Good Morning!  Christi here from Scrapping For Tranquility here with another collaboration post with 12 X 12 Cardstock Shop  and Dreaming Tree.  I don't know about you but I get soooo excited to bring the two together every month!  12 X 12 has the best cardstock and Dreaming Tree has the best 3D SVG's so it is one of my highlights every month to do a special file for you all!

This month, with Mother's Day fast approaching, (Do you believe it is February already?) we decided to  make 2 of the 3 items from the Ladies Only SVG Bundle .

Here is the cardstock I used from 12 X 12 Cardstock shop:



I decided to take on the hat and stand first.  This is called a Fascinator Jewelry Tray .  I started off and was going to use some beautiful Floral Cardstock for this but my Cameo is on it's last leg and it skipped a beat and cut wrong so I decided to do it all in the plaid.  I really loved how it came out.

Next I made the Blooming Bag.


This doubles as a gift box or even for a gift card.  Again, I was really happy with the way it came out also.  If you take a closer look you will see I put Pearls by Encore , that we carry, in the loops of the Gold Lace.  I had in my stash these bluish butterflies and thought they set everything off well so I put them on the bows of the Hat and purse.

Here is a look at them both:


I hope you enjoyed our collaboration this month and I will see you again next month!

TV Watching

Good Morning PPC Fans!  Christi here from Scrapping For Tranquility.  
I want to share a layout of my youngest grandson, Lachlan, when he was just over a year old, watching his favorite Educational programs.  He so loved those shows.


If I allowed him to, he could stand in one place for hours .  LOL  Finally I got him to sit down by lowering him manually to the ground.  LOL

When I noticed he was in the onsie t-shirt, I just had to make the Sweet Baby Boy Banner Set.  It is also Onsie t-shirts and comes in a girl version also.  I just thought this was the cutest thing!  I decided to go with the pastels of baby colors since , in my eyes, he was still a baby at just over a year.



Next using the Baby Blocks Capital Alphabet Set & the Baby Blocks Lowercase Alphabet Set, I spelled his name out on the side.  

Under my photos I made a doily set from Miss Kate Cuttables.

Here is a 2nd look at my project completed:


I enjoy making layouts for all my family and Printable Cuttable Creatables helps me do just that by supply my paper piecing in all my needs.  Come take a look!

The Files I used from Printable Cuttable Creatables are as follows:

Grandparents Day For Jaelyn

Good Morning !  Christi here from Scrapping For Tranquility here with a fun layout I did of my granddaughter on Grandparents Day.



Jaelyn was thrilled her Great-great grandparents came, my mom and dad, so I took a lot of photos.  I am very glad I did for this was the last Grandparents day they would attend.

I started off wanting to use the Lil Crayons Pencils Banners for the colors  I could match them with the Grandparents frame they were holding.  Then I decided to find a small enough font to make it my title.

From there I also knew I wanted to use the One Smart Cookie SVG for Jaelyn's teacher had made that her theme for her class that year.



When said and done, I was very happy with the layout and how much it memorialized so many things that were important that day.  That is what scrapbooking is really all about isn't it?



Have a blessed day and leave me a message and let me know why you scrapbook.

Hello PCC Fans!  Christi Here from Scrapping For Tranquility.

Here as promised to show you how I make a twisted or side easel card. 


Here is the birthday or celebration one I made for today.

you want to start with a 81/2 in X 4 1/4 IN piece of card stock.

Taking the piece of cardstock you just cut and score it at 4 1/4 in.


using a pattern paper you want to cut 2, 4 IN squares.  One for the base of your card and one for the back top of your card.  This is the side that will be folding over.


The one on the back of the card needs to be cut from corner to corner.

You want to score from the top right to bottom left  of the top of the card. you have now made your fold over for your easel card.

Taking anything to do with your card , in my case was the presents, and pop them up with pop dots and that will hold your easel card up.

Again here is the finished product:


I really am happy with the way this turned out.  I hope you enjoy it also!

Baseball Season

Hello friends of Printable Cuttable Creatables!  Christi here from Scrapping For Tranquility.  

With spring here and everyone loving the flowers popping up and the warmer weather, in our household it is T-Ball, Softball and Baseball Season!  we have four seasons here , Winter, (we call it something else but it isn't very nice so I wont repeat it, lol) Baseball season, Swimming Season and Football season.  What does your household do?  

I made this layout from the year 2000 when my 29 year old was in T-ball.  But this Mawmaw still goes to all 6 of her grandchildren's games!

Larrisa played on the Tigers that year and their colors were orange and black.  Here is the full layout.

TO decide on my papers I always try to mimic the colors in the pictures , if I can.  I used American Crafts, Black, American Crafts White, Orange paper Frills from Doodle Bug and a Checkered piece of black and gray I had in my stash.


I start off making my paper piecings on my Cameo three, Making sure I have everything I like, in the colors I want.  I made the Happy Baseball from Printable Cuttable Creatables.  I just love all PCC's Files!  They are just so versatile and so much fun to make!


 Next up was the Jersey.  I loved this!!!!  Kristin, PRintable cUttable Creatables Creator/owner, Made a front and back to this shirt but you wasn't going to see the back so I made 2 copies of the shirt and made the back visible so you could see what it looks like.  LOVED IT!!!!!

After laying my photos down, Page 2 was now done.


I began page one with taking one of the solid baseballs from one of the files here and made it into a size 5 on my Cameo 3.  This is a background element for my layout.  I then preceded to the crossed bats and ball.

In this photo you can see just a small part of the large element I made for the background with the Crossed Bats and Baseball.



My last piecing I made was the title of Let's Play ball!  I Upsized this 10X it's size for on my cameo it came in sorta small.  You can always resize your pieces if they are not the size you are needing.  Another reason they are so versatile. 

Once my pieces were all made I proceeded to layout and tape down my pictures and pieces on page one.


I am very happy with the way it all came out.  Here again is the whole layout:


Thanks for joining me today and I will see you next time!  Leave a message and let me know what your thoughts are or if you have any questions I would be happy to help.
