Banner Builder Set

I have had the Papertrey Inc. Banner Builder set for a while now... so, I finally pulled it out and put it to use this week. I LOVE IT!!! This is the smaller of the set, but perfect for a scrap page. There are 5 different toppers to go with it, too. I could have dolled up the banner a little more, but I think it would have been overkill on a page...alone, maybe. I am still pre-nice-camera in these pictures, so I am scramblin to get these done:) I was also happy to use some really old CTMH B&T paper. I have a ton of that stuff, so time to use it up.

Goal: Better Titles

I am so lazy when it comes to titles. I usually end up stating the obvious...like, "Christmas", or "Birthday Boy". So, I will try to get a lil' more original with my titles. This one is from a children's song that is sung when they are nearing the age of baptism. Aaaah, much better:)

Beach Babies- and Thparkly

Yup, more girly pages. I loved these pictures of my NC nieces. They really LOVE the beach! Look at the smiles on their faces! I used some paper that I had from a local scrappy store with some CTMH hollyhock and buttercup cardstock.

Then, of course, some left overs were perfect for some cards I need for upcoming "events." These included some more thparkly paper and some stickles.

This one is for another niece who is having a birthday today...just enough scraps left:) I copic-ed this girl a few weeks ago and have had her sitting on my desk just waiting for the perfect card to go on:)

Okay, Heidi----here's your bebe

I used the same Miracles paper pack to make 2 more pages...and two cards. It only came with 2 patterned pieces of paper and 2 cutouts (I added all the cardstock)...but I made 4 pages and 2 cards. This time I got to use some pics of my cutie patootie neice. I am so grateful to my sisters-in-law that provide me with girlie pictures:) I can hardly stand not getting to squeeze this little girl. I'm gunna do some beach pictures of her and her sister today...nummy. I am so grateful for mements like this. Pure bliss:)

Miracles

I loved this paper packet. I love the colors, but don't like to waste blue and green on flowers. When I want to make a girly flower page, it better be pink and purple and all things girly. Then, I came across these pictures my buddy took at a scrappy convention. The decor of this hotel was so amazing. I LOVED it! It matched perfectly, so out came this packet. I still added a bit of Vineyard Berry to jazz it up. Gypsy helped out on the word 'friendship' I love that thing! If you own a Cricut, the Gypsy is sooooo worth it.

Leftovers

I had some gumpaste leftover from a previous project. So, I decided to make some flowers to store away for future cakes. These dry hard and will stay FOREVER in a container on the shelf. So, I tried some carnations...LOVE THEM. super easy and I love the layers. I had to do some daisies to try out my new lil' center punch. For the leaves, I got to use a veiner:) fun fun. Guess I should get some laundry done...back to real life:)

Pink, Pink, and a lil' more Pink

I have a stash of girly stuff that I rarely get to play with. I finally put my foot down. I got together some of my favorites, ordered some pics of my neices, and went to work. Mom and I made these pages of our Gracie:) Thanks, Heidi, for dressing her in pink, just for these pages:) Then, with a few left overs and my new stamps from iCopic, Verve, and Stamps of Life, I made some cards that HAVE to go to some sweeties I know:) Aaah, I guess I am ready to handle blues and greens again.
