You're such a Hoot

I wanted to use this owl from the moment they released it in October. At Christmas one of our nephews was playing in a cloths hamper. When I tried to take his photo he turned his head, when I told him I would keep his presents I got a cheesy smile. The owl is a Quickkutz download and then I used one of the branches. I removed the cutout eyes and used googly eyes instead. Well, I am off to teach class. Have a good day!

Random shapes

We had snow yesterday, so I took photos of all of my layouts for my blog. The top two photos are a cupcake from the Block Party portfolio CD. After I cut it out I used the cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the top with swirls and then I used sparkly embossing powder. For the bottom of the cupcake I used the crimper. The next one is just a cute little snow hat. I have another layout that I need to fix but I used the top of the hat and made it into a meatball. Julie Case used it as an egg last week for a recipe divider. For the pizza, I used the shapes on the side of the silhouette and then used the scallop circle and topped it with little pepperonis. After it was done I cut the pizza crust so it looked tossed. I designed it on the screen by layering it so I could get the proportions correct. So, that is all for this post. I am going to add some more layouts in a minute.

What's a Cuttlebug?

So I was asked what a cuttle bug is. It is a machine similar to the bigshot that you can emboss or die cut with. If you look at the birthday layout that has the nubers on the side, I embossed it with the cuttlebug and then inked it. I will be teaching a class in May and June on the differences in the die cut machines and how to use them. Which is the perfect class for me the tool junky. If you go to http://www.thescrapbookpageonline.com/ you can checkout all of the latest classes. I have several Silhouette 101 and 102 classes. I have seen the other instructors layouts and they are all super cute. Tomorrow I will try to post a new layout. Have a good evening.

Comment Moderation

Thank you to everyone who has sent me comments. I just learned today when I was editing a post that I have to look at the comments for them to post. My husband said look you have 5 comments. So sorry it took me so long to post your comments.

Spring layout

Spring is getting closer. Yesterday it was 80 degrees here. I love spring! This layout is a day in our yard last summer. The birds are the birds a calling from the 12 days of Christmas on the silhouette. The little flower I sketched. I love sketching things it gives it a real handmade look. I really need to take some more photos I am running out of layouts on my computer. I also need to scrapbook. I am going to the Omaha Zoo tomorrow. So I will have more pictures to scrapbook. I am so far behind. Well, have a good evening.

Science Layout

Good afternoon! I used the above layout of my husband and nieces doing science experiments. My sisters oldest daughter loves science just like my husband. The beaker is from the quickutz website of course. For my nieces birthday party my sister made slime and put them in test tubes and then used the Little beakers to put the instructions on. They were super cute. Well have a good day.

Birthday layout

This page layout is a very simple. I used the Happy Birthday title from Block party. I have used it on every birthday layout this year. I then used ultra think embossing powder and embossed the happy birthday. When you see the layout in person it looks like vinyl. Well that is all I am going to post for today. I still have some more layouts to post. It will probably be next week.

Brian's Birthday

Here is a layout I love. I used the cuddle bug numbers embossing folder and then inked it on the paper on the sides. For the celebrate and the 35 I used the block party portfolio cd. I love the cd's the rumor is they are going to quit carrying them.(QK has not confirmed this.) However, we still have some at the Scrapbook Page.

carving pumpkins

O.K. so I am way behind on my scrapbook. Last fall I went to pumpkin patch with my sister and the girls. So, for the first time in a long time we decided to carve pumpkins. Mainly because I wanted fried pumpkin seeds. We still had fun. The frame that the fall art is on is from the QK web site it is frame 1025. And the jack o' lantern is pumpkin 802. I just removed the vines.

Free font websites

Good morning! Everyone keeps asking me where you can find Disney characters to cut. A few weeks ago a customer showed me some tree dingbats she had cut out that she found on refont.com. They are really cool. They also have Hello Kitty and Mario Brothers just to name a few. So, I went on the hunt for Disney and after several days of searching google I hit the jackpot. i-love-disney.com/downloads/disney-cartoon-fonts. When you go to cut them if you first weld them then you are able to ungroup them so you can get your layered looks. Well, have a good day! I may post some layouts later today.
