A Mini Album with EAD!

Welcome Welcome to the EAD blog hop! This week I decided to combine all the EAD rub ons I had and use them in a cute mini album for our neighbors. The neighbors have a beautiful garden that we can see from our deck and boy do they work hard! They also share freshly cut bouquets with us all summer long so I wanted to make them something to say thank you (you can see the card I made to go with it in this post here).

I hope they like it! I left the journaling spots blank so they could add a little bit of their thoughts to the album as well.

Don't forget to go see the other DT Projects this week

Hop on over to Heart Hugs Designs to find out how to play along for a chance to win a short sleeve shirt of your choice! I used the little owl onesie for my inspiration this week.

Isn't this paper so fun? I think my friend is going to love it, it's her b-day card! The longest part of this card making process was waiting for the Modge Podge to dry, but otherwise it was quick and easy.

What I used:

Paper: K and Company Sweet Berry

Owl and Heart: K and Company Sweet Berry

S: Cosmo Cricket Buck Naked Buttons

Rub on: Autumn Leaves Pretty Poppies

Ink: CTMH Pink Carnation

Other: Embroidery Thread, Modge Podge and Zip Dry

A quick post

I don't know what happened to this week, well I do, but it sure zipped by. I just wanted to post a quick card I made for some friends in town that had a new baby girl. When I made the card I didn't know if it was a boy or a girl, so it's a little bit gender neutral, but I think it turned out cute. I made a bunch of inches with the CTMH "baby steps" stamp set and colored them with pastel sharpies. The "baby" stamp is from Unity. The ribbon is Cosmo Cricket and the orange tag is Making Memories.

I might be back tomorrow, otherwise see you Saturday for another EtsyInspired Challenge! :)

Etsy Inspired #

Some of you that follow my blog may have gotten a sneak peek at this layout on June 2nd, because I managed to hit publish instead of save! lol But here it is again with details this time.

This weeks Etsy shop is Naturally Felt. The owner makes the cutest eco-friendly lunch and snack bags. My family is trying to go "low" plastic and I think I'm going to have to order some of these reusable sandwich bags for myself! I drew my inspiration from the tree bag shown below. Don't forget to go HERE to find out how to play along and what the prize is this week!

With those cute trees I had to go FALL THEMED! Last year I took my daughters for a walk and collected some of the beautiful colored leaves on the ground. I took pictures along the way to capture the colors and the fun time we had.

The details are:

Background cardstock: Friendly Forest by Colorbok

All other DP: Sassafras Lass

Stamps: Unity's Giggle Grove and Owl from Mix up of Cuteness

Embroidery thread

Making Memories letter sticker

CHMT Brown Bag ink

3D foam

SMILE, it's FRIDAY!

I combined Unity Stamp Company's Hip Hop Challenges to make this card. The challenges were to use kraft and do some paper piecing. My "kraft" is actually a recycled cardboard insert but I love the way it turned out. Be sure to check out the Unity sales and other HHH post on the UNITY BLOG today!

This card is also a small preview of my next EAD Designs project as well, but you will have to come back on the 23rd to see that! Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget tomorrow is my next EtsyInspired Challenge project and it has some Unity on it! ;)

Supplies Used

Recycled Cardboard

EAD BLOG HOP!

I'm thrilled to be a part of the EAD Designs Blog Hop! The ladies on this DT have so much talent and I'm honored to be joining them this month. After you leave here be sure to show them all some love (links are posted below)!

I just started using EAD vinyl on my projects and I LOVE THEM. They are super easy to use, come in TONS of COLORS, and there are just SO many CUTE images to choose from. Here are links of my favorite Scrapbooking Rub-Ons HERE, HERE and HERE! I haven't tried any of the wall decor yet, because I want to make sure I have the perfect spot for it first. I'm thinking my girls need something fun in their room. Now on to my layout!

These photos were taking of my daughter Alice when she was 8 months old and she is STILL continuing to make us all laugh with her hysterical expressions!

"Growing" is the name of the Rub-Ons I used for my layout and they are just perfect for scrapbooking my girls. In the photos on the EAD website you won't see the lavender lines I used to "frame" the frame in my layout. When your EAD Rub-Ons come in the mail you will get all the images you see in the photo (probably bigger than you expected, I love that) and then they are all "framed" in a rectangle. I'm assuming this rectangle is part of the cutting process but I wasn't going to let it go to waste! Just like the cardboard frame I used. My husband volunteered to do the Costco shopping last month and I had oranges on my list. When I write my lists, I write it for me, so I "know what I'm talking about". Well I didn't revamp my list for him and he came back with a box of oranges when I really wanted cans of mandarin oranges. No biggie, we still ate them, but the "real" oranges came in a large cardboard box and when I saw the lid of the box I KNEW I would be using it as art! hehe The best part is I've only used half of the box so far and can make another layout or project with the other half.

Details:

Rub-Ons: "Growing" EAD DESIGNS

DP: "Sunday" and "Monday" Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday

Stamps: "Love Grows" Unity Stamp Co and "number 8"

Paint: Adirondack Purple Twilight and Lettuce paint dabbers

Ink: CTMH Watermelon and Top Boss
