Dreams Do Come True

Here is an 8x8 two-page layout I created for my granddaughter's Disneyland scrapbook.  Before we left, I cut out character images to use as autograph embellishments for my pages.  I used the charm feature for these two and then cut the shadow in black.  I then inked the edges to make them stand out a bit more.  It was a lot of work beforehand, but I love the results.

 Here is a closeup of the autograph charm. 





Here is a look at the Snow White autograph charm.

Hope you enjoy it!  Thanks for looking.

Treat Pocket

Here is a little pocket card that will fit an oatmeal packet, cocoa packet or something of at size for a little treat for someone special.  I used the cuttlebug swirls embossing folder, decorative label and owl punches from Stampin' Up.  The pocket is made using a piece of paper cut at 12 x 5 and scored at 4 and 8 inches.  Make a mark down 2" on each end.  Then draw a diagonal line from the top of the paper down to the mark beginning at the closest score line.  Trim off the corners.  Apply adhesive along far lower right corner L shape. Fold left panel over.  Apply adhesive to left edge of front panel and fold over to create the pocket.  Cut another piece of paper 3 1/2 x 4 1/2"  Mark down 2" on the right side of the 4 1/2" length and trim the top edge off.  Apply to front of pocket.  Embellish as desired.  Insert treat packet.  Thanks for looking.

Tote-ally Tess Birthday Card

 Today I have a cricutless card.  I know, it's so hard to believe, I didn't use the cricut for any part of this card.  This is a standard A2 card size.  The girl and card stamps are from Tote-ally Tess stamp set by SU.   The cupcake is from itty bitty bits stamp set, also from SU.  The card is pink piroutte with pear pizzaz background embossed with the Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder.  I sponged garden green ink across the top of the swirls and inked the edges.  Sentiment tag is punched from the decorative label punch from SU.  Make a wish and Girlfriend are from My Pink Stamper Family and Friends stamped in cherry cobbler ink on Pretty in Pink DSP by SU.  The birthday border is from My Creative Time stamped on Traditions Citrus pack paper and embossed in white.

I added some glazed dimensionals on the frosting of the cupcake just to make it stand out a bit more.  Thanks for looking!
