Layout For Shadow Box

This is a commissioned piece I did for a wedding picture, It will be in a shadow box. I loved the colors in her bouquet so used it as my accent color. I love these papers from K&Co.

I made my flowers from the flower cut from Home Accents....2 layers each in 3 different sizes. I love the flourish from Home Decor.

Forever and Adore are cut from Home Decor as well...I added ribbon to the bottom and the top.

This is one of the invitations from the wedding...the mat for it and the picture were cut from mats from A Child's Year card cut.

I added leaves from A Child's Year....a pin with some beads and a love charm, a few pearls and some stickles....I 'm very pleased with the outcome...thanx for stopping by during this busy time~

A Bit Of Christmas For The Little Ones.....

These are some trays I found on sale for 5 dollars at Michael's....I thought what a great thing to decorate with my cricut...Imagine that! I added alphas, numbers, shapes, colors and names to these for my Great Nieces and Nephew that are preschool age....

I will fill the pockets with books, play dough, puzzles, etc.....I think they are really fun and had to throw a bit of education in there!

I used layers and layers of Mod Podge so they would be wiped off easily.....this is a close up of Donny's.....Hope you are all having a fab Holiday Season....thanx for stopping by!

Naughty but Good at it

This layout is for my younger sis.....I do not have the photo I want to add yet...it will be similar to the photo of my older sis....I really love love love the Winter Wonderland papers from K&Co and could not wait for a chance to use them....The background paper is from that stack and all the others are card stock except for the metallic black I used for the thin circle which was cut with the circle cut from Plantin Schoolbook....I just placed a slightly smaller circle inside of a larger one to cut the thin outline. The font is from Blackletter.

I used the holly, snowflake and mat cuts from A Child's year....adding some bling for the berries and lots of stickles for some glitz~

My younger sis loves angels so I cut my paper in three places along the bottom and rolled it back. I added sheet music as the little angel gown. The wings are from Indie Art....I used the shadow cut and layered them. The face is a circle cut from Plantin and the hair is from Paper Doll Dress Up. I added some stars for the halos. Eyes were drawn with a pin and a bit of chalk for the rosy cheeks.

Another shot of the angel along with the flower I made......Of course more stickles!

The flower was made with the holly cut from A Child's Year. I cut four....added some chalking...layered them with pop dots to get the look I was after and added some gold bling to the center and more icicle stickles....I really like the way it came out and can't wait to add the pic!~Hope everyone is having a happy and safe holiday season...thanx for stopping by!
