Blog Hop Royal Ball

Welcome to GabyCreates

and to the

Royal Ball Blog Hop

celebrating the Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Birthday Ball

Hopefully you just arrived here from visiting Mel from ScrappyMel, but if you just happen to be visiting and wish to participate, please start HERE

Today I created these sceptres ~ (or scepter in U.S. English) is a symbolic ornamental rod or wand borne in the hand by a ruling monarch as an item of royal or imperial insignia.
I just thought that these sceptres would go so well with our tiara's lol (if you got to see us on Ustream, you know that Theresa "made" us all wear a tiara!)

I created a dozen for each of the attendees at the Ustream party hosted by The Queen herself!

I used Gypsy Wandering to cut at 3" with it's layers and shadow cut twice to adhere one to the back (I forgot to take pictures of the back!) I additionally used tulle, bling and dowels and my glue gun (I am just becoming used to the glue gun. I tried cleaning all that extra glue, but I can see on my picture a bit of it!).

Easter Dress -Cricut Mother's Bouquet and others

Welcome!!
Today is my first Whimsical Wednesday Challenge creation as a member of the Scrapbooking team.
There will be challenges every week with each challenge staying open for two weeks!
The scrap booking challenge will be the first Wednesday of the month, but make sure you go visit other Wednesdays for different challenges that include cards.


This week"s Challenge #1:
“ Make a Spring or Easter themed scrapbook LO adding a critter or a bug on it”

This is a layout of my niece (now in college!). I have always loved this picture of her!

A little on the bright side, but here (below) is a darker version:

I kind of like it darker a bit better (the sun was bright!)

I will let my sister do the journal entry (couldn't get a hold of her to ask her for exact dates)

I was inspired (scrap lifted) by Jana Eubank's LO she created of her daughters'-- even though she did not provide instructions, I figured it out and changed some things around.

Cricut cuts:
Mother's Day Bouquet~ Flower at 3.5" and 1.97" center using Gypsy ~Leaf at 2.53", 1.94" and 1.74"
George and Basic Shapes~ Circles at 12.10", and 2" ~Circles for journal at 4.27" and 3.49"
Cricut Everyday~ Outer scalloped circle at 11.38" and 3.33" for journal circle.
MS All Occasions~ Letters at .70"
Other:
MS punch for butterflies.
AC (dark green), DCWV (Embossed white), Core'Dinations card stock, vellum.
Sewing machine, thread, ribbon, walnut distress ink.
Fiskars circle stamp, memento ink in rich cocoa and brown embossing powder.

Make sure you go visit the Whimsical Wednesday Blog to link up your entry and check out the sneak peeks of all the other DT's projects! You are sure to find tons of inspiration, get all the details for the Challenge #1 ! You have two weeks to link up! Can’t wait to see all your projects! (post to go live at 10AM CST)
