme at Lasting Memories and this month it is Together.  

For my layout I used some Selfies of me with two of my grandkids.  

Nothing better than spending time with grandkids.  

The grandma frames are cut from some old paper I had in my stash.  

The title from Silhouette America and the flowers from my stash.  

Please join us for the challenges this month.  Check out the blog for the Design Team inspiration layouts.  There will be a new challenge each week at Lasting Memories  beginning on Sunday but you have all month to complete the challenges.  

Also DT member Lori is offering up a prize this month.  

Isn't this the cutest paper by Lori Whitlock?  

It's beginning to look a lot like Disney

With the help of some sketch challenges going on right now I completed two more layouts for my 60th anniversary Disneyland album.  

For the first one I used the My Creative Sketches - June Sketch and Simple Stories Paper.  

Here is the sketch 

 
For the second page I used the 

Shop our Stash - sketch and make a card with leftovers challenge
Instead of hearts I used Mickey heads cut at various sizes with my Silhouette.
I also used Simple Stories paper and washi tape.  

I then made a card out of one of the extra Mickey heads.  The tickets are from paper that is matting the pictures on my layout and the bottom is a 4 x 6 card I hadn't used.

I added magic thread to the Mickey head to make it a balloon.

 

YUM Die cut with a view layout

I almost missed posting this for the DCWV stack this month.  I was putting some layouts away and saw it and realized I hadn't taken the picture or posted it yet.  

I created this layout following the sketch and using the stack Vintage Collector which I love.  

I love the vintage look and the soft colors.  I added some word stickers, trim and washi but otherwise all from the stack including the title letters.  

 Here is the awesome sketch.  

The pictures are of my daughter and grandkids are her birthday dinner last month.  

I printed them with my Picturemate Printer so was able to adjust the sizes for the sketch.  

Please send all submissions to meganlloyd(at)dcwv(dot)com by June 29th at noon.

Disney Naptime and On the Go for Let's Get Sketchy

I love doing challenges with sketches and Let's Get Sketchy  has great sketches every week.  

The first one here is from week 3 and I used a Disney theme.  For the circles I used a Mickey and Minnie cut out.  The Naptime title is using my Silhouette and Waltograph.  

I added flowers, washi, and slide frames.  

Here is the sketch I used Let's Get Sketchy week 3 

Next I did a layout of my grandson Micah zonked out in his car seat on the go.  

I used DCWV paper and cut out a car from Silhouette America.  

Let's Get Skettchy   Week 4

Many faces of Micah

Here is a page I created using the sketch from Let's Capture Our Memories  #126

Another great multiple picture sketch which is what I need to get my pile of pictures smaller.  

Actually I should say multiple picture piles.  Don't we all!  

I followed the sketch and cut the pictures into squares.  

 I used some letter stickers for Micah's name and some clear word stickers for the journaling.  

I also added some little dots to go with the sketch and the polka dot paper.
