For my project this week, I used my Cricut and SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) software to make a pear shaped card. I created this pear SVG file and it can be found on my SVG blog if you are interested. Just look to the right on my blog and you will see a link to that. I used the 'Victoria' embossing folder on the pear. I also added some ribbon that my Mom had sent me. It reads...."We make a perfect 'pear'!" on the inside. Here it is.....

Come on over and join us!!!

It's A Girl

It's A Girl! No! Not for me....but I wish! Tee Hee! I have another Cuts 2 Die 4 project to share with you today. I used the 'Little Bo Peep' Silhouette cut to create this door sign. I cut the silhouette out using some blue patterned paper. I then cut out the silhouette with the 'shadow' function on in my SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) with some chipboard and then again twice with some brown cardstock. I used my Crop A Dile to punch a hole and thread some tulle through for the hanger. I added some Making Memories Chipboard and Pink Paislee alpha stickers for the title. Here it is...

The hanging portion is about 6", but I tucked it behind the sign for the picture.

If you would like to purchase this file, here is the direct link for you....

As always, thanks for stoppin' by today!!! I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy Scrappin'!

Survivor Sunday

Hey yall! Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend! Today I wanted to share my projects for this week's Survivor challenge at Tallyscrappers. I used the Treasured Scrapbooking October Card Kit for this page. This week we had to create a layout that was a size other than 12x12. It is an 8x8 page with the die cut paper added to the bottom, but I think I will adhere this to a 12x12 piece of solid cardstock before adding it to an album. Here is the page...

'Livvy'

Also, since I missed last week's challenge (was overloaded and missed it), I had to do a makeup. The makeup this week was to make a card using your scraps from your page. So I made a little 4x4 notecard with my scraps. I thought this would be good tucked inside a gift or something.

That's all from me today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and Happy Scrappin'! As always, thanks for stopping by!!!

A Dress For Brewing Up A Mess

I know! I know! You are thinking...has Aymee gone nuts? Halloween is so over!!! LOL! But I guess it's never too early to get started for next year, right?! Tee Hee! But really, this project is for Cuts 2 Die 4. As I had mentioned previously, this is a new online store for SVG downloads that are used with the Sure Cuts A Lot Software. This sofware is for use with your Cricut Die Cutting machine. I love me some SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot.) I will be sharing projects that I have created using their cuts on a regular basis with you. Since the store is newer, there are not too many files, but never fear....there is so much awesome stuff in store. I will be here to share it with you too!!! Yay! For my first project to share with you, I used a file called 'Vampire Vixen' to make a shaped card. I just loved the dress with this cut! It is right up my alley. Now, this file is located under 'Halloween,' but the dress could be used for any occasion. I added some bling, toile, and pins. Here it is....

Here is the link to where you can purchase this file at Cuts 2 Die 4. Their prices rock too!!!

Time To Be Practical....

Hey yall!!! I hope you are enjoying a beautiful day!!! I am excited to announce that I have been asked to be the Guest Designer at a wonderful blog called 'Practical Scrappers'!!! I am so excited and would like to thank Christine and all the girls at Practical Scrappers for this wonderful opportunity. I am going to be doing 2 challenges with them. If you have never visited the blog, you so need to! So much inspiration and fun challenges! The blog focuses on being practical and using up those supplies that we all have in our scrappy rooms. How fun is that! Here is the link for you....

For this challenge, I was asked to use ribbon 3 different ways on a page. If you know me, this was perfect!!! You all know how much I adore ribbon!!! I can't get enough of it! Tee Hee! For my page, I used 3 different types of ribbon, each in their own way. I pulled most of the papers/embellishment for this page from the October Kit #1 at Treasured Scrapbooking. Here it is...

'Natural Beauty'
Isn't little Olivia just beautiful?!! She is my bff from high school's little girl.

I used staples to hold some orange ribbon that I weaved back/forth. This is a favorite technique of mine. I did a simple tutorial on it a few months back. If you would like to view that, go here...

This cute little birdie ribbon is from Jillibean. I just added a simple knot for some dimension. This ribbon is included in the aforementioned kit.

I used the teal ribbon for the lacing.

To show some dimension...

So do come on over to Practical Scrappers and join in on this fun challenge!!!!! As always, thank you for stopping by my blog today! Have a wonderful day and Happy Scrappin'!!!!

Just Add Scraps & A RAK

Hey yall! We just had a fun 'Just Add Scraps' challenge over at Treasured Scrapbooking. If you are not sure what this is, I'll explain it for ya. It is so fun! We are given a sketch and challenged to create a layout only using scraps from our scrappy stash. It is a great way to use up those scraps we all have in our scrappy rooms. For this round, I decided to use up some scraps I had leftover from one of my kits at Treasured Scrapbooking. Here is the page I created using the sketch. This is me, Mom, and Carter having some fun at the Crayola Factory in Spring of 08.

I pulled out the Cuttlebug and used it on the strips.

As an added bonus this time, we were challenged to make a card using the leftover scraps from the layout. I did not have too many left, so I created this little mini 3x3 card using the same sketch I used for the LO. It's tiny, but thought it would work well when I need to send out a RAK or something.

And speaking of RAK's....it's been too long since I had one! So how about a RAK today. I have some Urban Lily 'Secret Keeper' Windows chipboard and a Daisy D's CD Minibook up for grabs. All you have to do is be a follower of this blog and leave a comment!!! That's it! I will announce a winner on Friday!!!!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!
