Ouch! What a slacker I am! oh well- going to make up for it now! I didn't do a lot in April- but im have been on a roll since the 1st of May! 4 layouts, 2 moms day cards, 2 teach appreciation cards, and 2 mini albums to go with the mom's day cards! WOO HOO! All here in one small spot for you to enjoy :)

Beach Buds- DCWV Tahiti Beach patterned paper and the Fiskars Boundary Waters punch. The tag is from a swap last summer. I really love that I have pictures (Thanks Jazzmine) of the first time Dallas and Gavin met. They are so cute together and really enjoy playing.

Park It- DCWV Songbird patterned paper. Sizzix cut title. EK Success Notebook edge punch. The shadow on the letters is colored vellum.

 

Mr. Mom- the circles are all cut from Plantin Schoolbook and the title is Pooh Font. The edge punch is fiskars effervescence. (I think thats what its called). The stamp is just one I had laying around.

 

Carefree Dude- I got this collection of Autumn Leaves "Super Star" papers, ribbon, and rub-ons form Tuesday Morning for like $3. I thought it was cute and I would use some of it eventually. Then when I pulled these pics out of the stack to scrap- I knew they were the perfect papers!!! Love how this turned out. Its very rare I dont use my cricut, and I never use rub-ons- so this was totally outside my creative box!

 

Teacher Appreciation Cards- I got the idea for these cards from TeriBeri's blog back in August. I just filed the info away and was thrilled when I remembered it this week when I need to make them!

Mom's Day cards- I got the idea for these cards from the recent Paper Craft's magazine. They used a fabric flower- but since I am fabric impaired- I went with this AWESOME layered flower that I got the svg file for from www.myscrapchick.com. I love it! The cards are very similar, the second one has a slightly larger flower and different accents on the tag. One if for my mom and the other my step-mom.

Mini Albums- the directions for these came from www.eighteen25.blogspot.com and are SO super cute! they are 4"x4" finished and accordion out to fit 7 pictures. It would be super easy to add more paper to accomodate more pics if you wanted to. I put pictures from the baby's birthday party in them and included them with the mother's day cards.
