Two new Abbi pages

This is yet another Abbi page. I had so much fun working on her pages!! This page was made with Stampin Up' products. I think that it turned out nicely.

Abbi's new pages: This is a picture of her from about 3 months old. I love this Black and White picture of my baby girl. The background paper is Bazzill Basic Black and the border is Bazzill Black Tie. I used a double slide punch to weave the ribbon through. The picture is also matted in Black Tie. The quote is from DCWV love booklet. I then used a white gel pen to do a little journaling. I Love this Simple page that was the brain child of Shannon from work. She suggested the scheme and it came together very nicely!








Abbi's new page. This is the newest pages that I've made for my little girls book. She's 2 1/2 so I'm a little far behind as this is her hospital picture. The background paper is Heidi Swap or Heidi Grace, I can't really remember. The picture is matted in Bazzill purple paper (you probably can't see that part) and then framed with glittery paper that I bought from M's. The border is Bazzill and Bazzill bling. The butterflies were cut out with a CM Spring Cutter. The font is "A" Storybook from Cricut, and the "bbigail" is Calligraphy from Cricut. They were outlined in a White gel pen.


Supplies: HeidiSwap from Michaels. Bazzill and Bazzill paper, Calligraphy and Storybook Cricut carts, White gel pen, Glitter paper from Michaels, CM Spring Cutter.

Borders and Embellishments


These are some examples of some borders that I've made over the years. This was for "Boyds Bear" (there headquarters are in Gettysburg, PA if your interested) when I took my then 2 year old to visit. This paper is from the Quik-Kutz paper pack that is discontinued. The bear is a cutter that was in the $1 bin at Michaels. I love the $1 bin.
This is a relatively simple layout that I made using my wavy cutter and circle cutters. The paper is all CM.

This is a layout that I made again using the square cutter at different angles and different sizes. You can't tell, but I also used gold letters. All the products are CM.
This is also a relatively simple border that I made using paper and Theme Park stickers from CM.

Bling and Stickles RAK--Girlie


These are paper clips for the RAK that are "Girlie" I realize they could also be "Flowery" but my little girl loves Flowers, so that was the first thing that I tought of when I though of GIRLS.


The other two I"m still working on, they should be done soon.


Supplies: Jumbo Paper Clips from Staples, On Board Blossoms and Blooms from SU!, Versamark Ink, Clear Embossing Powder, Marvy Heat Embossing Tool, Felt Flowers from SU!, Buttons from SU!, E6000 glue (use this stuff in a well ventilated area!!), Skittles, Caramel

Bling and Stickles RAK--Flourishes





This is for the Flourishes portion of the Swap.
The top is a deco square. I love this paper, its a white base with flourishes in a fluffy substance. I got an awesome deal on this paper and I LOVE IT!!
So I used the CM Square Cutter to cut out the bottom layer, in black Bazzill. The top layer is the aforementioned paper cut with the smaller of the two squares on the large CM Square cutter. I then added some Platinum stickles to certain areas of the paper and then added a Rhinestone to the corner. I think they turned out ok!!
