12 Tags of 2012 - April

This is my version of Tim Holtz April 12 Tags of 2012.

I didn't have anything except the ink for this one.  The tag was cut using the Sizzix "Tim Holtz Alterations die - Tag & Bookplates".  I didn't have the background stamp so I used a paper with writing.  I didn't have embossing folder so I used  2 Spellbinders Nestabilities, "Scalloped Ovals".  The branch was cut from Tim Holtz Alterations "Mini Branch & Leaf Set" die, I cut two and glued them end to end.  The bird was cut from Tim Holtz Alterations "Caged Bird" die.  I used several different ink colors.  It was fun trying to figure out what to use for this one.  Really liked using all the different inks and blending them together.

Birthday Banner

This is a banner that I made for a special little lady for her 6th birthday. She loves the books "Fancy Nancy", so she is having a "Fancy Nancy" birthday party.

The banner was made using the Cricut and the Gypsy, The banner triangle was cut using the "Mother's Day 2010" cartridge, the flowers were cut using the "Mother's Day Bouquet" cartridge, and the letters were cut using the "Hello Kitty Font" cartridge. Her name is also in the banner (wanted to keep it private). The images used was from the Making Memories "Fancy Nancy" diecut package. Can't wait for her to see it.

Senior Year Play layout

This is a 2-page layout I made for my GN, she is in a play called "The Diviner's". I don't know much about this play except it took place awhile ago so I used the lace and pearls on this one.

The font I used is from a Cricut's Gypsy Font. I used dimensional to pop the letters out. The center flower was made using the McGill's punch "Star Lily". The bottom of each photo mat was punched using the Martha Stewart border punch "Embroidery". I added ribbon and flat back pearls.

Box Double Mini Album

This is a mini album that I made following "creativecafegirl"'s youtube channel. She does some great work. I found this to be a very easy and fun mini to make. The paper was some paper that I found on clearance at Michaels and knew when I saw it that I had to make a mini for this paper.

This is the outside front of the mini. The paper is by K&Company called Susen Winget Speciality Paper.


This is on the inside of the outer flap. I did not decorate it until I decide what pictures I want to put in it.


This is one of the mini albums I used a butterfly theme inside and out.


This is the 2nd mini album. The outside is covered with dragonflies so I added a dragon fly to the inside.

This video shows more of the mini.

Senior Year Layout #2

This is another layout for my great-nieces senior book. She was in their school play "Cinderella". I wanted to have several places for pictures.



This is a 2 page 12x12 layout. The images were cut using the Gypsy and the Cricut with the "Disney - Princesses Happily Ever After", and the title was cut using " Blackletter" cartridge. The edge for the photo mats were cut using the EK "Diamond Lace" border punch.

Senior Year Layouts #1

My niece asked is I would help with making my great-niece a scrapbook for her senior year of high school. She will be graduating from Independence High School in Columbus Ohio this June.

The first page I think will be her opening page of her book. Their colors are red, white and blue. Their mascot is the 76er. I used a printed background and added Stickles to the fireworks. I found the 76er and printed it out on white cardstock, then added glitter using the Spica marker. The letters were cut using the Gypsy and the Cricut. The cartridge used was Base Camp.

For homecoming she and her date wore black and silver. I made a 2 page layout for this one. On the first page the flowers were made using several methods. I used the Cricut, the Slice, and different punches. The letters were cut with the Gypsy and Cricut from the Base Camp cartridge. The photo mat was cut using the Martha Stewart punch-around-the-page "Swirling Lace".


The second page I added butterflies using the Martha Stewart punch "Monarch Butterfly" and the Movers and Shapers die "Mini Butterflies Sets". I added a bead of Beads in a Bottle under the wings to make the wings stand up. The flourishes were cut from glitter paper using Tim Holtz Alterations die "Elegant Flourishes" and Sizzix die "Flourish". I also cut the edges of the mats with the Crop-A-Dile Corner Chopper "Deco" edge.
