Mornin' Yall! How are ya on this Tuesday? I hope you are having a wonderful day so far! Brandon and I have to go and get our drivers licenses renewed this morning...ugh! But it has to be done! First though I wanted to share some new stuff with ya. Mom and I were able to scrap via Skype again on Sunday night and I finished up a layout and a card. I did this layout first. This is my nephew, Carter, playing outside when he was small. He was so cute! It was a nice spring day and he just loved to run around. His little cheeks would get so red and he was just darlin'! I cut the alpha's for the word 'cheeks' out using my Cricut and SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) software. This font is called 'Mr. and Mrs. Popsicle.' It reminds me of a font I have seen on Thickers. All of the patterned paper that you see is Die Cuts With A View. Mom and I split this stack and I love it. It's all glittered and so funky. I believe the stack was called 'Doodlin' Around.' I added some lace, pom pom trim, trim, pearls, and bling. Here is the layout:
"Sweet Cheeks"
Aren't those little cheeks adorable? Tee Hee! Of course, I am partial since I am his aunt, but he is such a doll! :)
To show the dimension of the pleats and trims...
I cut this little owl of some of the patterned paper...
Now, I don't know about yall but I always seem to have SO many scraps when I finish a project. So I think I am going to try something new for a while. I am going to make a card out of my scraps from every layout I do so that my scrap bin does not get so full. It's overflowing now. LOL. I had to do another 'easel' card. I just love doing these. They are so easy and fun! So here is my card made from my leftover scraps....
"Thank You"
I want to thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope you all have a wonderful day and Happy Scrappin'!!!!! See you soon!

What a sweet layout. I like the way you did the title...you creations are always so wonderful. Great card as well!
Love the layout as always! I need to start using more texture in mine, it has such an impact. What a great idea to make a card with the scraps from a layout! There is always leftovers and eveything coordinates so it would really be a time saver too. Thanks.
Love the colors in today's projects!! And of course you knocked the design and layout outta the park, my dear!! love 'em!
Stunning layout and card! What a sweet, sweet picture. Love those cheeks..

Genius!! Love the thank you card.

I love them both!!!! I love the way you do that paper folding. I am going to have to try that. I also think it is so smart of you to use your scraps after you complete a layout to make a card.
Adorable layout and card! I just adore both! I have been trying to do that with little leftover pieces too. I was really good about it for a while. Thanks for the inspiration to start doing it again!
