Two-Page LO using Imaginisce Garden Party

Today I am posting a Two-Page LO I created using

the Imaginisce Garden Party Collection

that you can find at Happy N Scrappin'. 

This is my current favorite Two-Page LO

I know I got Camera Happy-- but it looks so much better in person!
The Imaginisce paper is so pretty and it has this shine to it or sheen?  I like it so much that I
have a hard time cutting it!

Supplies I used from the Store

Blambleberry Blossoms	Wild Flowers
Blossoms of Blue	Rows of Posies
MM Ribbon by the Yard	Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet
MM Crystal Brads	Imaginisce i-rock

Other supplies:

Two-Page Layout Cricut Circle Blog and ScrapTiffany

ScrapTiffany Yellow/Steel Grey 

and

Cricut Circle Blog Back to the Basics Challenges

This is the LO I came up with--  I used several new to me techniques.

Yellow it is not my color, but had fun with this PP from Cosmo Cricket Early Bird

The solid darker grey cardstock is from the PaperCo and the lighter grey is AC

I printed the pictures with a yellow tone-- the pictures on the left page were printed as a one picture on a 8 1/2 x 11" piece of photo paper. I hand cut around to leave a white frame.

Some of you are thinking that my letters/words do not show much, that perhaps I should have used the grey tone on top-- this is precisely the technique I wanted to use so I am OK with it... I cut the letters twice, once in grey and the other in the PP and layered myself.  Were I just could not help myself was on the camera and the smile design. I added a bit of an outline to both and vellum to the camera in addition to a bit of yellow Smooch paint.

The film strip is from a Sizzix die. I cut by hand to split and use on both sides of my picture sheet.

I used Cricut Don Juan for letters, camera and smile designs. Gypsy Font for word "many". And Accent Essentials for circles and scalloped edge.

I used a typing font and printed the journaling on my printer using MS Word.

Finished it with some buttons, Tim Holtz mini screw brads and stitching. And for the first time I used the MM notch maker to "hold" the picture on the side and added another of Tim Holtz mini screw brads.

Butterfly and Cage using Serenade for Creative Cutter Room Challenge

Good morning and welcome to the first

Challenge as a DT member for

Creative Cutter Room

Love Bug
is the Challenge,

and the prize?

I used Cricut Serenade cartridge to create my project-

I cut four cages at 5.5" and a 3.5" square which I scored at .25" on each side and adhered to the inside to create my cage.  I than tied the metal butterfly and with same string tied the four top ends of cage and added a ribbon.

The butterfly (I made sure that the butterfly was a bug, and it is!)  was cut at 2.25" with its layers. I adhered coarse glitter to layer and fine glitter to base using my Xyron.-- I initially wanted all white, but after deciding to add the silver metal butterfly I changed my mind.

The metal butterfly has a sentiment= butterfly kisses.
Now go visit the other DT member's projects Carri, Jenny and Melin
