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.

Easter Egg

Click Here For this MTC File.

Easter Basket With Eggs

This file has a lot of detail pieces. A suggestion when cutting, cut by sections, as it's layered in the file. Leave the pieces on the cutting mat and take off each piece and place it in place on the background, one piece at a time. This way you will know where each little piece goes.

Easter Bunny Photo Peeker

What a cute bunny to place on top of your favorite Easter picture.

Daisy Border, Corner "Punch" and Daisy Frame

Here is a Daisy Border and corner "punch" that you can use to make any borders or even Frames. I created the 4x6 frame to show how this can be done. If you need a smaller border, use a cutting shape and change this from 6 or 4 to 2, 3, or 5 daisies. Add two of the 6 daisy borders together to create a 12 inch border. The possibilities are endless. To create the frames just use the copy, mirror, flip and weld functions in MTC.
Enjoy!!

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.

Challenge #5 - Pet Adoption

Okay here is my entry for the Challenge #5 over at the MTC Forum MB. If you would like this file click HERE.

Things to make for a Tea Party

Saturday, May 1st I helped with putting together a Mother-Daughter Tea Party for our Girl Scout District. We had 92 participants. One of the my duties was to create the teabag holders and a Bingo game. I spent all of last week cutting and putting these together for each participant. You can see the pictures below to see what I came up with.

Teabag Holder. I used pastel cardstock, ribbon, Glue Dots (the strips), and teabags. I cut the file from my .mtc file and then scored on the score marks. Actually I used the first scored one for a guideline, then removed the scorelines on my mtc file to cut the rest and just measured with my Scor-Pal and scored the lines - much neater. Then adhered the teabag to the back section at the top of the teabag with a Glue Dot strip . Then used a 3/16 inch punch to punch two holes at the top above the scalloped edge and added ribbon. Then added another Glue Dot strip along the top section of the panel with the cutouts, to close/seal the holder.

Teapot Bingo Cards

Teacup Bingo Cards

For these Bingo Cards, I used the same matching pastel cardstock. And cut the teapot and teacup from my .mtc file. I then created the Bingo Cards in Excel and changed the heading from B-I-N-G-O to I-(heart)-T-E-A.

This Excel Bingo Card file can actually be used for

any type of party where a Bingo game is needed.

The Excel Bingo Card file has three tabs to click on. The first tab is the callers sheet. There are two call sheets on it. I printed this out on white cardstock to make it sturdy. One of the call sheets, I cut all of the squares so that those would be my Bingo numbers to call out. The second tab has 80 different Bingo Cards. The third tab has a few extras.

***If you download this file for use, you can change the "Bingo" title to whatever the theme of your party is and change the "graphic" in the Free Space to the theme of your party.

Hope you find these files useful.

Pebbles in her carriage

HI all, been a busy week at work and even more so this weekend. I do have one file to share if you like this one. This was a coloring page image found on the net. I then brought it into the MTC software program so that it can be cut out for a scrapbook page.

This file does have a LOT of small pieces. So make sure when you are cutting the pieces you know how they will be placed on the background piece. Please also make sure to look at the layers box. I have created all of the layers for this file.

There are several challenges going on over at the MTC forum that I am going to try and do. So check back to see what I post.
