Silhouette Cameo: Hot Chocolate Holder

Hi everyone! I wanted to share this modified project with you today.  It's a hot chocolate holder! I got this cut file from the Silhouette store, BUT it's really for note 3x4 cards! In the software I made the cut bigger and only cut out the box, none of the extra stuff that came with it. It made it the perfect size for my hot chocolate packets. I was able to fit three of them in there! 


The paper on three of the boxes was from the DCWV Christmas stack called, The Winter Holiday. The other paper is from Mambi Sheets and there is no title of the stack.



I cut the mug from the Silhouette, then I took one of my Martha Stewart border punches to cut out "marshmallows" for the hot chocolate. 


This tag was cut using my Silhouette. 

I know there are a lot of pictures in this post. But I really wanted to show the different angles and the hot chocolate in the boxes. 

Chewing on Everything

Here is a layout of my puppy chewing on various things that he finds. 


Very simple layout. Some layering of paper. You can save some paper by layering pieces on either side on the photos and not using a whole big piece. 

Enjoy! 

3 4x6 photos layout

Hello everyone! 

Here is a fun and easy to fit pictures onto a layout. I used 3 4x6 photos. Added some patterned paper, title, minimal embellishments and I was good to go! 

Sometimes layouts really can be that easy. Sometimes I struggle more with them. Right now for example, I have a layout sitting on my desk that is half done and I am stuck on it! I will go back to it in a while to see what I can do to complete it more. 

Happy creating! 

Scrap-lifting Layout

Hello Crafty friends! 
Today's layout is inspired by Shimelle Laine. I took her Hitchhiker's Guide to Scrapbooking over at Two Peas.  I loved it! So many things to be inspired by. This is one layout in particular that I really loved and decided to replicate it in my own way. The general shape is the same, the title and embellishment shapes are different. 

I used paper from DCWV, Bazzil, and some other scraps that I had lying around in my stash. 

Hope you enjoy and can be inspired from something you see like I was. 

Here is the link for the workshop if you are interested in taking it!

Floppa Peach Layout

Hello everyone!


I made a new layout today. It's of my cat Peaches. He likes to flop a lot on his back and stick all his paws up in the air.


I got the Meow Cricut Lite cartridge yesterday. I love it! I think I will be using it a lot because I have a lot of cat pictures to document. I cut out the clothesline image with all the layers and put it together for the embellishment.


Then I used some paper from the max and whiskers 6x6 pad, deja views cat's life pad, bazzil cardstock and DCWV animal crackers matstack.


I used various sayings from the cat's life pad along with a couple little paper punches from the same stack.
The page didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped, but I still enjoy it.


Happy crafting and enjoy!

Album for Collection: Dolls: Title Page

Hi everyone!
I am currently making a friend (MIL) an album to showcase her collection of rather valuable dolls. These dolls are German made and very expensive! They are called Himstedts, if you are interested in knowing more about them.


I am making her an album and thought that I would share with you all too! I am sure that she doesn't read my blog so I am able to share this process with you. I am hoping that you can maybe give me some more ideas and some feedback on what I already have.


I must say that a lot of my page inspirations have come from creative cricut designs I also subscribe to her videos as well. If you have youtube and enjoy watching scrapbooking videos, Jennifer creates beautiful pages using her Cricut Expression and Imagine! I highly recommend her videos for inspiration.


With this album, as they are dolls and they get dressed up, I am using a lot of the images from Forever Young. I find that the little icons like the lipstick and shoes go great with what I am trying to create. I also have used DoodleCharms, A Child's Year and Create a Critter as well as the font from Plantin Schoolbook.  I am trying to utilize all my cartridges to really get my value out of them! I do wish that I had paper doll dress up, I think it would really come in handy right now.







For the title page I used a paper from DCWV once upon a time stack. It is the once upon a time paper too. I thought that it would add a little bit of a fairy tale quality to the album without being too much.


I cut the monogram from A Child's Year at 3 3/4 and the letters at 3 1/4.
From forever young, I cut the girl at 7 3/4, the lipstick at 1 3/4 and the nail polish at 1 1/2.


For added touches I went around the monogram with a purple marker and the letters with a white gel pen to set them apart from the model's legs.


Hope that this inspires you to create something that is a little different for an album!
