A Living Doll???

I am making a scrapbook for my Nephew Sean. As the family scrapbooker it has become a tradition that I make each of my Nieces and Nephews  a Scrapbook when they graduate from High School. My Nephew Sean graduates from High School this year so now it is his turn. I'm under a bit of a deadline so you will be seeing a lot of Sean in the coming weeks.

This a picture of him dressed in his sister's tutu. His sister is 4 years older than him and is like his second mommy. She was playing dress-up one day and decided he would be cute to dress up also.

The black cardstock is DCWV, the pattern paper is from a stack from Scrapworks called "Formal Affair". The Tutu is cut from the "Once Upon A Princess Cartridge". The journaling is computer generated, the font is a Free Font from Creating Keepsakes from the Free Font Fridays this is the font for this week. The font I used is called CK Stylish Black. The ribbon is some I had.

The plain card stock is DCWV...the pattern paper is some I've had forever and I don't know who makes it. On the center step is a gift card box that I had crafted.

Winter Park Art Festival 2011

Today I went to the Winter Park  Art Festival, you can read about the festival here. It is the 52nd Festival and I have probably been to half of them. It is one of my favorite things to do in my hometown of Winter Park. I LOVE going to see the different kinds of art, browse the sidewalk sales, and grab a funnel cake. This year I was able to go on a Friday, which was wonderful as it was less crowded and I was able to see more of the booths. The Florida weather was awesome today. We had a beautiful spring day with a sunny sky and temps in the low 80's. My festival buddies were my Great-Niece Cadence and my mom. I'm usually NOT this good about getting a LO done the same day that I took the pictures, in fact this might be a first. This LO was super easy as I used a program that I picked up at the festival. Every year an artist is chosen to make a poster to advertise the show. They then sell T-Shirts of the poster art. The poster was on the front page of the program so I used it on the first page along with the pictures of Cadence wearing her new WPSAF T-shirt. On page two the 52 Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival title and the "Hey Kids" was also cut from the program. The journaling is computer generated. The plain colored cardstock is Core'dantions, the pattern paper is Kay&CO Wild Raspberry stack.

So Many March Birthdays

March has so many birthdays in it for me.  I have 1 sister and 3 brothers and there are 3 of our birthdays in one week in March. My middle brother Gerald's (Ger) birthday comes first on the 8th. He is very active and just this last year competed in an Iron Man. I got this free download from Persnickety Prints for digi scrapping. I have not figured out digi scrapping but I'm grabbing all the free downloads that I can so I'm ready to roll when I do learn. I was able to print it out one of the elements to make this spinner card. The cardstock is Corediantions. The "track" that the spinner spins in, is punched using a Stamping Up Punch. I first drew a line where I wanted the track to be then I punched it out one whole length then went back and punched it a second time so it would be wider.  The inside I did a computer generated sentiment that reads...Happy Birthday and Happy Trails to you.....



Birthday Card for a Friend

March has a lot of birthdays in it for me so got started today making cards. This one is for a special friend whose birthday is on the first of March. Those birthdays in the first few days of the month always seem to sneak up on me, I seem to think I have more time to make the card and get it sent off.

I used my Imagine and the Best Friends cart for most of this card. I LOVE LOVE being able to match my paper with my die cut and the best thing about the imagine is that it resizes the design in the paper to fit the size of the paper as you can see in the 2x2 squares. The plain cardstock is from Core'dinations and the sentiments are stickers *I'm using up the stickers I bought when I first got into scrapping* called stickeroos from Penny Black. This is a waterfall card that I got the instructions on how to make it here.....



Cadence Doing Her Valentines

This is my Great-Niece Cadence *my regular visitors know she is the love of my life*...she was working on her Valentines for her friends. She was "signing" her name to them.

The background paper is Bazzil cardstock in a pale pink. The pattern paper is from Me& M Big Ideas, the Modern Malin collection. The  middle heart is cut from the stock image on the Cricut Imagine and filled in with a pattern from Nursery Tails Cartridge. The Valentines are her actual Valentines. The small hearts on the left side are stickers from her Valentines and the circles that have the princesses on them are magnets that came with her Valentines. The LO was done from a sketch from Sketch Inspiration #208. I have been using sketches from them lately to jump start my LOs.
