Enjoy Life Layout

Hello friends - today I have a layout to share with you - and yes, it is of my adorable grandson, Noah who turned one last month - time has flown by so quickly!  When he was born, I decided to create a Scrapbook of him - rather than a Baby Book and I have been working really hard behind the scenes to fill it - typically, this one has more pages than any of my others...LOL!

I have used Spellbinders 5x7 Em-bossing Folder Maze by Seth Apter of The Altered Page which has been inked and had the photo mounted on it using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.  I have also used A stamp from Unity Stamp Company, Kaisercraft rubon, Washi Tape, letters from Authentique Paper, chipboard sentiment from Quick Quotes, along with bits and pieces from my stash.

This layout is linked to the following challenges:

Purrfect Snapshot Smile

Hello friends - today's card is a little whimsical using a cat image I purchased in a set  a long time ago - I love cats and could not resist them - they will be appearing on a few cards from time to time.

I have used one of the newly released Spellbinders Die D-Lites Smile Up - so cute and perfect for any project - I can see it being used on a layout or two!

I have used the Spellbinders Donna Salazar Designs Chicken Wire Em-bossing Folder to emboss the pink background and sponged it using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Memento ink in London Fog.

The embossed circle is from the Spellbinders Laced with Love Blooming Collection.   Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: E-Z Adhesive Runner and 3D Foam Squares have been used on this card.

With all my Love

Hello friends - Today I am showcasing one of the new Spellbinders Em-bossing Fold'ers - Flowers and Leaves.  This folder, along with a number of others is single sided - what do you think?!

I have used the Spellbinders A2 Curved Matting Basics A Card Creator for both my card base and embossed layer.  The image is from the Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments Collection.  Cut/emboss one Captivating Squares #2 (#1 being the smallest), cut in half diagonally, layering under the top right corner of the image.  Adhere the layer image onto a script rectangle,slightly larger than the image; adhere to the center of the embossed paper.

 Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: E-Z Adhesive Runner and 3D Foam Squares have been used on this card and the bling is from Want2Scrap.
