CWC #92 - It's HOT Outside!

Today is challenge #92 over at CWC.. It's HOT Outside... (celebrate fun things to do in & around water). I made this Pool Baby layout using the Pack Your Bags cart.


I love this cart it's got all sorts of great cuts for summer time and vacations, beach trips, swimming, cruises, plane trips, car trips etc etc. Anyway.. I did both cuts from the same page and added some Stickles to give them a little shine!



I added stickles to the baby's swim suit in the title as well as dots around parts of "BABY". This is popped off the page with pop dots.


this cut as stickles on the eyes, in the water around the baby and in the water inside the inner tube.

I hope you like my layout and consider joining in the fun with us this week at CWC!

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

CWC #91 First day of summer (LATE :( )

I CANNOT believe I didn't have this up. I just got back from vacation and things have been crazy and just now got a chance to check this. I could have swore I had it all schedueled to post and everything.. go figure my very first time missing a post I'm so ashamed of myself I cannot express it enough. I'm very sorry to everyone especially Melin and all the CWC DT! Very very very sorry! Ugh! I'm so mad at myself.

Ok onto my project ...


I made this tag using 3 birds on parade for the grill and plantin schoolbook for the tag. All of the paper is recollections. I added some twine for the sun and some stickles around the clouds.

Hope you like it sorry its late!! Also hope you'll join in the challenge with us at CWC.. first day of summer!


Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

CWC #89 Graduation/ End of School Year

This week the CWC challenge is Graduation/ end of school year. I made this graduation card using the Happy Graduation and Plantin Schoolbook carts.


I used both the star cuts from plantin schoolbook and the graduation cap from happy graduation as stencils and used silver ink to put both onto the black cardstock.


I cut out some red and light red polk-a-dot paper and put it on the side and then put the black card stock with the cap over it.


I added some red bakers twine over the red paper and then put some on where the tassel would go. I also added some to the tag I cut out by hand in both white and red card stock. I hand wrote congrats on the tag. I also inked around the edges of the black card stock.

Hope you'll come join in the fun with us over at CWC this week!

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Wanted Sign





I made this awesome Wanted sign for my nephews 4th birthday party.. (cowboy themed) And it was used as a photo prop.. we held it up and took pics of the kids inside it... along with mustaches, which I also made and will show you on another day!

My lil Harmony... Wanted for being too super adorable
My lil Jayden... wanted for being ridiculous lol

And of course the Birthday boy.. Gryphon :) Wanted for getting too old :(

I used a cardboard box (my husband cut it for me) and I cut the letters and numbers from the Old West cart in brown card stock. I adhered it to the sign where I wanted it. Then I inked around the edges with dark brown ink to make it look all you know.. old lol!

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!
