Hello Kitty Birthday Party

A little background.........my little girl loves Hello Kitty! So much that we've had two hello kitty parties for her and she's only three. We'll probably have another one for her next year...but we'll see when the time comes.
A little autograph book that I made using my bind it all and some zutter covers and paper.
The pages of the autograph book were made with Bazzill paper that I just cut to fit the covers. I Then used my Tombow Aqua Mono Adhesive to adhere some glittery paper to the covers. For those of you who have never used the Bind-it-All before, it's best to put the paper on the covers BEFORE punching the holes. So after punching all my holes, I slipped the binding in and tightened.
This was made using (IMHO) the best scrapbooking machine in the WORLD! The Cricut Expression. I've very proud of my craftyness for this little project. This idea stemmed from a LO that I did last year for my son's book. I used two Cricut Carts for this one, Cuttin' Up (the background feature) and the Hello Kitty Font cart. I then used various flowers (from my humongous flower collection) to decorate. Rhinestones, Stickles and ribbon finished this project up! The paper is Bazzill...









The first was made using the Hello Kitty Font cart, it's the example that's made in the book. I put toothpicks on the back and then stuck them into the cupcakes.

Stuff done at the Memories Galore VIP party.

Projects done at Memories Galore VIP Party.
This was a totally cool layout. Done with Leave it to Weave and a punch called a "Tisket a Tasket", It was nifty. The cs is Bazzill.
This was made using flower soft. We stamped the image and then glued one color, and then the other. It's cool. I got some and can't wait to use it.




A mini photo album that we made using Dots paper, the Crop a dile and some adhesive.



This is a cool flower made using two sheets of card stock glued together, and then cut out with the Sizzix. The middle is glue and beads and on the back is a pin so that you can wear it on clothing. Coolio!





This was a cute gift bag that was made using a QuikCut die, a gift bag and the Xyron 150.





This was made using Alcohol inks and really shiny paper. It was fun playing with Alcohol inks as I found out that I was using them incorrectly. I can't wait to play with them again now that I have the right supplies!!

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.
