farm animal baby book

My sister asked me to create an 8x8 animal for a friend's baby shower.  The baby room theme is farm animals and yellow so I decided to create something with that theme.  I repeated some of the pages to keep the album more uniform because I didn't want to limit the new parents to what they would want to put on the pages.

I thought the page was a little plain so I decided to add a few snowflake stickers. I think it was a good decision. :)

"Christmas Morning"

The current challenge at The Collectors Cut was to create something to do with recipes. For my project I chose to create a layout with the recipe written around the pictures.

The red paper was handcut using the pattern, the ivory paper was punched using Martha Stewart punches and the title was cut using my Cricut, Gypsy & Paper Lace cartridge.

Hello world!

Hello all! I'm back :)
I've been busy with home remodeling projects and co-chairing the fall book fair at my son's school. A lot of fun but a lot of work.

The Collectors Cut blog has started back up and our first challenge back was to create a shaped card.

Our most recent challenge was to create a Halloween decor project.

Thank you for stopping by!

"life is good"

This week's challenge for The Collectors Cut had me using the Graphically Speaking and Mickey Font cartridges. I saw the "life is good" cut on Graphically Speaking and paired it with the dog bones on Mickey Font to go along with some pics of our dog on Christmas morning.
