Flying High

I'm trying to get some scrapbooking done for my granddaughter and grandsons albums.

I had my daughter email me some of her favorite pictures that she would like in their albums. This last week I have been trying to get some layouts done of some of her pics. This was a picture of  Michelle out kite flying last April.  I love the angle my daughter took this picture at.

I used papers by Three Bugs in a Rug that I had in my stash. I thought they were perfect for this picture. The paper was so cute I felt like I really didn't have to add to much else. The little kite was cut out with my Cricut using the Create A Critter cartridge.

Supplies used: card stock - pink; patterned papers from Lazy Summer and Snips & Snails both by Three Bugs in a Rug; alphabet stickers by The Girls Paperie; plastic alphabet by Heidi Swapp; die cut in Lazy Summer by Three Bugs in a Rug; Create A critter Cricut cartridge; Pop Dots

Wishing Away Your Cloudy Day / CTO #111

Today is the last day of April and tomorrow is the first of May, which made me think of the saying "April Showers Bring May Flowers" and that was my inspiration for my card.

Our challenge this week over at Celebrate The Occasion is "Anything Goes"!!! Therefore it was up to my imagination to come up with something this week. I decided to wave goodbye to April and say hello to May by using rain boots holding a bouquet of flowers.

For my boots and sentiment I used a stamp set by The Stamps of Life called boots4rain and the flower bouquet is a print and cut from Silhouette Studio.

Supplies used: card stock - white; patterned papers - Lazy Summer Stripe by Three Bugs in A Rug, Thrilled in Happy Go Lucky by Pebbles and Madam in Letterbox by American Crafts; Silhouette Studio cut file; stamps - boots4rain by The Stamps of Life; ink - Tuxedo Black by Memento; twine and button - my stash; Pop Dots.

I hope you'll come and link up with us over at CTO  for our "Anything Goes" challenge and stop by to see the great inspiration the design team has!!!!

The Pop-Up inside is also a Silhouette Studio cut file. I did add a few pearls on the flowers and a bow on the bunny.
