Beary Cute LO

Hello Friends, today I have another Layout to share of my Son. This one is Called "Beary Cute" he was sooo darling when he was little...heheheehe and he still is. For this LO I used CottageCutz "Mr. Snuggles die for the Bears on my layout.

CottageCutz Mr. Snuggles is from the Winter Release from The Scrapping Cottage, and was cut using white card stock, and then dusted with distressed ink. I added pink cheeks and some white dots with a gel pen. Next I did his eyes with black Viva Pearl Pen.

The design Paper is another I bought at the American Crafts Warehouse Sale, its the Pebbles line. LOVE this!! Also used some stickers I bought there as well. Lastly I added some sewing to complete the page.


This page was pretty simple to make, as there is just the photo's matted and then I used the punches to punch out all the circles for the "beary cute". For the little banners by the bear at the bottom, I cut those and then added stickers to them, super easy!!!

Thank you for looking and hope you have a wonderful day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Little One Layout

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday to all! Cheryl here today to share a LO I did for my son's Album that I have been working on. I used the beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbons from this months ribbon Club Assortment.

This months Ribbon Club worked perfect for this Layout I did. I love Blue's and Brown together, and perfect for a little one. All three ribbons and Lace came from February's Ribbon Club found at Really Reasonable Ribbon here! 

My son will be 21 in April, and I have been trying to get some of his pages done for just his album, this will be another to add to the album for him.  The title of my page came from the design paper I used, it says little one under the little hedgehog at the top of the page. Thought it would be perfect for this layout. The little CottageCutz hedgehogs are dies I used to cut out the ones at the bottom of my page. They were colored with copic's and glued on. I also glued on my ribbon, stars, and even the Thicker's to be sure that nothing falls off.

I really enjoyed making this page, and sharing it today. Hope you all have a super wonderful day!


Thank you for looking!

Checked ribbon. I also used the Beautiful Crocheted Trim, love this trim too! Might have to order me a Roll :) hehehehe

I kept this mini simple, since it will go in one of the Project Life Envelopes that will be in his album. They are wonderful to add clothes and other goodies too. 

The dp, and cute stickers are from American Crafts(Pebbles) just love this collection! I did use some CottageCutz dies on the inside page, where his photo will go. I just didnt have a chance to add it yet, or any others :(

These Darling CottageCutz Hedgehogs are just the cutest, love them too! I just had to use them in here. They are colored with copics. Kept that super simple too.

Be Mine /Hedgehogs

Hello everyone, hope you all are having a super awesome week so far! Today's card is "Be Mine" CottageCutz Hedgehogs. LOVE LOVE LOVE these lil' sweeties, they are 1 of my Many CottageCutz Favorites :)

This card is a pretty simple and fast card to make. As most of my CottageCutz pieces were already cut and ready to go for me. So all I did was cut a 5 x 5 card base, and then some design paper for the background piece. Glued them all down and was done! Super fast and easy card!

The Be Mine is also from The Scrapping Cottage, its called CottageImpressions and they are retired and on SALE, but you can pick them up here for 3.00 for the set of stamps.

I added some Brown Seam Binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and the hearts are button hearts from American Crafts sale.

I have been trying to use up some of the Design Paper and goodies I bought from the American Crafts Warehouse sale. I bought soooo much stuff but at a super AWESOME deal, I just couldnt pass up! :) At least I have been using it since I have purchased it all :) so that is good

I hope you all have a wonderful day, and thank you for stopping by!
Hugs to all,

Cheers To You Treat Bag


Hello everyone, and Happy Tuesday to all! Today I'm sharing a Treat Bag made for the Scrapping Cottage using the darling CottageCutz Dies. I love making treat bags, as they are super fun to decorate using the CottageCutz Dies! Today I used the CottageCutz Sweetheart Tiered Cake,Sweet Cupcake Border, Tea Time Doily,Sweet Love Doily, and Love Tags,all CottageCutz Dies.


For my Tiered Cake, I used white card stock to cut out all the pieces, and then colored them with Copics. I left the cake stand white and used some really pretty glitter to glitz it up a bit. I also did the same for the leaves on the Strawberry. My Sweet Cupcake Border ,Sweet Love Doily, and Tea Time Doily were both cut in white as well. For the Love tag, I cut it in pink, and then distressed it with pink distressed ink.

Photo's below are linked for easy finding at 




Thank you for looking and have a super wonderful day!

More spools, and then some heart shaped baskets that have the Really Reasonable Ribbon flowers in them. I also keep some of the RRR monthly club kits in another heart shaped box, you can see it up on the hat boxes to the bottom right of this photo.

VO Gift Card Holder

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all!!
Today I am sharing a Gift Card Holder I made using a Pre-made Card that I bought at the American Crafts Warehouse Sale. I made this Gift Card Holder for Victorine Originals "Gift Card Challenge" that started today. You can find it HERE!

 This was super easy to make, as all I did was use score-tape to close my card at the one end, and then used a tag for the inside. Next I decorated the front using CottageCutz dies, and the beautiful sentiment stamp is from Victorine Originals. Love their sentiments, as they have sooo many to choose from. 

The ribbon I used is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, its the blue satin with grosgrain edge. LOVE this its always been one of my favorites. For the Roses, these too were bought at the American Crafts Warehouse sale, and I got such an AWESOME deal on them!

I also used the NEW CottageCutz Garden Delight Bird Die, and colored it with copics. Its a CottageCutz Elite, so its 1 cut. super easy. Next I used the CottageCutz Tea Time Doily, and the darling Sweetheart Border!


Thank you for looking and have a super wonderful day!
