How do you define....?

Bo Bunny is using definitions on layouts today! It could be any definition anywhere. Some of the designers chose to put the definition in the title and others as their background. I used my definition in my journaling. I tried to make my journaling look like a definition from a dictionary. Thanks to Merriam Webster online for the actual definition! The examples are all mine :)

 

 

That's my sweet Isabel playing at the beach last summer. She is our little fishy! She loves the water and splashing around. This is her signature "Sea Turtle" pose. That's what she calls it when she swims on her stomach. I think she has been watching too much Dora and Diego!

 

I used Bo Bunny Key Lime  (sounds as yummy as it looks!) papers and embellishments and the Cricut Create A Critter cartridge for my title.

 

I also used American Crafts twine, Staz On ink and an old Heidi Swapp chipboard heart I found at the bottom of my bag. Some may call it fate I found that heart just at that time :)

 

Here's some close ups...

Still celebrating Father's Day

Last week on the Bo Bunny blog we were celebrating Father's Day. Father's Day was the Sunday before and there are plenty of ideas for you to scrap all those pictures you took!

 

I chose to use the new Bo Bunny collection Trail Mix for my layout of my little Isabel and her daddy. She is definitely a daddy's girl!

 

 

I used the Cricut Songbird cartridge to cut my title and mixed and matched some older Bo Bunny stickers to finish it.

 

Thanks for coming by and tomorrow I will have a layout using Key Lime to share!

 

 

 

Tags and banners Bo Bunny style...

Hello, hello,

 

I know it's been a while! No excuses... except.... the usual mom and work stuff. And I have been having great success getting some things published! But that means I can't show them  here, hehe!

 

 

I do have these two new projects to show.

 

This one I created with Bo Bunny PRAIRIE CHIC and the Cricut Songbirg cartridge. LOVE.... the little banners on this cartridge.

 

Here's the two pager.

Close up of the title. I cut the title and banner with the Cricut. I used Cricut Craft Studio to merge the letters together.

 

 

 

And here's some new Bo Bunny fresh out of the box! I used the brand brand new (not even stores yet, new) TRAIL MIX collection. I used the flowers, trinkets and jewels to girly up this kind of manly collection.

 

 

Thanks for coming by!

Cricut Magazine

I am back! I haven't done back to back blog posts in forever!

 

Today I am sharing two projects that were posted in Cricut Magazine and Cricut Idea Book Kids. I used the Create A Critter cartridge on both layouts. My favorite cartridge!

 

The first I created with Nikki Sivils' "It's Raining, It's Pouring" collection.

 

On this one I used Bo Bunny "Zoology".

 

The Ribbon Carousel Nikki Sivils Blog Hop!

Today the Ribbon Carousel and Nikki Sivils teamed up for this fun blog hop!

I LOVED working with the Ribbon Carousel ribbon on this layout! I used the Nikki Sivils "School is Cool" line and four different Ribbon Carousel ribbons I used the red and white for my banner, and the others for the border across my page. I think my favorite is the ruler ribbon for sure! LOVE!

 

I aslo used my cricut and the Birthday Bash cartridge to cut the balloons and the number one.

 

Thanks for hopping over! Have fun on the hop!

 

 

 

Lots of projects today

Whew! It's been a while since I blogged! The summer just got away from me!

I have lots of projects to share today using Nikki Sivils. Enjoy!

Thanks for coming by! Stay cool out there!

Nikki Sivils and Helmar!

Two great companies have teamed up to bring you some great projects- Nikki Sivils and Helmar! Helmar was nice enough to send me a bunch of their supplies to use with my Nikki Sivils paper and embellishments. And nothing goes better with Nikki's products than Helmar of course!

I have been creating all my projects with my Helmar adhesives, but I saved one to share with you today!

I thought Nikki's "It's Raining, It's Pouring" collection was perfect for these photos of Isabel all wrapped up in her towel after her bath. Taking a bath is one of her favorite activites so it wasn't hard to get some smiles from her! I added the little ducky to go with the squeaky clean title. I cut him from my Cricut Expression using the Wild Card cartridge (It is actually a chain of ducks, but I cut one out). Then I punched a bunch of circles for my bubbles. To finish it off I added some glossy accents to look like water splashes.

The Helmar products I used on this layout are: tape runner, liquid scrap dots, zap dots and quick dry 450.

Thank you Helmar!

You can see some more Helmar and Nikki Sivils creations on Nikki's Blog.

Nursery Decor

Hi all! I hope everyone is having a great week and has some fun planned for this weekend! It was too nice to be on the computer yesterday so I decided to save this post for today.

