Trees

A friend of mine shared this idea with me. 
Paper Trees


They're fun to make, and are a great way to use scraps.

I kept this one simple, and used it on a fall/Halloween scrapbook page.

I haven't found a "home" for these, but I wanted to make some.

Simple spider web border

Use this cute spider web border idea for a scrapbook page or Halloween card.

I used this spider web stamp.

Using a black ink pad, I stamped the spider web all over the edge of the page,
overlapping and going off the page.  I used a scrap piece underneath.

You can use this as the page, or overlap with black like I did below.

Halloween Scrapbooking - Journaling

How I made a journaling section for my Halloween scrapbook page.



I cut this shape from the Storybook Cricut Cartridge, then cut it almost in half.



My inspiration.  From a Bo Bunny Halloween paper.

I used a candle stamp that had a straight edge and dipped the edge in black ink,
making the lines uneven and a little like a spider web.

I used the same Cricut cartridge cut out a little bigger for the border,
and trimmed up the top one to show more of the pretty border.

The finished look.  Of course I will be adding pictures and journaling,
and the other side of the paper is decorated, but more simply.

The spider webs are embossed, so they are sparkly and have a nice texture.

Paper Flower

I made my first paper flower using this video.



 I sprayed mine with glue and dipped it in dazzling diamonds glitter from Stampin' Up.  The Cricut cartridge I used had a flower with a hole in the middle, so that changed things a little.

Special Order Birthday Cards

I got inspiration from an idea book for this one and I love how it turned out.  I made it for a friend's blessingway, which is a celebration to support an expecting mother and help prepare her for birth.

Minnie Mouse Party

Here are the cupcake toppers I made for my niece's birthday party.

Wedding Card

My second cousin is getting married tomorrow, so I made them a wedding card.  I really enjoy weddings. 

They're great parties for old married couples with kids. :)

This is the envelope.

Thank You Cards

Here are the Thank You cards I made for my son's teachers on the last day of school.

I made a flower out of school themed paper.

1st Birthday Celebration

First birthdays are my favorite!  The theme was colorful and "all boy."

Invitations

Inside the invite

Coloring sheet rolls and crayons.  The adults had the most fun with these I think.

Decorations made with my Cricut machine.

The car is my favorite.

The cake!

Contents of the favor bags for the kids.  I especially like the mustache and whoopie cushion.

Got this on clearance and it went perfectly with the theme.

Paid 50 cents for this one.

We had a great time and I loved decorating and making the cake!
