New projects

 Today I'm sharing a card I Created using Little scraps of Heaven Designs "Lamb of God" & "Fancy photo collection" files, I love this cute little lamb, Lamb of God is a new file on the website and one worth getting,
I used some Forever in Time papers for my background, I almost always use Recollections papers for my piecing, the Bible verse sentiment is a stamp,
I created this cute layout for some cute pictures I took of my small nephews playing outside last summer, For this I used the LSHD "Boys at Play" file, I love this file, it's so perfect for those "boy" moments, I used some outdated paper from my stash for the background, the top layers are from a Recollections pack called Animal Textures, the title is my own work in Design Space with a free font, I stamped the photo placemats with some texture stamps,

New cards,

My very first digi stamp project, or kind of a digi stamp, I took the digi into Design Space and drew the image with a pen in my Explore, Love this cute little mouse in a teacup from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I used some papers from my stash, I love buying these little Forever in Time paper packs in Dollar Stores, the have the cutest prints for cards,  I added a lace and bow with a little sequin dove hanging like a charm and some gemstones. The cross and phrase stamp are my newest additions to my crafty stash.
 I added another mouse/teacup to the inside of my card.
My other card has a number of LSHD cutting files, from the collections of "Fancy Photo Frames', "My Paper Garden Vol.2" and a cute butterfly from "Chasing Butterflies", I just love LSHD cutting files, they are worth checking out, if you have a cutting machine that can cut svgs.
This card also features paper from a Forever in Time pack, Recollections cardstock, and a beautiful scripture stamp that was a gift from my sister once,

Double Trouble

Dropping by to share a layout of my adorable nephews using Little Scraps of Heaven Design files, "Double Trouble Boys", and "PC Train".
This is actually the 2nd half of a double page layout, I did the first awhile back, but haven't' gotten around to doing this one until now, I'm glad I finally took the time to do it, the collected papers and pictures have been moved from spot to spot in my craft room so many times that I was afraid of something happening to them. I used a LSHD sketch for both, this is just the most resent one. I love how it turned out.
Here's the first half of the layout, also using LSHD files..."Floppy bear" and "Lion"

Baby Bear card

Sharing a card I created for my sister who's having a boy!
I usually don't create these kind of folded cards but lately I've decided to expend my cardmaking horizons,
For this card I used a couple of Little Scraps of Heaven Designs cutting files, "Cuddly Bear" "Heart Mat" and "Baby Buttons" I added a bow, some stamped images and a few gold circles to complete my card,

Love bears all, wedding card

Sharing a card I created for my DT post over at Little Scraps of Heaven, Love their cutting files, this "Paper Garden vol.2" file is amazing, and the "Floppy Bears" are super cute, also used is the "note card" file.
For my card I used a DCWV remade card, however my card felt too heavy with the layered flowers so I cut the back of the card and mounted it on a heavier pink card, I use all Recollections papers for my piecing


, Love that brand, cuts so wonderfully, I added little gem stones in the flower centers and a cute little epoxy heart sticker between my bears, my sentiment box was created using the write feature on my Explore, love that machine, Isn't it amazing how tiny and detailed that machine will cut? These are the tiniest piecings I have ever done, and it wasn't fun gluing them together. lol

Flower card

I love LSHD cutting files, here I used 2, Roses and Bee with Flower, I have used the roses file over and over, love how easy it is to put together and it can be used anywhere, and the little bee is so cute, It took me 3 tries to get my explore to cut the tiny little antennas on it but I finally got it using the intricate card stock setting.
This is my first project for March on the LSHD DT,
Be sure to check out the site, so many super cute files to be found there. http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/

My first box card attempt.

My very first box card,
I created this card for my sister's birthday on the 27th but unfortunately it didn't get done till the 28th, but the look on her face when I presented it to her was worth all the effort this card was. for this card I used a Cuddly Cute Designs file Bear with Roses,
I also used my MS punches, leaf branch, fern branch and butterfly, papers are an older My Mind's Eye print, and the fancy happy birthday design was cut using a cricut cartridge, Paper Lace
