One handsome little devil

Description: Hello everyone made this lo for the Fire Works Challenge July Colour Challenge. Using the colors red, yellow, orange and black. Well I had thought about Dusty in his devil costume I bought for $2 at Babies R Us last fall before Halloween at that. Well I could not find the first pic of him in it. So I thought well will just dig it out, so last night i found it and it still fit enough being a 3-6 month size. Dusty is little. You can see in the pic he is trying to pull it off, he ran back and forth on the deck. I thought it was cute!! I altered the face area on photobucket. Products used:
*Bo Bunny pp Xtreme Red Grunge
*Rusty Pickle Chipboard Aplha and arrow
*flames cut from Cricut on Graphically Speaking cart. 2 1/4, and 3 1/4.
*Cosmo Cricket Gothic pp burnt around photos
*Range Stickles and ink
*Red glitter
*Diamond glaze

Magical ~Chirper Challenge #15~

Hello Everyone!!! I was so happy to hear the news.....I am now a proud member of the DT for the Chirper Challenge. I was sooo EXCITED when I found out!! Yes, I was doing the happy dance!! Smiles!!!! The challenge was to use the sketch.....well when I saw it.......everyone knowing me I can't do simple....I was lost....(me thinking I could only use this exact sketch) oh no that is tooo much negative space for me.....panic time! Okay I can do this....let me see...oh yeah sunshine was also apart of the challenge. Then when I found the Fancy Pants pp I said this is it. I added a sun from Graphically Speaking, then Magical from Tink. The wings are Fancy
pants. The pic really is magical to me. This is my 20yo dd Alexis and my 9mon. baby Dusty. They are 19 years apart. The journaling reads: Alexis you and Dusty look so magical together. To be 19 years apart your love for each other grows daily. Even though you are away at college he gets so excited when he sees you. This bond will be forever magical, it will shine thru both of you. I love both of you, forever shine!! Mom My dd Alexis loves this pic!! TFL!!

Lovely Ladybug

Description: Hello everyone I had made this lo of my cousins baby Ava. I found my inspiration from http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/346549/view/2070277/-1/0/1.html made by Mommyof3littlequeens. When I saw here lo I loved it soo much I asked her if I could use idea and she agreed, so thankful to her. Ava's room is ladybugs and she has a ladybug blanket......her lo reminded me of Ava so here is my version. Ava you are a lovely ladybug!!!! I used the Cricut for the flowers (I had none in those colors so I had to make them) cart geographically speaking on I con for the flower cut at 3/4, 1 1/4, 1 3/4, 2 1/4, 2 3/4. Then layered..then I used stickles on them in xmas red, orange peel, lavender, eucalyptus, turquoise, yellow. I also cut the ring from Cricut at fit to page from tear drop. The title was cut from Hello Kitty font at 1. Beautiful font!! The ladybugs were cut from Xyron Personal cutter on standard. Drew the white on and the black. I also used stickles on the ladybugs. The swirls are printed from the computer CKDOODLES at 180 onto Ink jet transparency film by 3M. I then colored in the back with stickles and turned over when dry and glued down with the tape runner. Various buttons, and DMC floss, popdots, and the pp is American Crafts backyard pop. TFL!!!!!!!! THANKS AGAIN Mommyof 3littlequeens.

You had to have an inspiration from the necklace that is made by Theresa Martin, a San Diego-based jewelry designer who creates unique handcrafted silver, brass, and gemstone jewelry designs. I especially enjoy creating one-of-a kind pieces with sterling silver and a colorful mix of gemstones and beads. So I was inspired when I saw the beautiful pieces of jewelry. Here is the cricut cuts, Title You better Believe it cut from Tink and Friends at 2 1/4. She's ALL That cut from graphically Speaking cut at 1 1/4, and 1 1/2. The leaves are cut from Accents essentials at 1/2, 3/4, and 1. The flourish was cut from Home Accents at 5 then used as a filer behind the flowers. The flowers are just ones I had forever...... The silver flowers are Jolee's. The bird is Maya Road felt, the butterfly came from Wal-Mart . The pp is MM, and the rhinestones. The pic is of Amanda when she was 1, now she will be 16 in a few days. TFL!!!!
