iPhone Layout

My sister took this picture after she gave my little nephew her iPhone to watch a video and keep him out of trouble for a while so she could get something done, after awhile she noticed he had acquired a few buddies. We couldn't resist taking a picture, they looked so cute sitting there holding their dolls and watching so seriously.

I created this sketch using the October 24 sketch over at http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.ca/
Papers used are from a Heidi Grace pack, the iphone bear cutting files come from Paper Peicing by Nikki,
the circle cutting files comes from SVG cutting files, and the flourish is a sizzix die cut, the journal block is stamped using an Autumn leaves stamp, I added a few punched apples to my flourish for a final touch, there are still a few touch ups I want to do, like the journaling and I'm still not completely satisfied with the title.

Wedding card

I created this card for  a special aunt, I usually don't like putting 3D images on cards because of mailing bulk, but since this was a non-mailed gift I decided to take the plunge,
The card was cut using a SVG file from a beautiful lady over at "Monica's Creative Room", The rings are part of another SVG cute, not sure which one now, and the flowers are punched shapes I fashioned into a 3D rose, the sentiment I cut using my SCAL program and a free font.
I finished with punched branches for leaves, a sheer printed ribbon, and some other touches.

Card will be entered into the "Anything Goes" challenge over at http://www.creativecuttingchallenge.blogspot.ca/

Jamaican layout

Over at the Cut it Up challenge blog there's a International Day of  Peace challenge going on,
I haven't been to any other country but short shopping trips to the USA, and I just couldn't find any pictures to create a layout, last trip I forgot my camera. after much thinking I remembered that my sister was in Jamaica for her Honeymoon, One of the many places I'd love to visit. So this layout was created using Jamaican colors, the challenge requirements were to use a country's colors.

I used DCWV papers, Cutting files are from following sources, flowers-duckydesings.com, flower ring-Miss Kate's Cutables, and the Bird of Paradise silhouette I can't remember where I got that from.

Our Soccer Star layout

My little niece Nathania is an active soccer player, This year her pee-wee team took a metal, I guess the most important is that she seems to be having so much fun!!
For my layout I used Doodlebug paper from the "All Star" pack, and solid pieces from my stash, I stamped the red piece with various star stamps (Autumn Leafs) but unfortunately by the time I got all my pieces on the layout you can hardly see any of them.
I used the Cricut Create a Friend Cartridge to create most of my establishments,

The title I created on my own in SCAL with a free font, and the film strip is a SVG file from My Scrap Chick cutting files, I went through all my cartridges and I just couldn't believe that not one of them contained a film strip image.

Canada Layout

I'm proud of my Canadian heritage, so when we were asked to create a patriotic project over at Red Carpet Studio. here, I decided to create one from pictures of a past trip to the Peace Gardens, The Canadian flag garden was beautiful that year,
I had a difficult time creating this layout, I just couldn't find paper I liked for the background, so I decided to stamp some parts, and as I was putting it together I kept taking it apart, hating the way it looked, finally I decided I was running out of time and it'll be what it'll be and guess what? it came together nicely and I like the way it turned out. Isn't it weird when that happens?
Background paper is Doodlebug, Stamps are Autumn Leaves, the leaf background is a negative from a cutting project that I decided to save, glad I did, I used a Darcie leaf embossing folder behind it,
