Easter

Here's the "girly" layout for Easter. See previous post for the more boyish or neutral pages. I also added another photo to the left side and moved the yellow strip to the left side, so technically this is a different layout. It was too hard to leave out a photo, so I used all four of the 5x7 pictures. Jeez...my kids cost me too much money when we take professional pictures because they're so great during the sessions, that I can't pass up all the cute pictures! :) My Scrapbooking Club will choose pink or blue for their background paper. One member won't be there...she just had her baby boy today...so exciting!

April Scrap Club Pages

Here's the layout for this month's Scrapbooking Club. I started to ink the edges of the oval around the bunny, then thought, "Hey, this would be good for grass!" So, I only inked the bottom, and I added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter onto the eggs. The ovals are circles were made with the Colluzle. I used the Enjoy Every Moment & An Egg-cellent Easter stamp sets. Colors are: Certainly Celery, Pretty i Pink, Close to Cocoa, Bashful Blue, Whisper White and Barely Banana. And yes, I used my new Scallop Oval Punch...again! :) Click on photos to see enlarged. I will also let my ladies choose Pretty in Pink or Bashful Blue for their 12x12 backgroud. Hope you all had a great Easter.

Purse Tote & Cards

Here's the other card that will go into the Top Note Purse Tote, also using the Puns from the Past stamp set. Hope the ladies like this month's club projects!

Baby Buggy Card

Here is one of the 3x3 cards to go into the Top Note Purse Tote. (See yesterday's post)

The Very Vanilla cardstock was embossed with the Big Shot & Texturz Plates. One of my club gals asked if I would use the Puns from the Past stamp set to give her ideas, so here's one idea. I wanted to show her that you can separate the image and the greeting.

Top Note Purse Tote

These Top Note Purse Totes are too cute! I finally sat down to make one today, using the samples that Patty posted on her blog here. I made this before she sent me the tutorial, so it's a bit different...Thank you, Patty! :) Velcro was used to keep the purse closed securely. I used the Texturz Plates for the top flap and a cute Vanilla brad. It seemed too sad to not use my new Oval All stamp set and Scallop Oval Punch from the new Occasions Mini Catalog..so I used them! The Designer Paper is Candy Lane. You can see a similar sample, without the fold over top here. My Club ladies will make this and 2 matching cards to go inside...I'll post those soon.
