SOUS: Die Cut Flower

Treasure Box Designs
Hello SOUS fans! For this Friday's challenge we are to make a die cut "flower" on our project. Today I am sharing with you a card I made for my mom. I know it's a week late, but *shrugs*. I had so MANY ideas for this particular project, I couldn't keep them straight in my head.

Of course, I just HAD to use the Teddy Bear file and Garden Girl outfit from Treasure Box Designs!! I followed one of my favorite sketches at Mojo Monday - number 259. I think I have used that sketch 3 times already!! It just "works" with the teddy bears.

"Boo Bear"

Treasure Box Designs

Hello again!!! I'm so happy to be sharing with you my new "favorite" layout of my little boy. There is so much that I love about this layout that I may get a little "talky" on this blog. You should know I don't normally get chatty . . .

Now, you must understand that I've been hanging onto this picture of my son for quite some time. It's one of my favorites of him and I've been waiting for all the right "elements" to show up in my scrappy room. Echo Park's "All About A Boy" definitely hit the "spot" for GREAT paper as well as the new Treasure Box Designs' Boy oh Boy Tear Teddies!

What took the longest time deciding what to do with this layout was the title. Go figures. Finally, I decided to actually use my son's nickname, which is not something I've done before.

I followed this sketch from sketchy Thursdays that I pinned quite a while back.

Thanks for stopping by today!! Hope you are inspired!

A LOT of my son's layouts end up with a blue and orange theme! 

A closer look at the title and TBD bear cluster
mixed with brads and buttons. I used button brads
on the bear's overalls.

Just a closer look at the right side of
this layout.

For the bears overalls I used EP's denim jeans
PP from the collection All About A Boy.

Supplies:

SOUS Die Cut Challenge: Use the word "Mom"

Hello SOUS fans!! It's Friday and time for our die cut challenge! For this challenge, we are to use a die cut with the word 'Mom' or the silhouette of a woman/mom.

I personally found this challenge easy cause I had the perfect picture of my mother to use for this challenge. The great thing about challenges is that they "force" me to work on photos and events that I keep putting off. If you have been following me for a while, you'll know this is my first frilly LO in quite a while.

Now, for the word . . . what to use?? Well, I went hunting! It didn't take much effort to find the PERFECT lettering at SVGCUTS. I was also GREATLY inspired by Melinda Sparks LO at 'the scrap farm'.  I fell in love with the brick background! I did have to fussy cut the bricks - not my favorite thing to do - but it all worked out.

I personally handmade all the flowers except the top pink flower. It came from a woman who talent I greatly admire. You can find her here.

I tried to make this LO with my mother in mind with just a touch of my personal style. My mom is a music teacher (the bricks are music notes), she loves flowers, bling, pink, and furniture that has curves and swirls built into it (hence the swirly frame). My personal touch is that I LOVE negative space on LO's and use stitching on nearly every LO and card I make.

Well I guess that about sums it up!! Thanks for stopping by today!

This photo of my mom was taken by me in May 2012.
This day was the first step of my budding photograph skills.

I used Liquid Pearls' White Opal on the die cut for extra pizazz!

Handmade flowers, bling, stitching, leaves
and a dragonfly charm make up this cluster.

The frame is a die cut from Cricut: Sentimentals.
Again I used Liquid Pearls on the frame to give it more beauty.

Graduation 2013

Treasure Box Designs

Hello there! Today I'm sharing a card I made for a coworker who is graduating college in May. I used the Tear Teddy graduation pattern from TBD for the bear. I followed MojoMonday's sketch 212 for the card.

I must admit, this is not my favorite card, but there are not many graduation cards out there that I'm fond of anyway. The theme seems to be so . . . limiting. Her school colors are cream and crimson. *Shrugs* I tried!! 

Supplies:

Kraft Paper
MME 6x6: The Station
Twine
TBD: Tear Teddy: Graduation
Tag Punch

How Sweet of You!

Treasure Box Designs

I can't get ENOUGH of the Tiny Treasures at Treasure Box Designs. My favorite one is this bear. SO many things you can do with just this one bear. Baby cards, thank you cards, kid cards, baby LO's, etc etc etc.

I hope you are not tired of looking at these cards. I know I seem to have a theme going on with them. But once I find something that works for me and my style, I tend to run with it!

I followed Mojo Sketch 213 for this card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Supplies:

MME: Fine and Dandy (LOVE this paper)

Puppy Love

Treasure Box Designs:

Today I have for you one of TBD's previous freebie file. I have yet to decide what I'm going to do with it, but it's too cute not to share. I used ribbons on the puppy's ear to cover up a gluing mistake!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Thanking a teacher!

Treasure Box Designs

Hello!! Today I am sharing a card that will be given to one of my son's teachers. I have used this worm from TBD's "Back to the Books" file before but it's just so adorable I had to use it again!!!

I have the words "thank you" stamped on the inside of the card. I used a sketch from MojoMonday. I kept it simple with no stitching or extra embellishments cause I really wanted the little worm to have all the attention. That and I was a little lazy in not adding extras. Shhh, don't tell anyone!!  BUT, I did end up using ALL SCRAPS for this card!! "Giving myself a pat on the back"

OH, and I've been working hard to make my eyes on my die cuts really POP! I hope you can begin to tell an improvement in my work.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Supplies:
BoBunny: AD LIB (all scraps)
Kraft Paper
