Album for Collection: Dolls: Shoes

Hello again!


I created this page with shoes in mind. The woman I am making this for loves to buy shoes for her dolls. I thought that creating a page all about those shoes was a good idea.



I used a piece of plain purple card stock for the base and glued a patterned paper on top of some kraft paper for the focal point. I rounded the corners of the pink paper with my Martha Stewart corner rounder punch (I love).  Then I cut some photo blocks out of another patterned paper from that all about girls stack. The big one is 4.5x6.5  and the smaller ones are 4x4.


I cut the shoes out from the Forever Young cartridge at 2 inches and the title at 2 1/4 inches along with the shadow feature.

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!

Sunglasses Card!

Hi everyone! 
I made this really quick card using the Forever Young cartridge for the Cricut and my new Martha Stewart corner rounder punch! I love both of my new tools, they are both awesome. I am so glad that I bought them recently! 

This card was really easy. I cut out the sunglasses at 1 1/2 inches and attached them on top of the patterned piece of paper with some pop dots. I love adding dimension on my cards and scrapbook pages! 

The card is an 8 1/2 cardstock cut at 5 1/2 (in half) and then scored/folded in half. I like working with this size because there is only one cut to make!
I really didn't measure the layer pieces, I just cut them down until they looked the way I want. Usually I do measure them though. 

Then I added a stamp that says Hello Friend. Some pink ribbon and a little knot on top and I was ready to go. 

I did add some glitter to the sunglasses on the lens part because it looked too flat to me. It just gives it a little extra shine I think!



Now you are all set to make your own card! The best part is you can do this with any die cut or shape that you want to put on the front! I just really wanted to use the sunglasses because it is summer here! 

Happy Crafting everyone!
