Sorry Layout

The cousins love to play Sorry! at my parent's place. It is a good lesson in patience and winning/losing! More older papers trying to clean-out the stash.

I handmade the letters and used my Pen Blade to cut them out. I literally went through my entire stash trying to find game related embellishments and had to settle for what I could find and some word bubbles.

Friendship Cards for P.H.P. and My Sentiments Exactly

Hello! Today the Paper House Productions team has tried out some stamps from My Sentiments Exactly. I received the friendship stamp set. I decided to make two cards using the Be Happy Paper Pad.

I folded 8.5" x 11" white cardstock in half and adhered a background paper. Then I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the flowers. I used some black ribbon and stickers that came with the paper pad. To finish it off I used a stamp with white ink. On the inside of the card, stamped another sentiment.

For the second card, I repeated the first step and then adhered a cut apart card from the paper pad. I fussy cut some flowers from another copy of the cut apart card to balance the card. Then I used a stamp with black ink for the sentiment. The photo corners are from a previous swap with Scrapbook Adhesives.

Celebrate Jenny Layout

Cake Layout for S.I.T.

I'm up on the Sketches In Thyme blog today with this colourful birthday layout. I was so lucky to win the new Jillibean Soup Souper Celebration collection from Page Maps so I had to dig in right away. This sketch was perfect for a fun, bright layout. Yes, I did try to decorate my husband's cake with his favorite hockey team logo. The effort was appreciated!

Here is the sketch by Shawn Lahr:



I used a combination of my Silhouette machine and a circle cutting stencil. I hope you can play along this month for a chance to win a great prize!

Whiteboard Calendar with Paper House Productions

I decorated this whiteboard with the Paper House Productions Project Pads. There is a frames and sentiments pad, feathers pad, butterflies pad and hearts pad. My daughter loves to dance and is always making calendars to keep track of her practice. I found this whiteboard and decided to make some decorations for it. The project pads are so easy to use. The shapes pop out and just need to be glued together. I added some magnetic tape to the back so now my daughter can place things anywhere she likes. She liked it so much she made a whole bunch of decorations herself.

Here are some close-ups:

Be-you-tiful Layout

I made a list of all the techniques I would like to try and got one done this weekend. I used my Silhouette Cameo to perforate the flower pattern on my layout. Then I painted the pattern with water colours and Color Shine. I finished it by stitching around it with four ply embroidery thread.

I painted the title pink and double-layered the letters so they would stand out. I used the packaging technique to do the background. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Sweet Hearts Layout

I made this layout just for fun. No challenges or design team work. I decided I needed a moment to just step back and do something without any restrictions and I love how it turned out. You really can't go wrong with the Cute Girl collection from Crate Paper.

I took random scraps from my 6x6 paper pad and built the layers at the top and bottom of the page. I tacked them down with some tape and then ran my sewing machine across them and left the thread hanging at both ends. I decided to do the same with all the other tags on the page. I finished it off with some thickers and enamel dots on the ice cream cones. It took me a long time to figure out what title to use and then where to put it.
