Made 2 cards using HSN new folders

Today I stayed home from work due to the nasty weather.  So I thought I would post them and show them to you.  I used the new Romance Folders that HSN was selling for the CuttleBug.  So here they are:
this one is using the Queen of Hearts.  I used Cor'dinations and sanded it and then punched out hearts with a pink polka dot paper and placed them with a pop up dot above the hearts.  My son will love this.

I made this one using the flourish folder and used white cardstock then went over with red ink pad to accent what was embossed.  I then added red bling to accent the swirls.  Around the flourish I put a red & white polka dot, ruffled ribbon to make a frame.  It really looks better in person.

Bailey Loves Me

I have done several layouts about Jager and Bailey isn't around, so I thought it is his turn.  He even sat in the same chair that Jager sits in.  I took about 40 shots to get about 5 good shots of him and his many faces.  I did this for a challenge from ScrapFit that was to scraplift a layout from a DT.  Amyee did a quilt challenge (called Bundle Up) for a weekend crop (Winter Wonderland Crop) and this is where this idea came from.

What I got to work on during "ME" time.

Well on Saturday I decided to give myself some "ME" time and came up with these 2 layouts.  I hope you enjoy this.

This layout was done for the favorite photo's of 2009 at Treasured Scrapbooking.  It was hard to select the ones I really liked.  I picked family times, places we have gone and the dogs.

This one is for a challenge over at Unscripted Sketches #38.  I turned the sketch once I printed it out and saw it immediately.  We joke that Bailey needs to go on a diet, well when he was having trouble going through his doggie door -- it is offical he is dieting.  The pictures go in order, and I had to run inside and outside.  With him being kinda stuck I had plenty of time to do this.  The title is :
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Reasons to Diet  (so appropriate).

I use TomBow Adhesive to make layouts and cards

Hello,
I had a busy weekend creating some layouts and a card.  There were several weekend crops and I did a few besides other things that needed to be done.

Here are the layouts I did for Treasured Scrapbooking.  The challenge was to do a layout using white background.  I tried something new with the ribbon on the side and it came out perfect and added so much.
Next I did a layout about Disneyland and added buttons to make them look like Mickey Mouse.  The challenge was to use 10 of something and I used 12 buttons.


Last i decided to Step Outside of my Box with that challenge and use the new sewing machine I got for Christmas.  I wanted to start small so I decided to make a card and since Valentines day is coming that is what i choose. 




Last I tried a challenge on ScrapFit and it was to have a Disney like title or theme.  So I took my nightime picture of the castle and put it in a frame.  I used Mickey as my inspiration and had fun with it. 






Now for all these layouts and cards I want to tell you I use TomBow.  I am entering these into a contest sponsored by them.
