Three Elements Page Sketch

I do like to use page sketches for my scrapbook layouts.  One of my favorite sources is Scrapbook ETC
I chose this layout because of the three pictures of equal size.  It is just perfect for my three grandchildren.

I used this layout to make three variations.  This post will be variation  # 1  pretty true to the sketch.  It is an Easter layout featuring the bunny from Create-A-Critter, and the Happy Easter from the 2010 Easter Cartridge.

The base of the page is a 12" by 12" sheet of light blue card stock from Recollections.  The patterned papers are from DCWV - Stack #7.    I used a loop border punch on both the top and bottom edges of the blue checked paper and placed 1.5" strips of white card stock under the edges to show the loops. The photo mats are more of the light blue card stock with white inserts. The  white zigzag is actually one of Bazzill "Just the Edge" cardstock strips..  These borders have a smooth and a dotted side.  I put the dotted side up.  I used the Cricut to cut a 3" circle from dotted paper.  The blue circle and scalloped circle were cut with my Nestabilities.  The bunny is cut at 2.5".  The base is black card stock, layer one is pink and layer 2 is white, the tummy is also pink.  Happy Easter is cut from white and shadowed with pink.  The layered rectangle and the tab at the top were cut by hand.  I used a scalloped puch to make the edges on the tag.  I used silk flowers to bring more color into the page.
Here are some close ups of the page elements:

Scraps

One day I was cleaning up after a project and I decided to use the leftover pieces of paper, ribbon and embellishments to make new projects.  It's fun to challenge yourself to create something from bits and pieces of craft supplies.
These are some of the things I came up with:

Bits and pieces of paper, ribbon, punched borders gold and pearl bling lead to these three A2 cards.

I have this border package by K and Company for the beach.  I combined pieces of the border, scraps of paper, a left over Cricut Whale cut, and some dew drops.

I had some left over acetate for the window.

Of course ever shell needs a pearl :)

This was my favorite.  I had a very small piece of the pink paper with a floral bouquet.  I combined it with another small piece of pink paper, left over ribbons and pearls.

I think it could be a birthday, thank you or even a get well card.

Thanks for stopping by.

S-fold Animal Cards

I've been playing again.  This time I was trying to use up all the critters I created when I purchased the Create-A-Critter Cricut cartridge.  I decided I would make birthday cards for children using the S-fold technique.  So, I got out my scraps of paper, card stock and went to work.  Here are the results.

So many critters, so little time...sigh

I love S-fold cards.  Anything interactive makes the cards just more fun.

I love using the Cuttlebug on the images to add more dimension. 

Thanks for looking, please leave a comment if you can.

Well Dressed Turkey

Fall is a great time of year. It doesn't feel out of place to make cards for a variety of reasons.  The Create-A-Critter Turkey is so stinking cute  I made him - dressed for dinner so to speak.  I cut him and his parts at 3.5"  Then I cut an extra couple of tail feathers one at 3.13" and one at 2.81" and layered them with foam tape.  I used the Cuttlebug to add dots to his breast and bubbles to his wattle.  I had green googly eyes to brighten his face.
Just a fun card.  Thanks for stopping by.
