My Little Shoe Box Layout Sketch Challenge

I have not done any scrap booking in a long, long time. However this fun sketch from My Little Shoebox really sparked my interest and I had to give it a try. I love this collection of papers from My Little Shoebox called Robots Unplugged and thought it was perfect to use for my son's second birthday photos.

Hope you liked seeing something different, please leave me a comment and become a blog follower.

Have a great day!

FWF and some news to share

First off is my big news, I have 4 cards published in this month's issue of Cricut Magazine, I am so excited! Because the focus of this publication is Cricut, the main focal point must be a Cricut image, however, I did use Unity Stamps for the sentiment of three of the cards. I love how so many of Unity's cute sentiments go so well with Cricut images, so fun to combine the two.

Here's the cover of the magazine...

Here's a sneak peek at one of my projects...

Hope you can get your hands on a copy of the April/May 2011 Cricut Magazine and check out all my cards on pages 42, 55, 61 and 113.

Now on to my FWF creation. I made this card to submit to a magazine call, but ended up changing to a different design, so I thought I'd give you a look at the original. Hope you leave a comment, thanks for visiting today.

Have a Blessed Day,

Carol

It's Friday - Time for Unity's Friends With Flair

Just a simple, one layer card today which is so quick and easy to make. I used a mask and some blue chalk to create the oval sky. I then stamped the cute butterflies and sentiment from Unity's April 2011 Kit of the Month, which you can find here: http://www.unitystampco.com/product/13-kit-of-the-month.aspx Unity's Kit of the Month is such a great deal and each kit is always full of great stamp images that you will actually use.

Cosmo Cricket is teaming up with CARDS Magazine to find a card which will be published in an upcoming issue, how fun is that??

I love, love, love DeLovely, it is so fun and happy!
