Expecting Baby Layout

I am starting a scrapbook for my daughter, who at this time has had my granddaughter. So this layout with more to follow will be a little late.

I love to create my layout pages in Make the Cut beforehand so that I can see how placement will be and what embellishments I want. This was all cut with my Gazelle!!

(hid daughters belly since she was showing it-not sure she would appreciate showing the "world")

I have attached the MTC file if you would like this layout. When you open it in Make the Cut you will see the layout page. The lock is on the page. This is to show you how to assemble it, although you can move it around to the way you would like. I have made three cutting pages(tabs) for this file (included) so that it will make it easy to cut the separate elements. See the journaling tag, baby peeker and stork tabs on this file. Unlock them before cutting and move the group around for your paper placement and cutter. Also on the stork page remove the note that I added to the page about the stork color before cutting.

Click HERE for the MTC file.

I used Peachy Keen face stamps (Everyday Faces) on the baby peeker. I will have the stork holding the baby in a future layout to share. Look for it soon.


Hope you like this.

CyberCrop Weekend

This has been a busy weekend of crafting. Over at the MTC forum, I participated in their first ever CyberCrop weekend. There were 10 Challenges and 9 Bonus Challenges. You had to do a separate project for each challenge. I was only able to get 7 out of the 10 Challenges completed. Hey but that is more crafting in a weekend than I think I have ever done. LOL!!!

See below for my projects.

Challenge #1 - Color Challenge. Use only the colors Purple and Turquoise (white/black could be used for any journaling).

Challenge #2 - Create a title in MTC with a graphic attached to the words.

Challenge #3 - Create a project using vinyl.

I did not get to Challenges #4 & #5.

Challenge #6 - Paper Piecing. Create a paper piecing piece using MTC.

(note: This is the little lamb from the Strawberry Shortcake series I shared.)

Challenge #7 - Create a project using an animal theme.

Challenge #8 - Use three flowers on your project.
(Made this Get Well Card)

I did not get to Challenge #9.

Challenge #10 - Use metal or embossing.

(I used my cuttlebug and nestability embossing dies

for this birthday card.)

Well, that was my first ever online crop and it was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to participating in many more. Want to join in on some of the fun, join us over at the Make the Cut forum.

Wicked 2-Page Layout

I did this for another challenge over at the MTC Forum message board. This challenge was to use a silhouette image. The image of Elphaba the Witch was from a colored graphic, which I traced around in Paint and then brought it into MTC to finish and cut. The Time Dragon Clock was a photograph that I traced around and erased the background using Paint and then brought it into MTC to finish and cut. The flying monkeys were already a silhouette image.

My daughter and I are going to see Wicked the Musical in June when it comes to Charlotte. This will be our second time seeing it. We saw it June 2006 in New York City. If you haven't seen this show and ever have a chance to go see it, I highly recommend it.
Thanks for looking.

Layout for a Challenge

Here is a layout I did for a "border" challenge. If you will see I used the cat border that I had shared. Check my site for the Borders mtc file for this.

On this layout I used mtc to create and cut the cat border and the large spiderweb. I used silver stickles on the spiderweb. I used a Tilda stamp (from Magnolia stamps) and colored it with the Copic markers. I also used the Martha Stewart Punch around the page - spiderweb punches around this mat and then added a couple more mats with ribbons.
