RUBBER DUCKIE...

EVEN THOUGH MOST OF MY CHILDREN ARE GROWN, I STILL LOVE SEEING THE SESAME STREET CHARATERS (THEYRE SO CUTE)...AND NOW I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING ALL OF THEM WITH MY SOON TO BE 1st GRANDBABY!

I made this card for two challenges that are going on right now...The first is for the challenge over at sendasmile4kids.blogspot.com, their challenge is "Birthday Fun For Kids" and the other is over at  diecuttindivas.blogspot.com, their challenge is "Summer colors" and you have to make use of the following colors...red, orange and yellow.

Ernie and friend!

For this card I used the following cartridges and measurements.  Sesame Street Friends-

Ernie #1 (pg 52), cut at 5 1/2 inches, 1-2-3-4 and 5/icon (pgs 68, 69, 70, 71 and 72), cut at 1 inch and Plantin SchoolBook-sentiment (mixed letters), cut at 3/4 inch.

I really enjoyed making this easel card and it is pretty straight forward to put it all together.  I made a mat for the sentiment that measure, 5 1/2" x 5 3/4" (green) and 5"x 5" (white) added two buttons to keep the card positioned and centered the words.

I cut a 6" x 6" square (white) and mounted a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square (green) onto it...and from there, I placed Ernie in his proper spot and adhered the numbers around him.   Oh, and the little duck was given google eyes!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and having a look.  Kathie

B is for baby...Side step card

Thought Id try my hand at something Ive never made before and leave my comfort zone, so I decided on a Side step card!  I must say that I really enjoyed it and see myself making more of these cards in the future.

Y (pg 56), cut at 2 1/2 inches.  I also used this cartridge for the squares (pg 73), cut at 1 1/2 (twice), 2 inches and 2 1/2 inches.

Baby album...a work in progress

My husband and I are going to become grandparents for the first time and I wanted to make
something special for my daughter, so her and her husband will have something to remember all of the first's and special moments in their little ones first year of life!

Like the title says...this is a work in progress, so Ill be posting new pages as they are finished.

Special Delivery

For this layout I used the following cartridges and measurement.   Sugar and Spice-stork, cut at 4 1/2 inches and Pooh and Friends-grass icon (pg 29) various sizes to give some depth.  I also cut the mats from matching colored cardstock for easy placement of the photo.

                                                                    Splish Splash!

On the rubber duckie layout, I used the following cartridges and measurement.  Sesame Street and Friends-duck (pg 71) cut at 4 1/2 inches, Sponge Bob-bubbles (pg49) icon/shadow, cut at 3/4 and

1 1/4 inches and Sugar and Spice-Bath Time, cut at 3 inches.  I also used Glossy Accent and glitter on the bubbles.  Again, using matching colored cardstock for the photo mat.

                                                                                

                                   

                                                                              

                                                                     Sweet Dreams!

Here are the cartridges and measurements I used on the Bed Time layout.  Country Life-sheep

(pg) 41, cut at 2 1/4 inches and Sugar and Spice-Bed Time/moon and stars, cut at 2 inches.  I decided

to make the sheep in pink and blue, since we dont know what the baby will be yet..besides, CUTE!

I also used Glossy Accent on the stars and the lambs legs/ears.  Oh, and I used mini brads for the

little eyes.

                                                                           

                                                             Hap, hap, happy Easter!

And on the final layout for today, I used the following cartridges and measurements.  Easter 2010-

eggs, cut at 3/4 inches and Pooh and Friends-Piglet (pg 41) cut at 5 inches, fence (pg 30) cut

at 4 inches, grass (pg 29) cut at various sizes and clouds (pg 16) icon, cut at various sizes.  I used

Glossy Accent and glitter on the eggs to give a little sparkle and like the other mats, I used matching

colored cardstock to post the photos. 

*For the Piglet layout, I made a card using this design last year for an Easter card and decided that I

liked it so much, that Id have to use it again sometime...Now is sometime and I think itll look sweet

in the babys album.
