3D die cut reveal-SOUS

Happy Friday fellow crafters..

Us girls over at SOUS are having our Friday die cut revel today and for this challenge we were asked to create a 3D project or to add a 3D die cut to out projects..

I decided to create a box of treasures..

This is what I created:

Everything you see is hand made or a die cut of sorts..

The box base is a cut file by Lori Whitlock that I found in the SIL store..

I then tweaked it a bit by adding the faux wood sides and faux metal trim..

I'm not convinced with the colors of the die cuts, just could not get them to play nice together, but it is what it is..LOL

How about some close ups:

and there ya have my box of treasures.. not sure what I will keep in it just yet, maybe some photos and journaling tags..

Do stop by SOUS and check what amazing projects the rest of our design team has created for this challenge..

Till next time..

Hope you have a scrap-tastic weekend..

Girly Blog Hop- Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons

Welcome to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Girly blog hop..

If you came here from Melissa's blog, you are in the right place.  If you just stumbled upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, please visit Lisa's blog." 

For today's hop, we were asked to create a GIRLY project.. 

I decided on a layout and used some of the fun GIRLY cutting files from the PPPR store..

This is what I created:

Is this blurry or is just me?.. It looked great when I took it :)

I used one of the labels in the layered labels from Layered Labels 1 cutting file to create the over sized background and then added some scalloped trim to the bottom of the layout using the Borders 2 cutting file..

well, I got GREAT close ups of this layout:

This froggy is the cutest, he can be found in the Rainy Day Critters file.. I love Lisa's cutting files because they can all be cut in layers.. I used the face and hands from the rainy froggy :)

for the banner of flowers, I created that using the banner strip from the Simple Banner Shapes cutting file, the flowers and leaves are from the Flower Assortment Cutting file..

I also used some free fonts to create the title phrase..

Here is one of the dresses from the Dress Up Girl Pink Dress cutting file

I decided to add a little ribbon trim to the bottom and stickles to edges of the layers..

This dress is from the Dress Up Girl Princess Dress cutting file..

The hangers I used are from the Mommy To Be cutting file. I did have to do a little cutting  using the cutting tool in the designer Edition of SIL software to separate the hanger from the baby clothes :)

close up of my little baby girl.. 

She is about 2 yrs old in this photo and she just turned 25 yrs old a few days ago.. 

Where does the time go?..

and then the cute little girl and her pet rabbit..LOL

The cute little girl can be found in the Dress Up Girls Cutting file

and the cute little bunny is in the Forest Critters cutting file.

for my cute little butterflies, I wanted them to actually look as if they were hover over the layout and so, grabbed some brown craft wire, twirled a piece of it around a paint brush handle and then used some foam tape to attach it to the back of the butterflies :)  I tucked the other end under the flowers to hide it..

Those cute butterflies can be found in the Spring Garden cutting file, the mushroom is in the Forest Critters cutting file and the flowers and leaves are in the Flower Assortment cutting file..

Whew... LOL  That was a lot .. 

It took me a few days to put this layout together but it was so worth the hard work, I really enjoyed spending that time just concentrating on my project instead of whats for dinner or if the laundry needs to be put away..LOL  I'm sure you can relate..

Rock On Layout-PPPR reveal

Hi fellow crafters..
 I have a "rockin" layout I wanna share with you today that I created for my project reveal over at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon..
My son learned how to play the guitar in middle school and they got to perform at the end of the school year in front of the whole school :)  I decided it was time to scrap one those photos and this is what I was able to create using the "Rock On" Cutting file and the "Fourth of July kids" cutting file..

The background mask I created using my cameo by cutting out some rectangles from the 12x12 white cardstock.  Once I had the mask cut, I adhered it to a 12x12 piece of red cardstock, creating the illusion of red brick.. Then added strips of dark blue cardstock to the edges of my layout and doodled the lines with a white marker..

how about some close ups:

I decided to chalk the edges of the fingers bringing them to life :)

The hand and the guitar picks are in the "Rock On" cutting file.. I also used the flourish from the "Friends Forever" cutting file..

This cute little guy can be found in the "Fourth of July Kids" cutting file and I added guitar and the musical notes from the "Rock On" cutting file.  I really wanted to use a Peachy Keen stamp for the face and thought this was perfect with the tongue hanging out..LOL

I love love love this big title, it can be found in the "Rock On" cutting file

and had to include a close up of my lil Rock Star who's not so little anymore..

and there ya have it, my layout for todays post..

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my project..

Project Life challenge- Ledger

Wowzah.. Is it Monday already?  How fast time flies, when you're having fun..LOL

Us girls over at SOUS are having our Project Life challenge reveal today and we were asked to use LEDGER or GRID on our spread...

I've been having loads of fun playing around with my own Project Life designs along with some of the ready made I've found in the SIL store.. Super fast way to get your hands on some really beautiful cards is by buying them from the SIL store :)  Love my Silhouette Cameo by the way ( cant' say that enough)..

So, I decided to use some photos that I had from week 16.. My youngest son Adam got his hair cut ( a miracle by any means) and we started enjoying warmer weather, spring finally arrived..

although, it was snowing this morning when I woke up.. :)

Here is my PL spread for todays challenge reveal..

These are really hard to photograph, so bare with me :)

got some close ups for ya:

and their ya have my PL spread for our reveal..
