Sand-tastic!

I love clean and simple scrapbooking, and I think this is a good example of having pictures the most important part of the page, but having clean and elegant lines. Plus, it has some of my favorite things :-)

I really enjoy using the old dymo embossing label maker, and a while ago I got this script typeface. How fun is that!

Ribbon: 1/8" wide generic ribbon
Flowers: Recollections Boutique Fleur
Font: LDJ Old Typeface
Label: Dymo label maker

Cupcake!

This week's challenge at My Sheri Crafts is a recipe, something I've never done before. Use:
1 Button
2 Designer Papers
3 Flowers

So, I made a LO to commemorate my littlest DD's first experience with cupcakes! She was, and continues to be, a little girl who doesn't enjoy unusual textures on her hands, so she kept her hands well out of the way and devoured this chocolate yummy by sticking out her tongue and leaning forward. What a great idea, I think I might try it next year on my birthday! Not sure how many people would want to share my cake after I did it, though!






Supplies:
1 brown button
2 papers: K&Co Tim Coffey Tuscan Sunflowers
3 flowers: by prima
trim ribbon: K&Co BW Flora & Fauna Vellum Adhesive borders
cuts: frame is from Paper Lace by Cricut; title font: Adore
tags: unknown brand, sprayed with Glimmer Mist Sunflower

Flowers as Accents

My girls love spring babies, and this petting zoo is always at our community Summerfest. I love this paper, but can only take small doses of such a busy pattern. This LO is based on a PageMap, and works really well to incorporate that pattern but with balance.











Supplies:
Paper: DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies stack, solid cardstock
Dry embossing: Cuttlebug Swiss dots
Prima flowers
cut: Elegant Edges by Cricut
Rhinestones
ink for all edges

Big Daisy accent!

I love Primas. And, I really really really would like to make my own. So, a little while ago I saw a daisy made with DS on the cricut MB. So, here's my recreation, using a neat little font called Saru's Flower Ding. You can find it on dafont.com This flower is four paired layers. When you go to make it, I inked, chalked or sprayed before assembly; especially the innermost layer! Also, bigger is better with this file. I think you could make little ones if you left off the smallest layers. This one was made at 4.5" for the biggest flower, in yellow. The 4 bigger petals go scored down the middle of each petal, like a real Gerbera Daisy. I chalked with inner layers, and used Tattered Angels Glimmer mist in Sunflower:



Here's the file:



Finally, here's the layout it was for! My DD is a city girl, and got to go to a county fair in Montana last summer. Boy, did she love it! A little girl was there exhibiting her cow, Daisy, and very graciously allowed Hannah to help her. Font is Gypsy Font; cows are from My World; daisy is from me!
