3 of US

Among my immediate family there were three children.  I am the youngest, the middle child is my brother on the left and the oldest is in the middle. Love my bros.  This photo was taken in 1976. 



I used the sizzix vintage doily die cut and used Cricut's Paper Lace cartridge to make the smaller doily. The title was cut with Cricut Craft Room Basics.  The flower was made at 4" using the Art Philosophy cartridge.  The photo corners were from the Heritage Cartridge.  The tags were made from an older punch I have. I made two and cut the bottom off one and glued it on the other.  The border at the top was made with a Martha Stewart Punch. 

Vintage

My nephew loves to rebuild old cards. This was his second.  A Plymouth.



I used Ribbons and Rosettes for the vintage flower and Art Nouveau for the titele.  The chipboard was from my stash I had laying around. I painted it with a Jenni Bowlin Paint Dabber, then inked it with distress stain in Walnut.  The papers are from Basic Grey, and My Minds Eye.

February Memory File..A Heidi Swapp Scraplift

I loved these folders from the minute I saw them on the CHA You Tube Videos. Heidi Swapp has come out with a line of folders that you scrap and sells the boxes you can put them in.  I decided to try my hand at making one in the Cricut Craft Room.  I see now I need to adjust my F in FEB and the inner layout could be better, but I just wanted to see how to put one together, dimensions..etc.  Cool huh?



I used the Ancestry and Country Carnival carts to make the embellies. The folder was welded using Art Philosophy.  For two sheets of white paper and a package of plastic die casts from my stash....not bad.

Rules

This is a pic of my daughter and her beaux.  The Daily Junque paper set I bought, has a list of things that show the rules of basic respect.  They tend to respect them all naturally.  I loved this pic because of the heart shaped straw being in the forefront. 



The paper is by Pink Paisley and I found it at Hobby Lobby during a paper set sale.  The diecut journal block, title and borders were from Cricut. I used the Ribbons and Rosettes Cartridge and Cricut Craft Room Basics.  The stacked flowers were from Prima.  The stickers are just cut outs from the Daily Junque papers.  I am really enjoying the diversity of this paper line.
