Yarn Flower card :)

Have you been drooling over all of the new CHA releases? One of my favorites is Jillibean Soup. They have so many cute embellishments! One of which are these "bean blossoms".

I thought I would give it ago and try to make some myself :) I really like the result!

The challenge at Fantabulous Cricut was to use a "neglected" cartridge. Well dusted off Plantin Schoolbook to cut my circle bases for this flower. This one is cut at 2 1/2" which was the perfect size.

I used scraps of Basic Grey's "Green at Heart" (one of my all time favorites from Basic Grey) and added a white border with my Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch. The "If friends were flowers, I'd pick you" sentiment was printed on my computer.

Thanks for looking! Let me know if you try it :)

Shopping with my BFF :)

Tomorrow is the last day of school! My first graders made little memory things and I was cracking up at them saying "you'll be my BFF forever" :)

So I decided to do a 2 page layout using this sketch from Let's Scrap of me and my BFF from college.

My friend April always has these awesome flowers on her layouts and I decided to channel my inner April tonight. I cut these in various sizes from the Create a Critter cartridge - it's the accessory for the lil hedgehog.

I inked them in brown, rolled the pedals toward the middle, and topped with a pink floss knot on a brown button. The papers are the luscious Basic Grey Indian Summer 6x6 pad.

I hand cut the shadow in beige to make them pop from the layout.

Here's the first page... She treated me to a day of shopping at King of Prussia Mall, near where she lives - a month before I got married. We had our make-up professional done, I bought this dress for the rehearsal dinner, and other goodies too.

It was a fun day, with lots of wedding preparation crossed off the list. The title font was downloaded from this site and cut with my Sure Cuts A Lot / cricut.

Here they are together..

Thanks for looking~!

I heart felt.

I heart felt embellishments! I decided to make a few of my own for a scrapbook page and a swap I am in. Here are the results.

Aren't they delicious!

Use them to clip papers, as bookmarks or as an embellishment.
