"Happy Mother's Day" two page layout.

I just finished up this Mother's Day layout. The photo sizes are 4x6 and 3.25x6. I just placed the "blank photos" on for now and when I get photos I can remove the blanks and add real photos.

The papers and card stock are DCWV "Nana's nursery-baby boy" stack. Now I do not have boys, but I liked the colors in this stack and thought they would be great for this layout.

All of the flowers I put together, using the "sweet treats" cartridge. After cutting them out, I stiffened each of the flowers with mod podge which I mixed with PeralEx "macropearl"...they are shimmery in person. I folded the tips of the flowers for added dimension and held them together with a Stampin' Up brad.

The title was cut using the "Mother's Day" mini cartridge. I added some mini pearls for fun.

That's pretty much it. Thank you for looking!

My entry for "My Pink Designers"

This was my entry for My Pink Designer. The basket was cut from the "Easter" cartridge and the shamrock from "designer's calendar" cartridge. The face stamp is Peachy Keen Stamps "everyday character face assortment". The paper and cardstock is DCWV and from an older spring stack that I had. To make the grass inside the basket I cut thin strips from the left over paper and ran it through my Fiskars "wavy" crimper.

GREAT NEWS...

I was choosen to be a "Pink Designer" on My Pink Stamper. It was a total surprise as Robyn, Karlee, and Tammy announced the names during the live Ustream this evening. Congrats to all who was picked. This will be FUN!!!

"May" calendar page.

Here is my May calendar page. I know, it doesn't officially say "May" on it...but this is my daughter's birthday month so I thought I'd make a special page for her. With that being said here are the details. The photo sizes are 5x3 and 3x3. The pattern papers are BasicGrey "cupcake". The cardstock is a variety of Bazzill, DCWV, and Stampin' Up. The only thing I cut with my Cricut were the triangles for the banner. I used the "sweet treats" cartridge on page 44 of the handbook, it is the party hat cut! I just cut enough of those to spell out happy birthday and for some added interest I made stitched lines with my white pen. The alpha stamp is "doodle alphabet" by Close To My Heart. The "pleated paper" technique I got from Megan...thanks Megan!! The distressed flower I made, THANKS to Christina for the GREAT tutorial, using my SU scallop circle punch. I punched five scallops from a piece of pattern paper, crumpled them up, poked a hole in the middle, and put them onto a medium sized brad. I fussed with the scallops a little bit and adhered it to the page. I like how this one turned out. Thank you for visiting.

Happy Sunday...

Thought I would share some digital layouts I had made using PSE6.
