Birthday Cards
Hi all! I have a couple of cards to share with you today. First up is a birthday card for my niece who turns one tomorrow. I started with the current color challenge at Color Dare:
My second card went together pretty quickly. I had colored this background a while ago, so that was ready to go. I cut the sentiment with my Cricut and adhered that down. I finished off the front with some Liquid Pearl dots.

First Communion Cards
Hello again! Today I have three First Communion cards to share. I started by cutting the three chalices and hosts using my Cricut and red, kraft, gold, rose gold, copper and cream cardstocks. Once those were cut and assembled, I went to work creating the backgrounds.
For my first card, I found the blue and green paper and thought it would look nice. I then found the green vellum. I ran that through an embossing folder. I matted the whole thing on blue cardstock. For the sentiment, I again used my Cricut and cut "Blessings" from coordinating green cardstock.
For my last card, I found a pretty pink background patterned paper and a pattened vellum for an extra layer. I scored the vellum so it would wrap around the patterned paper and adhered it to the back. I used the same color of cardstock for the sentiment on this card as I used for the wine layer.

Birthday Cards
I had extra of the butterfly background, so I used that for this card. I paired it with the same dark purple cardstock, but this time I used an embossing folder to add some texture. I used some washi tape to cover the seam between the two papers. For the sentiment, I used my Cricut to cut the frame and flower. I stamed the sentiment. The butterfly was left over from another project and the colors matched so I added it to this card.

Fairies in the Forest- Stick It Down

What I Like About You
My photos are bigger than what is prescribed in the sketch, but I made it work. For my background, I used a mask and spray inks to create the pattern. I didn't have an ink that matched the color of these costumes, but the mix of these two worked quite well! I collected some patterened papers from my stash that had similar colors and used my Cricut to cut the hexagons in different sizes. I matted my photos with gold cardstock to bring in the gold of the costumes. To use a little less, I cut the mat for one of the smaller photos from the center of the mat of the larger photo. I also used my Cricut for the title. For my journaling, I punched a tag from lined patterned paper and matted it on the glitter cardstock. My final little embellishments were some eyelets (haven't used those in a while!) and some gem stars.
Layouts From Sketches
Next is this sketch from Paper Issues:
I started by using my Cricut to make the big circular element with drawing and cutting. I added the photos and cut the title using my Cricut as well. I had these darker wood veneer pieces that went well with the paper I used for the background of my title, so I used those to embellish my page (the pieces on either side of my title were actually one piece that I cut in half and sanded the edges). I used a few other die cuts from my stash and some brown metallic Nuvo drops to finish off the layout.

April Calendar Page and a Card- Stick It Down
I used my marble Turnabout stamp to create the background. I used an embossing folder on a piece of cardstock across the bottom. I stamped the sentiment banner and fussy cut it. I stamped the leaves and fussy cut those as well. I started with just five, but decided to add a couple more to give the card a little more movement.

Motown
I played around with the sizes a bit to make it work with my photos. I started by finding black, white and blue papers in my stash. I then pieced the different papers together. I stamped and heat embossed the dot circles on the right side of the page above my smaller photo for some interest. To embellish my page, I used up some black flowers, blue buttons and blue gems. I used my Cricut to cut the title and music staff.
I am also entering this in the Color My Heart Color Challenge #591:

Grease
Hello all! I haven't posted much lately, but I have been busy scrapping and organizing. I had a scrapbooking weekend a couple of weeks ago where I worked on wedding pages from my husband's siblings weddings. I spent the following week completing that album. There are a lot of pages, and they are a little different from my typical style, so I won't be sharing those here.
I got back to scrapping with a dance layout. I started with this sketch from Rochelle Spears:
