But this little set was for my munchkin, who's now 6 !!! She wanted a "pretty birthday frame" I had an alterable frame in the drawer, so I picked a few papers and dimensional stickers, and I made a matching card, envelope and gift bag… Can't wait to put her birthday pic in the frame… She just loved it!
This past weekend was my Mom's birthday… Happy Birthday!!! Here's the little card and coordinating envelope that I made for her…
Check out the newest QuicKutz Silhouette release this week!! It is full of fantastic frames and shapes to make your scrapping easier!! I just love the collage frames, they're so versatile, you can use them for layouts, or cards, or projects… Here's a few of my projects with this release…
This layout features a collage frame, and made scrapping these pics from a recent day trip into Boston so quick and easy!! The State House, Constitution, and view from the top of the Bunker Hill Monument. The patterned papers are Collage Press.
I used this frame to create the layout, tuck the photos behind, and you're done in a jiffy!

If you follow my blog, you know that I love to use things in different ways, and I love to be able to create a couple projects from one cut… Here's 2 cards that I made using the same shape… I cut the photomat_2057 and used the actual mat for the first card, then used the cut out squares for the second card! One cut, 2 cards… So much fun!! The Love card uses My Minds Eye patterned papers, and the Faith card uses Paper Loft papers.
Another fabulous addition to the release were phrase circles… Anything in a cricle is just a wonderful addition to any card or layout!! Here's a card using the phrase_circle_2101and Chatterbox papers
and a layout using photomat_2073
and phrase_circle_2108
I have a couple more projects to share soon, don't forget to check out the QuicKutz Silhouette Idea Gallery for more fun ideas from this release!!
I took a little road trip today to Absolutely Everything, a fabulous store in Topsfield, MA today… They honestly have Absolutely Everything that you could want for paper crafts!! Very friendly people greeted us when we entered, and if the kids weren't with me I could have been there for hours looking at all the pretty things :) I got a couple new markers, some Collage Press papers I hadn't seen before, the kids picked some Star Wars papers, and I also got my new little friend here, she's Petunia Petals by www.poppystamps.com and I think she's just the cutest!! I had to come home and make up a card with her :) Even with my very basic Copics, she's pretty darn cute :)
I've been on a crafting-roll!! Here's 3 projects I've just completed, but I can only show you 2 :) The third one (the layout) also features a new QuicKutz shape… I'll post it as soon as the shape is released… They all feature papers by Bo Bunny… You know me… I have a "thing" for pretty patterned papers, and Bo Bunny is among my favorites! They have sneak peeks of the new lines on their blog right now, and they are fabulous!! The Halloween Line has Googly Eyes!! What could be better than that :)
Love this little house, it's a Maya Road chipboard house, covered in the Bo Bunny papers
Then there's this card… I hand cut various sized "flower" shapes, crinkled and inked them, then made them into the flower… I also cut the word strips from another paper…
a close-up of the flower…
and then, the inside of the card…
