A Bright & Fun Birthday Scrapbook Layout

Hello! Today I have a bright & fun birthday scrapbook layout of my daughter on her 2nd birthday. She loved her Elmo cake! 

Some of the products I have used have been provided to me from various companies I design for. The opinions I share are solely my own, and I only design for companies that I completely love their products. Affiliate links may be used where possible at no cost to you. However, I do earn a small commission when you click on my links and make a purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

I first painted some Clear Gesso onto white cardstock and then painted some red, yellow & blue color spray onto the white cardstock. Then I stamped the Creative Embellishments Grunge Music Note Sheet Stamp around onto the background using StazOn Ink in Piano Black.

Next, I used red embossing powder on the Creative Embellishments Out Of This World Frame and then adhered the frame into the center of my layout. I also embossed the Creative Embellishments Balloon Set 1 with red, blue, yellow, and black on the strings using embossing powder.

I also used the cake title from the Creative Embellishments Birthday Word Set and embossed it with red embossing powder. Then I adhered the title over a ribbon bow I made and a bed of red paper flowers. Added a few stickers that I had and tucked in some black thread in a few places and then my layout was complete.

I created this layout for the Creative Embellishments July Challenge. Below is the challenge photo and the twist is to use a birthday theme.

How To Make A Magnetic Frame For School Photos

School is still a little over a month away before it starts back up again but I saw these cute school frames and had to make them now. I used a photo of my daughter from her 8th grade year before everything switched to homeschooling.

I found these cute SVG school photo frames and used my Silhouette Designer Studio Software to create my cut file.

I cut a square of the StyleTechCraft Glossy Craft Vinyl in Apple Green, Brown, Red, and White and put them in each corner of my cutting mat to match where I have placed each element of the frame to be cut in the Designer Studio.

 Then I cut them out using the Silhouette Cameo 4.

Next, I used a Deflecto Magnetic Sheet. These magnetic sheets are great, they are white on one side making them perfect to customize almost any way you want. They are 8" x 15" and come 3 in a pack. They are super easy to cut with scissors or with a craft knife.

and with my Xyron Mega Runner, I adhered a photo of my daughter onto it.

After adhering the photo, I then placed the frame of the apple that was cut from the StyleTechCraft Glossy Red Craft Vinyl onto the photo. Then added the stem and the leaf to the top of the apple and then cut it out along the outer edge of the apple, leaf, and stem.

Next, using the StyleTechCraft Clear Transfer Tape, I transferred the wording onto the front of the apple.

Then I was done and ready to hang on the fridge. These would also make great gifts for Grandparents.

I Think You Are Awesome Card

Today I am sharing a red, white, and blue you are awesome card. Even though this card has some dimension it is still flat so is still easy to send in the mail.

I first die cut out a few different sizes of the Poppystamps Flora Bloom Solids Die Set from a 4" x 5.25" card front and then adhered it to the largest Poppystamps Double Stitch Rectangle Frame that I cut out using the Memory Box Twinkling Jewel Glitter Pad. Then I adhered the frame to the front of my card with 3D Foam adhesive.

Next, using the Poppystamps Flora Bloom Solids Die Set again I cut out the flowers using blue and red cardstock in the same sizes that I used on the white card front.  Then adhering the flowers into the cutouts from the white cardstock to the front of my card. Then using the Poppystamps Flora Blooms dies I cut them out in white cardstock in one flower size smaller than the blue and red ones and pop dotted them into the center of them to give my card some dimension. I stamped the sentiment using the Birch Press You Are Awesome Stamp Set.

Monochromatic Black and White Scrapbook Layout

Hello! Today I am sharing a scrapbook layout I created. I used a formal photo of my kids that was taken on a cruise that we went on last year. I decided to go with a monochromatic theme of black and white.

Some of the products I have used have been provided to me from various companies I design for. The opinions I share are solely my own, and I only design for companies that I completely love their products. Affiliate links may be used where possible at no cost to you. However, I do earn a small commission when you click on my links and make a purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

I started by stamping the 49 and Market Captured Adventures background paper with Creative Embellishments Distressed Moroccan Stamp and StazOn Ink. Then tore some strips of patterned papers and corrugated paper and adhered them to the background paper.

Then I cut up the Creative Embellishments Moroccan Lattice Panel and adhered it down. I then used some VersaMark on the Creative Embellishments Distressed Circle Border and heat embossed it with black embossing powder.

I also heat embossed the title Cherish from the Creative Embellishments Moments Word Set with black embossing powder. I added some flowers from I Am Roses and then I was done.
