Embossed Velvet Best Wishes Card

I love these papers from TCP that I purchased at Tuesday Morning.  The velvet is so beautiful embossed.  The paper I used for the card is a shimmer paper.  Just beautiful cards that I gave in sets for Christmas gifts.

Creative Memories Divine Power Palette Hybrid Project

This gift made the recipient cry!  This is mother and daughter.  I scanned the old photos then created a digital layout using the Creative Memories Divine Power Palette.  I also threw in some pins from the Tim Holtz Distressables Embellishments.  I purchased the three disc set at Stamping Buddies on Galbraith Rd for only $30.  What a great deal!  I wasn't as sold on the Alphabet sets but I am glad I have all three. 

Here is a close up of the Prima lace and bling border, that even has little ceramic flowers.  I lined up the one flower with the center of the Divine paper flower.  I layered two flowers digitally.

Some of the quotes are from Grande Dame digital kit from Scrapgirls.  I added some real paper flowers and a bling brad.  I added some extra bling and pearls around the pin and centered a real fleur de leis cabachon on top of a digital button. 

I added this real metal flower by Pebbles and some more bling and pearls over a cluster of buttons and watches from the Tim Holtz Distressables collection and Divine digital embellishments.

The velvet and lace ribbon was sold with the top border of lace, bling and pearls.

The pin printed so realistically.

This is the original digital layout before the hybrid enhancement.

Love this moment! Creative Memories Enchanted layout using Border Maker System

I love this layout and this picture.  It reminds me of the best vacation ever!  And now I am returning to Sandals Grande Riveria in Ocho Rios Jamaica!!!  I did have to pay for this photo.  I ended up buying several from this photoshoot.  There were some great shots!   I used the Enchanted Power Palette including the self adhesive ribbon, sticker letters, paper flowers, printed paper and designer paper.  I also used the Creative Memories black shimmer paper and the Enchanted Photo Album accents and Enchanted Epoxy Stickers.

Here is the close up of the heart and you and me border I made with the Border Maker System.  I added paper behind the hearts to provide uniformity.  I also added the title sticker to the black shimmer paper and added pop dots.

Hana's Birthday Day Card!

Today is my niece Hana's birthday.  14 years ago I assisted my sister with her birth.  Cindy went into labor just before midnight on Christmas Day and I spent all day on my birthday laboring with her.  Unfortunately, Hana didn't emerge until a couple of hours into the 27th! So we don't share a birthday but still the most special birthday I ever had!

Digital Dad Xmas Present: Ugly Christmas Sweater

 

I created this digital project for my boyfriend's dad's Christmas gift.  I used Peppermint Creative's Ugly Christmas Sweater kit.  It just happen to free one day just before Christmas, bonus!!  The patterns were great for the pictures from the 70's.  I spent a quite few hours scanning, a true labour of love of the family preservationist.  I also used a Creative Memories overlay from Wishful on the left hand side and sampled a color from the page in Storybook Creator 4.0.

Creative Memories Noel Digital Layout

I made this digital layout to frame for one of my grandmothers for a Christmas gift.  I started with a Primary Christmas Predesigned Page for four pictures using the orientation I needed.   I used the Creative Memories Noel Digital Kit and the Noel Digital Embellishments to replace the primary paper and embellishments.  I used a Winter Frost overlay and changed the color and opacity.  The quote was a Creative Memories freebie.

Creative Memories Jewel Christmas with Paisley Punch

On this two page layout I used the Creative Memories custom cutting system large scallop circle to create a green mat.  I used the rest of the green paper for paisley punches to mimic the paisleys on page one.

Creative Memories Nordic Layout using Border Maker System

Playing with the brand new Nordic Paper pack from Creative Memories.  I used the new Creative Memories Cricut Cartridge Holiday Frames and Tags to create the banner.  I used the latest Creative Memories border maker cartridge:  Zigzag Diamond.

Creative Memories Fabulous Layout "Laugh out Loud"

In the layout of my neice, I used the Fabulous Power Palette and all the components.  I used the Creative Memories Custom Cutting system large wavy square with a red blad on the outside.  I accented with Enchanted epoxy stickers in the center of the flowers.  White cardstock.

On page 2, I used the border maker system picket fence cartridge and the reverse cut of the first page pink paper.

GDC Ella Blue Collection layouts

I was first introduced to the Ella Blue collection in a class.  I love it! I ran across a bargain and purchase several sheets of this blue and brown line. The background paper is reverse side of the Raleigh paper.   I used the Creative Memories Cutting System to create the piece of paper (Raleigh front side) in the center of the two page spread.  Creative Memories title sticker.  Lace from Hobby Lobby.

I used cuts of the velvet paper to accent the layout.  Miscellaneous buttons and  fabric leaf.
