Live Laugh Love - Scrapbook Page

I'm doing a Scrapbook for a friend of mine.

Thought I'd start sharing one of the pages I'm doing for them

and the sketch I used for inspiration.

Inspiration Page

I found the page on pintrest.

Below is the web address I was able to track it to.

My Interpretation

Supplies

Base Paper - Recollections,Black Equilibrium

Yellow Mat - DCWV The Glitter Cardstock Matstack

Cricut Cartridge - Plantin SchoolBook

Sakura Glaze Pens

I thought it would be a neat affect if I used white letters,

so that I could continue the lines on the back ground paper.

The lines of the paper weren't perfectly straight either,

they were a tad squiggly so matching them up was a cinch.

I decided to continue the affect with the white mat for my picture.

I think it just adds a little something to it,

as I didn't want an overly fancy layout,

just something bright and simple.

Scrapbook Pages - Wallet Pictures

Thought I'd post some pictures of the two pages I made this weekend.

I've had these older pictures of my niece and nephew for while now,

been meaning to do a page for some of them and finally got around to it.

I used the following for this page

DCWV - White Ginger Stack

Cricut cartridges - Elegant Edges & Plantin SchoolBook

Yellow and White Scallop - Elegant Edges at 9 1/2"

Inner Blue Square- Plantin SchoolBook at 7 3/4"

Rectangles -PlantinSchoolBook at 3 1/2"

For this page I used the following

DCWV - Cherry Limeade

Cricut Cartridge Plantin SchoolBook

Rectangle Mats for pictures - Plantin schoolBook at 4"

Stars - Plantin SchoolBook at 3 1/2"

Letters - Plantin SchoolBook at 1 3/4"

Halloween Banner

Halloween Banner I made for my dining area.

I used Cricut Cartridges; Pretty Pennants & Plantin SchoolBook

Paper is DCWV Bewitched.

I cut the black pennants at 4 3/4", the top layer at 4 1/2".

I cut out the shadow of the letter out at 2 1/2" and the top layer out at 2 1/2".

Letters were adhered with foam squares.

Ribbon I strung them together with I cut at 5" each and adhered about

1" of it onto each connecting pennant.

For the border at the top I just cut a strip 3/8" wide

by about 3 1/4" long.

Mini-Cupcake Tower

Decided to make a cupcake tower to display my mini-cupcakes

for a candle party I had.

After I located my xacto knife this project was pretty simple.

Materials & Tools

1. Foam board

2. Scrapbook paper

3. Styrofoam

4. Hot Glue Gun

4. Xacto Knife

5. Cricut Cartridge - Plantin Schoolbook

6. ATG Gun

 

The sizes of the levels are 12", 10" and 8".

I cut the scrapbook paper out first using my cricut, then

I laid them on the foam board to outline where I needed to cut.

To make the colums, I cut the styrofoam out to my desired

height and then hot glued the paper around.

Then I attempted to measure out the center and hot glue

the columns down.

Since I only used this for mini-cupcakes I only did one layer for

each level. But, if you're going to make one for something heavier,

I would recommend doubling the layer of foam board.

To cover the foam edges I would just hot glue some ribbon on.

DCWV Christmas Wreath

Wreath I made using DCWV 2011 Season Christmas Stack and Recollections Sugar Plums. Used the Cricut Cartridge - Potpourri Basket - for the leaves and cut them out at 2 1/2 inches.

My base for my wreath was just a large circle, cut out of card stock, using Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. To make the hole in the middle I just cut out another circle traced it onto the larger one and cut it out.

To give the leaves some dimension I curled them, in different directions, using a bone folder.
