Tea Party Picture Layout

My daughter and I had the opportunity to go to a "Tea Party" and learn about proper etiquette and wear dress up clothes.  It was a lot of fun.  I used a file from KaDoodle Bug Designs  called "Sweet on You Bears" to make this layout and instead of the shake in it, I substituted both girl dolls and a tea pot.   Then I just cut an extra and used it as a peaking bear coming out of the teapot.   Cute little bears aren't they!

I'm entering it into this challenge this week:

Little Ghoulies Layout

 

 

What fun piecings to work with!  These came from Designs on Cloud 9.  Aren't they adorable.  I just had to make them. There were several challenges going on so I incorporated some into my layout for the day.  One was to use a jar....now how do you use a jar on a Halloween layout, you incorporate a spider in it of course!  LOL.  It looks just like it belongs.  This paper is around 5 years old....instead of buying new, I'm trying to use up what I have cuz I have TONS....I'm a scrapbook horder....anyone else with me?

Birthday Fun to Crow About Layout

 

 

 

 

My daughter's birthday is around Halloween.  So this year she had a late over with friends and they painted pumpkins and hung out.  It was such a fun event.  I found these cute little crows somewhere and new that they would make a cute "Birthday Fun to Crow About" page.  My daughter doesn't like "pink" so I think she will like this layout!  LOL.  So I'm entering them into a few challenges including Docerela, Die Cutting Divas, and some others.  Hope you have a great day....I'm not off to do housework!  Ugh!

Dog and Pumpkin Tag

Today I had a few minutes and noticed that their were a couple of challenges going on so I decided to make me a new bookmark since one of the challenges was a tag.  I also used just scraps to create this whole project.  :-)   It will be a fun addition to my book!

40 is Sweet Layout

 

 

 

Some people dread birthdays but I'm not one of them.  I've never had a personal birthday that bothered me although my husbands 30th did for some reason.  LOL.  Anyway, I've always been thankful for the gifts in my life and a birthday to celebrate them on.  Hence, instead of over the hill or whatever, to me my 40th was a sweet birthday full of love and family.

I love the paper on this one and it's been in my stash FOREVER and it looks like "Tea and Granny's! LOL).  I'm still trying to use up my old stash instead of buying new and I find that I don't use pastels really that often even though I think this paper is pretty.  Anyway, I pulled it out and decided to use it on this cute layout.  I've always wanted to do a layout with watermelons and bears but never had any photos to use it on.  I decided that I could use the title to make the watermelons work.  So...here is my sweet treat layout!  :-)

Winter Bird Cards

 

When Kadoodle Bug Designs gave out this cute little winter bird pattern free, I just knew I had to make it.  Isn't he cute!  I always have a lot of winter pages to do so I know that he will get put to good use.  These little birds were cut from scraps.  I love to make cute things out of leftover paper from other projects.  Wouldn't he be cute with a Santa hat on Christmas pages too?
