Cute cards with WOTG Typeset and Cricut Philosophy

 

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to show you a few cards I made using the CTMH Typeset WOTG and the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.  What is really neat about this cartridge is that there are several card shapes that can be cut a different size making it a gem for card makers.

 

The stamp set in the kit has some images that coordinate with the Cricut Cartridge which made making these cute cards a breeze.  I used the Typeset WOTG kit, wooden buttons, Cocoa ink and re-inker, and some thread. Hint:  When using this kit, save the tab at the top of the pattern paper.  You can use it to help embellish the cards.

Old House with Studio J

 

Hello Everyone,

Today, I have a 2 page layout of a very old house using the Studio J digital studio.  I like how I could take the photos and rearrange them, resize them and even go black-n-white with a click of the mouse.

 

I am not sure what happened with this house.  I am sure there is a story but I really liked how the house was sitting with the trees. Here is the picture of the left page:

And here is a picture of the right page:

I ordered this layout to be printed and with that I received a jpeg image.  Nice to be able to post it to my blog.

Well, that will do it for me.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Canvas Mini Album

 

Hello Everyone,

 

I have been in such a creative funk.  I have made a few things and wasn’t inspired to put them on my blog because they didn’t do much for me.  Today, I received the Limited Edition Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.  I love these kits.  There is so much in them.  I had browsed their blog and saw a designer create a mini album with the canvas sheet that came in the kit and suddenly I was inspired.

I found some older photos that were sitting around and thought they would be perfect for this album.  I took the 12x12 sheet and cut it into 4 6x6 squares.  Using my color catcher, I Glimmer Misted and Pearl Ex sprayed each square with various colors.  For the cover I used several of the die cuts that came in the kit to create a layered affect.  I added pearls to the butterflies and punched two holes on the side for the ribbon.

I used various flowers and die cuts to the pages framing this photo taken back in 1939.  I used a prima vine that came in the kit along with some rub-ons to create the adjoining page.  Some fussy cutting was also used in the frame on the right page.

 

On these two pages I cut out some frames that were on a 12x12 sheet of paper from the kit and used it as a backdrop for the photo on the left.  I placed a die cut crown over the little boys head and thought wow at such a young age…Dream Big!

The photo on the left spans 4 generations.  I glimmer misted the white flower yellow and something happened where parts of the flower turned pink.  I loved the affect and had to use it with this photo.

All in all I really love how this turned out. I am amazed how I am able to create different artwork by just being myself.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
