This little Valentine Candy Card was made in SCAL, you can get the file HERE. The paper is scored at 3 1/2", 7 1/4", and 7 3/4". The bottom is brought up and stapled on each edge to form a pouch. This is perfect for individual "fun sized" candies!

This is a card that was designed for an associate of mine...which is leaving this coming Friday. The paper is DCWV and font is CK Alli. Button is Autumn Leaves, and jewels are Zva. The jar is for his new office. Between the layers are little notes of how much he will miss this job and of course reminders/funny stories of this great team he is leaving! And the bouncy balls (gotta love Old Navy) is an inside joke! Sorry folks, you'd have to work for me to understand! :p
The fun starts Friday, January 22! You don't want to miss out on all the fun so spread the word... Be sure to check back as more details are coming later this week!
This layout is a little busy, but I wanted to try to capture the time she spent practicing to achieve a cartwheel, she worked so hard! These photos were taken back before I had my digital SLR, so getting the sequence photos along the top was a real challenge!
Yes, I have one of those kids! You know, one of those that everytime you pick up the camera they make a silly face or give you the wrong side! Well, now it is documented...okay I have several layouts to document his crazy camera behavior...all promised to be displayed when he reaches the proper dating age! He loves the song "Hey Ya!" by Outkast and since he was singing it while shakin' it for my camera...he is stuck with it for years to come!
This week at Frosted Designs the challenge is to use eyelets. We were asked to come up with some new ways to bring the eyelets back to our projects. I used my eyelets upside down so that they would add dimension and also serve as posts to wrap my embroidery floss around. The paper is by SEI. I machine stitched around two of the inner circles and clear embossed the black strip and circles so they are glossy looking. The main circle has a skull embossed on it from a Cuttlebug folder.
I hope you come join us so we can see all the ways eveyone else is using their eyelets! Click here to stop by!
It isn't often that I post layouts but I thought I might as well mix it up a little from time to time! Photo and journaling are from 2007.
I used more of My Mind's Eye Lovenest paper, Basic Grey ribbon, and Recollection jewels. I also traced everything in glitter pens (hard to see in the photos).
You can grab you Sundae SCAL cut file here
This little Primitive Sheep was created in Cricut Design Studio using George. There are two tabs on the cut file, Sheep and Sheep Parts! I have instructions for how I pieced mine together below. If you want the Cricut Design Studio cut file, you can grab it HERE. The SCAL version file is HERE When you cut both of the tabs, you will end up with these pieces.
I took the top piece of the sheep and embossed it with my swirl folder
I used Fun Flock to add some "fluff" to the embossed piece and then glued all the black shapes to the main base, with the exception of the small oval (ear).
Glue the main sheep body to the base and glue in the small oval ear!
If you wanted to simplify the process, you could cut the base in black and then just cut the sheep body (removing the other pieces from the cut file but make sure to keep the ear from the base!). I like the layered look so I kept mine in pieces.
The scallop borders on this card were designed by me in SCAL. The file has two tabs, one with the heart scallop and one with the matching background scallop. You can get the file HERE.
The paper is My Mind's Eye (lovenest), jewels are Crystal Stickers (Mosaic), Ribbon is Robert Stanley, Fonts are Corinthia and OzHandiCraft BT, Metal heart embellishments are Wilton Favor Accents!
This is my first stab at a purse in SCAL (non-accordion of course!) as well as my first attempt at the "alligator" look! I am very thrilled at the look and amazed at just how easy it is to achieve! Okay, first the SCAL file. You can get the purse cut HERE and the score mark photo HERE.
Now, to achieve the "alligator" look, all you need is a clear ink (I use VersaMark), clear embossing powder, and a heat gun. I also use a bone folder to make the lines but you could use anything with a soft but defined edge. Before you assemble the purse, rub the clear ink on the areas you want to have the alligator look. Spinkle your clear embossing powder on over the ink and shake off the excess powder. Take your bone folder (or whatever you use) and draw lines through the powder. It will build up some flakes - but the heat gun will blow them off, so don't worry! The final step is the heat gun...use the heat gun to set the powder, this will also give it the shiny look. Pretty cool stuff isn't it!
