Give Thanks!!

Here is my latest shape book. I was originally making this one to give away to the youth group again, but I spent so much time on this one that I decided to give it to my daughter.

I had so much fun designing and making this one. I love my little farm boy and girl. I used the Recollections fall paper pack and embelishments. The primary carts are PPDU, EDPD, DC, DT, SYI, Pooh and Christmas (for the window). The cut file is on the side bar. Thanks for looking!

Friends Word Book

I had to put together a drawing gift for the girl's youth group I'm involved with at the last minute. I designed and cut it out on Monday night, cut the letters and assembled it Tuesday morning and took some embelishments and paper to work and finished it Tuesday afternoon to give away Tuesday night! Phew, glad that's done. I would have added cute things cut with the E if I'd had time. Even though it's simple, I think it's pretty. I LOVE this paper. It's the DCWV Sweet pack. It's also great for making cards! The pastel paper is cardstock from Wal-Mart. Anyway, the girls loved it! If you want the DS cut file, let me know.

On the above 4 pages I liked the paper so much that I didn't add any photo mats. I figured the lucky winner could put a collage of pictures.

Halloween Shape Book

I finally finished the Halloween shape book. I used the Recollection Halloween paper from Ms and the coordinating stickers and ribbon I had on hand.

I think I should put journaling lines here since the space is too small for pix. I've redesigned this so that these pages are larger.

These pages I left blank because I love the paper.

I added the moon with pop dots. It was a piece that I cut off of another piece of paper from the same pack.

I wish I had done more embossing. I just forgot!

Love this layout. Bugjunkies idea. I used a cuttlebug embossing folder to make the fence and boards look like wood, along with the Cricut markers and smugged ink.

Wasn't so excited about the paper I had on this page. Therefore I added one big background for a pic or pix and the cute little guy from the coordinating stickers.


Love this page with the black cat and spider to go with the witch. I had to make a mad dash to Michaels last night to get the white pen to finish the spider and cat and get smaller googlie eyes.

These are the last 2 pages. I used my MS punch for the "Boo". I also used Shimmerz on the moon to make it kinda glow but not covered with Stickles because I wanted the spider web to show through. Hope you can see it.

I love this book. Just wish I had a young child to give it too!!

Anyway, thank you Lisa (Bugjunkie) for the inspiration!!

Summer Fun Word/Shape Book

This is the first word/shape book that I've completed. It was a lot of fun putting it together. It's made with Life's a Beach and the rectangle is from Zooballoo (although you can find that shape on many other carts). I used distress ink, ribbon, Stickles, buttons, Shimmerz & Blingz (to hopefully make the beige card stock look like sand). I also added a little charm to the binding. The cut file is to the right under DS Cut Files. Thanks for taking a look!

Cards for Silent Auction

These are cards that I made that I will be donating to a silent auction tomorrow for a youth group that I'm involved with. I hope they will be received well.... what do you think?
