Two New Projects

I started this week off with a fun and quick layout using the new "Golf Cart" pattern by Cuddly Cute Designs. This file was super simple to cut and assemble! As soon as I saw this pattern I remembered some photos I had taken of the kids and grandkids several years ago all piled up in golf carts and loving their rides up and down the street. I popped up the paper pieced golf cart with foam tape for dimension, added a title, and the layout was done!

Here's another fun project I made using last week's Cuddly Cute Designs' FREEBIE file, "Carnival Games". I didn't really have a project planned when I was cutting it out and assembling, but I kept remembering something I saw on the Internet somewhere a while ago that had a saying sort of like this one and thought, 'how fun would this be to make as a wall hanging for my scraproom?' It's a little "tongue in cheek" and different, but oh so true and I'm sure there are some of you out there who could totally relate!!!

Don't you just love it when you can use any of these great CCD files for something fun and crazy??? I sure do! This Carnival Games cutting file was so easy to put together and is available under the "Past Freebies" link on the CCD website! 

Be sure to check out these files and all the other amazing ones on the Cuddly Cute Designs website: www.cuddlycutedesigns.com. And don't forget they have a great End of Summer Sale going on! 

Until next time... Happy Scrapping!

Happy Birthday Layout

Hello and Happy Thursday!  Since my birthday was earlier this week I thought I'd make a birthday layout.  I've had this background paper by Best Creations for a very long time and when I re-discovered it in my stash I was really drawn to the colors and the sparkly balloons and stars.  So, as you can see, that's what I selected to use for my layout.  And, of course, I used four different shades of my beloved BoBunny dot papers!

Aren't the paper piecings just adorable?  They are all made from the "Happy Birthday" set by Cuddly Cute Designs and you can see that pattern on their website HERE.   I absolutely LOVE the font that the title is made from.  I don't know which font it is (as it's part of the pattern), but it is just so fun looking don't you think?  I love how the "i" is dotted with a little star as it totally matches the little glittered stars that are part of my background papers.

As part of my ongoing goal to use something "old" on every project, I actually dug out some Doodlebug Flocking that I just HAD to have about eight years ago and have never used!  I used some of the purple flocking on the girl's party hat to make it look all fuzzy and girly and I think it turned out cute!

Look at all these presents!  These were so super easy to assemble that I made two sets!

What's a birthday celebration without cake, right?  This birthday cake was so easy to put together.  I decided to decorate it a bit and used some Silver Liquid Pearls and then added Gold Liquid Pearls to the serving platter.  I purchased the Liquid Pearls at the last Scrapbook Expo I attended in March so I was excited to finally use them!

Of course you need balloons at a birthday celebration!  I applied Diamond Stickles to the balloon strings so that they matched the ones on my background papers.  And what a fun coincidence that the background balloons had shimmery bows on them.... just like the ones in the Cuddly Cute pattern!  Meant to be... LOL!

Thank you for stopping by today!  Until next time... Happy Scrapping!

SPARKLES the Clown Layout

Happy Tuesday!  Today I'm sharing a layout I just completed that I titled "Clowning Around with SPARKLES the Clown".

Last weekend I took two of my grandkids to the Chocolate Festival here in town and one of the vendors had SPARKLES the Clown there making all kinds of fun things out of balloons for the kids.  For whatever reason they BOTH wanted a pirate's sword with a belt and SPARKLES whipped them up in no time at all.

For this layout I used the Cuddly Cute Designs​ pattern called "Cute Clowns" and also used the fun little flowers from the "Wow Title" file because they pretty much matched my background paper perfectly and worked as a great cover-up for the person photo-bombing in the pictures LOL!  

I used sequins for the flower centers (which was so easy to split in half on the one flower), lots of Stickles to add "sparkle" on my letters and flowers, and the red border is from my stash of Bazzil "Just the EDGE" Cardstock Strips.  My background papers are by BoBunny (absolutely LOVE them!)

I designed my title in SCAL2 and used the Mandingo and the Action Is JL fonts. As I mentioned before, I added Stickles to the letters for my own "sparkle". The pictures don't make the letters look very good, but in "real life" they really do look pretty!

The pattern from Cuddly Cute Designs can be found HERE  It also comes with an adorable little dog wearing a polka dotted party hat.

Thanks for looking!  Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