This is an idea for nursery decor or decor for a young child's room. My idea for this came to me while shopping in Land of Nod. If you haven't been to that store before I'll describe it as really, really cute nursery decor, but really, really expensive nursery decor. I was actually shopping at the outlet store, but unfortunately the outlet is just really expensive, instead of really, really. So I saw a framed poster similiar to this, but in blues and greens, probably suitable or a boy or girl's room. I fell in love with it. I had to have it for the girls' room. But it was ripped a little (that's why it was at the outlet store I assume) and still just about $100! Well, I wasn't about to spend $100 for a ripped poster in a cheap looking frame. So here is my version. Mine is smaller (8x10) so I only did the numbers 1-5. The original was poster sized and included 1-10. I am going to do another with 6-10 and hang them next to each other. I used mostly pink colors too because that matches the girls' bedroom. So here it is....

I used only a few sheets of My Little Shoebox patterned paper and white cardstock for this. I cut the numbers with my cricut and everything else was cut out of the patterned paper. The walls in the girls' bedroom are pink so it looks really cute against the pink background. Including the frame my version cost about $6.00.

Thanks for coming by today! Have a great day!

Groundhog's day, Valentine's Cards, Feb. Pagemaps and more

Happy Groundhog's Day! Unfortunately our groundhog was snowed in it's hole under 18+ inches of snow this morning so I guess that means more winter for us :( My husband spent all morning clearing up the snow with our neighbors and now we are all inside enjoying our snow day. I hope your morning wasn't as snowy and messy as mine ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is Valentine's Card Day on the Bo Bunny blog. I made two cards to give to my little girls. This first one is for Frances. She is addicted to Pandas right now.

(supplies: Bo Bunny Crush papers, Bo Bunny Double Dot cardstock,

Bo Bunny Crush 12 x 12 chipboard, bling and ribbon, Cricut Pagoda cartridge.)

I made this one for Isabel. We have two dachshunds to I thought this little guy was perfect.

(supplies: Bo Bunny Crazy Love papers, Crazy Love 12 x 12 chipboard,
Crazy Love Noteworthy, ribbon and bling, Cricut Paisley cartridge)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday I received the February Pagemaps newsletter in the email. I was super excited because the Nikki Sivils DT was asked to contribute for February and I was one of the lucky girls to create a layout. I received this sketch from Becky and I love it! I was so happy to be able to contribute I volunteered for any size. This was my first time making an 8 1/2 x 11 page, but I didn't mind because Isabel's baby book is this size. I created this layout for the front page of her book.

(supplies: Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker Something For Everyone papers, stickers,

buttons and brads, thickers, Jenni Bowlin butterflies, ribbon, pearls, Cricut Give a Hoot cartridge)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lastly the other day I received this super sweet blog award from Paula, aka 'The Scrapbook Speedway'. I can't thank her enough for thinking about me and am more appreciative than she knows. You have to check out her blog too because she is one awesome scrapper!

Along with this blog award I am to tell 8 things about myself so here goes....

1. I love Chai Lattes. I could drink them every morning if they weren't so darn expensive.

2. I love to watch tv. My DVR is always at 99% though because unfortunately I have no time to watch tv.

3. My dream vacation is to go to Alaska. I will make there one day when the girls are older.

4. Pizza is my favorite food and I could eat it everyday. My favorite pizza topping? Pepperoni and spinach of course.

5. Frances was my grandmother's name and is also the patron saint of animals. I love animals and my grandmother took care of me as a little girl. That is where my Frances gets her name.

6. I am terrified of elevators. I will always take the stairs if I have a choice.
7. I go to bed around 9pm every night. I would go to bed earlier if I could, but Frances doesn't always cooperate.
8. I am only 5 feet tall. Yep, I am very short! The shortest in my family. Except for my Grandmother who was shorter than me.

Now I am supposed to pass this on to 8 other bloggers, but honestly I can't choose! So let me think about this a little more.

Thanks for coming by today!

A "Sweet" Valentine's Giveaway

Hi all,

I have a Valentine's Card to share today.

I created this shaped valentine's card using Pink Paislee Sweetness paper and stickers (except the little butterflies). I am so addicted to shaped cards these days! I used the Cricut Songbird cartridge to cut my shaped diecuts and then adhered them to the front of a plain old regular cardstock card base. A plain boring card turns into a cute shaped card in no time!

And I think I promised a give away a few weeks back so here it is. I will pick a random comment from this post to win some Pink Paislee Sweetness papers, rubons, and letter stickers.
