Pumpkin Layout
 
Since I no longer have babies, the new Babycakes paper pack posed a challenge for me.  I liked some of the papers so had to think outside the box.  I came up with this layout for my daughter of her carving her pumpkin.  The layout is from Magic - Enchanted.  I did use some recently retired items.

September Constant Campaign

You are My Happy


Here are a couple of cards I made using the September Constant Campaign Stamp Set, You are My Happy.  For the first card I used some of my Chantilly leftovers, Chantilly Card Workshop stamp, grey bakers twine and blue sparkles.  For the second card I used Sarita leftovers and pink sparkles.  The patterns are from Make it from Your Heart, Vol 2.
 
 
 
I also made this single page layout using Sarita and Babycakes papers, Sarita Stickease, Slate polka-dot Washi tape and blue sparkles.


October Workshop

HALLOWEEN

~  Friday, October 11  ~  7 pm  ~
 
In an earlier post I mentioned that I was saving some of the papers from the Sarita paper pack to use for a Halloween layout.  I used the goldrush cardstock (1 in the pack, 2 in the kit: I added second from my stash).  I used the Magic layout on page 50 - Spellbound, and the cricut for the embellishments.  My daughter loves it.

September Workshop

Sarita
 
~  Saturday 21  ~  7pm  ~
 
 
This month we will make some of the layouts I made using the Sarita Paper pack.  Pick the one/s you would like to make and bring the necessary supplies.  See you then.
Sarita
 
I made three layouts from this paper packet and still have some left overs that I plan on using for a Halloween layout.  It didn't want the stamp set, but the extra cardstock in the kit (1 goldrush and 2 gypsy) may be handy for some.  I did have to add extra cardstock, mostly colonial white as bases.
 
 
Layout 1.  This layout requires no stamping, and was inspired by extra artwork found on Jeanette Lyntons blog (jeanettelynton.com) for the new idea book.  I added colonial white and gypsy cardstock.
 
Products I used are: 
X7171B      Sarita Paper pack      $9.95
X7171C      Sarita Stickease      $4.95
Z1873      Sarita Assortment      $5.95
Z1686      Cricut Art Philosophy      $99.00
9035      Make It from Your Heart Vol. 1 (#2)      $7.95
 
 

 
Layout 2.  This layout was inspired by the one on page 98 of the current Autumn/Winter Idea Book.  I used the lagoon cardstock as the base and had to add colonial white and gypsy cardstock.  Since the pictures of my daughter have pink in them I added some pink lace B&T from the Lucy Kit instead of the goldrush in the packet.
 
Products I used are:
X7171B      Sarita Paper pack      $9.95
D1555      All the Details stamp      $17.95
D1556      School Years stamp      $17.95
Z1790      Cricut Artiste      $99.00
Z1686      Cricut Art Philosophy      $99.00
9042      Make It from Your Heart Vol. 2 (#7)      $7.95
Z2195      Lagoon ink      $5.25
Z2140      Outdoor Denim ink      $5.25
Z2193      Cotton Candy ink      $5.25
Z1385      Design Ribbon, Blue collection      (retired)
 


 
Layout 3.  This layout was inspired by the one on page 99 of the current Idea Book.  I added colonial white for the base, a little of the pink lace B&T from other layout and some gyspy, sky and ponderosa pine cardstock, again to work with the pictures.  The layout is from MIFYH Vol.2 (#15).  And I just noticed the picture strip on the right page fell off...  opps.
 
Additional products used are:
Z2190      Gypsy ink      $5.25
Z2194      Sky ink      $5.25
Z2105      Black ink      $5.25

July Workshop

For Always Paper Pack

~  Saturday 20  ~  7pm  ~


The For Always paper pack has a classic black and white look with its six B&T Duos papers.  You can add any colour to make stunning artwork.  (This pack comes with Ruby, Slate, Honey and Lagoon cardstock.)  

This month I decided to try something other than layouts for our monthly workshop after seeing the beautiful Artiste File-box & cards Gayle Gross made with this paper pack.  I was inspired to make my own.  They are super quick to make and would make a great gift or just add to your own stash of cards.

BONUS PROJECT

The Bonus Project in this Kit are party favours.  The two on the right I switched stamp to Perfect Fit - Birthday, and the one on the left I used the April SOTM - Sunshine.  If you follow the sample in the Kit, it uses Glitter Paper, which I don't have, and you will need more sparkles to make all 20 favours.

And I made a little 2.5 x 3.5 card (Originals:  Bow Front), using leftovers from Kit and added four copper brads.
