Miss Kate's Cuttables April Guest Designer

Hi Folks! Christi from Scrapping For Tranquility I was Lucky enough to be April Guest Designer for Miss Kate's Cuttables!  I made her Guest Design Team in 2017 and Was VERY excited to make 2018 again!   I just LOVE her files!

Anyhow, this year I choose to do a layout using the following files, Beach Pail and Ball, Beach Bum Title and Summer Set.   I have the most adorable 2 year old grandson , Lestat that was playing in his backyard pool last summer. (yes I am a little prejudice!  LOL)  I had some of the most cute pictures I just had to scrap .  I thought these files fit my layout well .  What do you think?

 This is the completed layout.  Now you have to agree he is cute???  hahaha.  

I used AC Cardstock for all my solids and the Water paper was Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.

Here is some close up of my paper piecings.  This is the Beach Bum Title and the glasses from the Summer Set.

And the Flip flops and lotion is from the Summer Set.

I sure hope you enjoyed my layout and my piecing.   Please leave me a comment and let me know what you thought!  I will be happy to comment back!

Dubble Bubble Gum - The Cutting Cafe

Happy Saturday!  It is Cutting Cafe time!  I made 24 of this particular file for my grandsons class and the kids just loved them!

I think everyone remembers the old Dubble Bubble Gum and this file is just perfect for it.

Dubble Bubble Gum Fun  has sooo many cute tags and background images to use along with this cute little box.  I fit 12 pieces of gum in this one little box.  

Stop by The Cutting Cafe to pick up all the cute files for basically any need!

Cutting Cafe-April 7th- Notepad

It is that time again!  Time for my  The Cutting Cafe post  for the first part of the month.  I missed last month for being ill.  I am back and I can tell you I really missed these challenges! 

Regina, challenged us to take a shaped card this month and turn it into a notepad.  This is what I choose and what I did  and I hope you like it....

 

I used the Fish Shaker Card.  I kept it as a shaker card part for I really liked it as a shaker .  

I used Under The Sea Collection by Doodle Bug Designs for the pattern Cardstock and AC Cardstock for the solids.  I then used Printer paper as my Notebook paper for inside.  My adhesive was Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, E-Z Runner Grand.

Thanks for stopping by and please leave me a comment on what you think!

My Scrap Chick- Camera Gift Box

Where has this week gone?  I can't believe it is Thursday already!  
Today I want to share a My Scrap Chick project I did and fell in total love with!  It is the camera gift box from the Camera Trio Collection.

It was sooo fun to decide how to make and what to use on it.

First I used the This & That Collection from Echo Park for  all the Card stock.  I wanted a vintage camera feel and this seemed to have it.

I Used AC Cardstock for any Solid Cardstock on it.  Then I decided to add a Camera Strap.  I had gotten this wonderful wide ribbon from my Secret Sister for Christmas and it is from Stamping up.  (I can't remember the name I am sorry)  I thought it was PERFECT for a camera strap.  I attached it with a round paper clip and E6000 Glue.

Then wanting to add a Button I found a wooden button and took a copic marker and colored it to match my cardstock .  Then taking a enamel dot to top it off. Of Course If you know me and most of my projects , You know I have to add Trendy Twine!  So to make it match I added some beautiful Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine  around the lens and also made a cute little bow for behind the Prima Flowers I added to the lens to top it off.

I Hope you enjoy my Camera as much as I did making it.  Please leave me a message and let me know what you think!
