Roscoe

We have a new baby in the house. Meet Roscoe. He is a 10 week old mini chihuahua and a real sweetie. 

I used Cricut's Mothers Day Flowers and Country Carnival on the Imagine to make the flowers underneath the photo and the Silhouette for the title, corner cut, bone, and the print and cut for the side tab.  The stem was cut from a Sizzix border die.  The bone rests on a Martha Stewart Punch All Over the Page punch. I hand cut the side boder in a scallop. 

Recipe Folder

My DD just got her first apartment and has asked for some of my recipes  (Does that do a mother's heart good, or what?) I made this for her, using Cricut's Kates Kitchen and From My Kitchen Cartridges.

Now I just need to find time to put in the recipes.

Future Scrapper

When I was a child, I loved to draw, color and basically any craft.  It has stuck with me through my life.  Little did I know as I took those crayons, pens, glue, construction paper and scissors, I was scrapbooking. I just never added pictures to my art.  This is me as a child while on vacation visiting my cousins in Ohio.  I think  I was 5 or 6, given the haircut. This pic was just posted on facebook by my cousin, and again  it was  the first time I ever saw it.  I will treasure this for it shows that this craft is one of the foundations of who I am. Also, it is one of the few pictures where I look like my daughter.  What a treasure.  This is on my list of my personal all time favorites.

I was so excited to get the photo, I forgot to try something new. I guess cutting the metallic paper was new to me.  I have had it for months and never found anything special enough to use it on.  This scrap was worthy to me.  The cuts came from Cricut's Sentimentals.  I never thought I would use the feather pen and hand from that cart, but this scrap was perfect for it. It was the first cut I made.  I also used the Martha Stewart Hydrangea Punch to make the smaller flowers.   The blingy centers are Creative Imaginations.  The title font is from Don Juan, another cart I had not yet used.
