Our Princess

I have been going through some older pictures of Kendall and ran across these pictures that where taken of her with her Build-A-Bear  a few years ago. I hadn't scrapbooked them yet so I thought they would be perfect for the new Lollydoodle paper pack from Close To My Heart. I love how girlie this paper pack is and how well it works with the sparkle flourishes. This also worked perfectly for the Flourishes challenge at Heart 2 Heart this week!

Sassy Girl Layout with Artbooking

Welcome to the Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop!  The blogger in front of me is Barbi Kelley.   The Stampers with an Attitude are excited to show artwork with Shimmer, Sparkle, and Shine, so here we go. I created this layout using the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge for the Shimmer, Sparkle, and Shine Blog Hop and the Heart 2 Heart Spotlight challenge. Our sweet baby girl is always in the spotlight at our house and she certainly has a shining personality. She is the baby of the family by over 10 years and has three big brothers who adore her and are extremely protective. These pictures were taken a couple of years ago, but I had never really found the perfect layout for them yet. I knew they would need some Sparkle and Shine to make them really reflect her personality! I cut the Zebra background using the cartridge out of our Black Glitter Paper. I love that Close To My Hearts Glitter Paper cuts so well on the Cricut! I added lots of hand rolled paper flowers to match the roses in her pictures. Don't you love the quilling tool? It makes creating these paper flowers so quick and easy! I added a sparkle to the center of each of the paper flowers. I really love how everything came together to Shimmer, Sparkle, and Shine!

Balloon Ride Card

I created this card for the sketch challenge at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. The sketch is below. We would love to have you play along with us this week! I used the new Balloon Ride Paper Pack and created a cloud look with the sketch. I really struggled with this sketch until my husband walked by and said, "That looks like clouds" and boom! From there it all came together very quickly. Sometimes you just need fresh eyes and a new idea!

For the Love of Artbooking

When I read the Heart 2 Heart Challenge for this week and thought about choosing a CTMH product that I love, I knew it would be a hard choice. I LOVE everything about CTMH! The paper, stamps, embellishments, well everything, but the product that I use the most are our Cricut Cartridges. No matter if I am making a layout, card, or other project it seems I am always reaching for one of our Cricut Cartridges to add just the right touch, either an overlay, a paper pieced embellishment, or a perfectly cut design to match one of our many stamp sets. The layout I made for this week features the Timberline paper pack and the Artbooking Cartridge. I love the overlays we can cut with these cartridges. What a great way to show off this terrific paper pack!
