Cute Smile

I just love this photograph of my friend's daughter and have been wanting to create a layout with it for a while, but just has not happened. But the pagemaps sketch this time was perfect for this picture.

I am also entering this layout for the Lawnscaping Challenge Texture.

I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set called Blissful botanicals (I just love this stamp set) for this layout. I used the long vine image and stamped it repeatedly to create my center pattern paper. I also used the flowers to create some accents on the page and of course the sentiment Smile which was so appopriate.

I created texture on this page by using felt butterflies, the pearl embellishment and also the ribbon on the tag.

Here is the pagemaps sketch,

New Swing

I did this LO for the Page Maps Sketch Challenge. This is a photo of my friend's daughter who was so excited to get a new swing. This photo was just so precious that I had to create a LO with it. This photo reminded me of how we can be happy with simple things in life and to enjoy each day to its maximum.

I bought these Core-dinations Foundations smooth card stock recently and I am not really loving them, they are a bit too thin for my taste. I mean I love Core-dinations Card stock and that is what I use all the times, but I use the textured ones. This time, I thought I will give these a try, but did not like them and will not go back. Here is the sketch,

sassfras "nerdy bird" card contest on Pagemaps Blog

I was kind of intrigued by this card sketch from Page Maps Blog :) and of course the fun prize too. So, I created a card for this sketch using the PTI Bird Watching stamp set.

Here is my card,

I stamped the Bird House for my panel and then cut out the bird and put it with some pop dots. I really loved how this card turned out. The Patterned paper is from my Stash. Not sure if it is sassfras. :)
