I'm So Cute Lay-out

this baby is just the cutest ever! lol. i just had to scrapbook the pictures for posterity.

the main paper pattern is a beautiful embossed mother goose and humpty dumpty theme. i tore matching patterned papers for color blocking on top and at the bottom. after layering the pics with matching cardstock, i then positioned the big picture in the center upper half, then arranged the mini pictures at the bottom. i wanted the look of a baby's clothelines so i loosely positioned a string on top and attached the ends with snaps. the other embellishments i made, i hung them with a thin blue ribbon and secured them on the clothesline with mini clothespins. for the title, i used transparent gold alphas. a matching two toned colored ribbon on the side balances and completes the lay-out.

materials: k & co paper, the paper company vellum paper, ribbons, brads, inks, etc.

I'll Never Forget Patch Card

this is part of an ensemble. i had many scraps and i couldn't bear to throw them away! so i did a patch up card and coordinated the colors and had two accent points - the tag and ribbon on the side.

the tag is a sticker that's layered on matching lime card stock and topped with layered flowers held together by a single brad. it looks yummy and makes me smile when i look at it especially when i get the blues! it looks better IRL. TFL!

Easter Eggs-travaganza!

even though i might have tons of scrapbooking materials, tools and embellishments that seem to last for a lifetime (tnx to my tolerant dh), sometimes, i just want to use simple but colorful stickers in a dimensional fashion. i always like to challenge myself by being frugally innovative. sometimes the challenge takes the form of doing something stunning using simple materials inexpensive flat stickers and techniques such as hand drawn grass ... of course i'm my biggest fan and my work is a work of love so that's why i said "stunning!" enjoy!

Girly Purse

my invented paper purse. the body is the typical mirrored image trapezoid. the handle was a traced a cigar box handle. the sides were tricky because i wanted it to expand when opened so things can be put inside, so i made my own design with geometrically based scored flaps.
