BOO! Banner

Thank you so much for waiting! Here is the BOO banner I have been working on. I am super happy with they way it turned out. This looks so cute in person!!

To create the banner portion of this project I used the TAG feature on page 46 from ONCE UPON A PRINCESS. The main banner was cut out at 4 1/2". When I went to cut the inner tag (the shift feature) it was way to small for what I wanted so I ended up cutting those out at 5". I then created the paper flower using two strips of 2" x 12" of pattern paper. These where accordion folded and attached together to make one long strip. I simply connected the two ends together and pushed them down to create the pleated flower. I found this idea on someones blog but I can't seem to find it. If anyone wants a tutorial on this I will see if I can make a video of one.

Next I cut out the word BOO in black at 4" using the STORYBOOK cartridge. Also the shadow at 4" using a olive green cardsock. To make my letters sparkle I covered the black letters in Martha Stewart's Black Onyx fine glitter. LOVE this stuff!! Finally I attached it all together added a couple of bows from some fun ribbon from Michales and it was done!!

Happy Haunting,

Birthday Girl Layout

So I had a request from a blogger viewer that I post some layouts like the ones I sell on Etsy with photos. Here is a layout that I finished today. This one is pretty close to the Etsy layouts just without the ribbon. I really did want to use ribbon but my photos were not working for me. This is of my middle daughter at the age of 6. She is now 9 and my camera skills are a little better then they were then. I had lots of closeups that the ribbon would have covered up something important. I will try another layout with the ribbon so she can get a better idea.

I truly love this layout and I am sad to see this paper from Close To My Heart disappearing soon. I have almost ran out of it so I better order more before it's gone for good!

Happy Scrappin'
