Pop Up Flower Card

I just got this die and had to give it a try and then liked it so much I bought this flower .svg  like this to use also.  It is easier and faster to cut on the machine as I can cut all pieces at once whereas a die I have to cut one piece at a time.  I love my new cut file.   What a beautiful flower it makes!  I can't wait to try it with some really pretty paper as this was just my first go at it, but I think it is pretty.  Can't wait to use this one again!

Bunny Box

I had purchased this cute little bunny box awhile ago from My Scrap Chick.  I love their boxes as they are so easy to assemble and super cute to give as a little gift.  Since we were in quarantine, I decided to make these little bunnies to put in my kids Easter baskets to make them look a little more festive.  I also made some cute little frogs and I had some Easter eggs on sticks that I had intended to put on a wreath, but was so glad that I had them on hand.  As it was, their Easter baskets turned out so super cute and they didn't feel bad at all on Easter morning.  I know that isn't the real meaning of Easter, but it is fun to have a little something just for fun after we talk about why we truly celebrate the season.

Valentine's Box Card

 

Lookie how sweet!  I bought this Valentine's Box Card from LoriWhitlock's shop and decided to make one for my family for Valentine's Day.  Here is my first one.  I have a few more to make.  So much fun though.  What a cute card.  It folds flat for mailing so I will make one for my Mom also.

Thinking of you square pull through card with hearts

I just love this card.  I had been wanting to make this card but hadn't.  Sadly, I have a friend who just lost her husband and I wanted to make something special for her to know she is loved.  I stayed up late one night making this card.  I love how it turned out.  It makes such a statement.   She loved it!  What a fun card.   Just wish it had been for a happier occasion.

Christmas Eve Layout 2015

 

This is my version of  project life.  I am so far behind on Christmas pages that I decided to try to make a simplified version of my normal layouts.   It worked and I completed at least one set of my Christmas photos.   I have 2015 through 2019.  Because there are so many "events and traditions" at Christmas, I actually dread getting started on them because it takes so long.  I do the same with vacation photos knowing that they will take forever.  I think that I will do a cover page and then finish them like these.  Simple and fairly fast to put together.  Yeah.  Now I just need time to do more of them.  Thanks for the challenge to get at least one done!

Freezing Layout

 

Well, here are some more cuts that I had left from a project from a couple of years ago.  I am trying to use some of these up!  LOL.  By mixing them with new cuts, you never know that they weren't made just for this page!  Can you tell which are the old ones and which are the new?  I believe these little birds were from Scrapping Bug Designs, the title is from Miss Kate's Cuttables and the snowflakes are punches!  What a great way to get a quick page done with some OLD photos.  LOL.  Love it when they are done and in a book instead of in my pile to do.
