Alice In Wonderland Baby Book! ;)

Well, my Cricut Imagine arrived and I am sooooo loving it! ;) I redid the two cuts I showed in the previous post becasue I found a way to make the colors of the characters RGB correct...as Disney made them...also, so if I had two different cuts of the same character...they'd match! ;) I completed the book last Wednesday and am just now getting the pictures posted. I will show the front cover and first page of the book here...and then you will have to go to my Card Gallery Blog (there is a link at the top of this page) to see the rest of it. This way I don't have to double post! ;) Here is the first page:


I left a space to the left of Alice so when the mommy to be decides on a name, we can add it there.


Here is the first page in the book. I thought the White Rabbit with his time piece was the perfect image for the page that gave the date, time, etc. information for the baby! ;)

I make these books from SCRATCH!!! ;) I take chipboard, cover it with paper, add scrapbook paper, bind the book, cut out images with my Cricut Expression or Cricut Imagine, and add other embellishments as  I see fit! I take custom orders so hit me up!!! ;)  As you can see from my blog galleries, I also make jewelry and cards. I <3 what I do!!! ;)


Check out http://andersonscraftytreasurespapergallery.blogspot.com/ to see more pictures of this book soon...I'm still uploading the other pictures...so it may take a little while! ;)

I made this set with 2 different snowmen! Here is the second one! ;)

I think they are both adorable! ;) I used my Cricut Expression and my Gypsy to cut out the two different snowmen. I used the Jolly Holidays Cricut Cartridge.

My Pink Stamper's National Scrapbook Day Challenge # 9

Challenge # 9 was to use Glitz, Glam, and Glitter in the project.

I needed a Thank You card for our Dining Services Coordinator for cooking our Theme Dinner at work last week. She made us delicious fajitas and enchiladas from scratch for Cinco de Mayo! ;) I made this A2 sized card with my Cricut Expression and my Gypsy.


Recipe: 

I used 3 Birds on Parade for my cut outs which were cut at 3.5". My card base is plain card stock from Georgia Pacific. My background card stock is from Tiffany's pack of We R Memory Keepers. The light blue of the bird, and white of the hat is textured paper from ColorBok. The black of the grill and shadow of the bird are from the Non Textured Neutral Pack of ColorBok. The red, dark blue, and yellow were in my scrap pile. The ribbon is from Martha Stewart. I used green Adhesive Faux Pearls from Recollections to add a little something to the ribbon and a faux round bling for the bird's eye...I believe that was from Walmart. I used Crystal Stickles for the glare on the grill.





For the inside of the card, I cut out the phrase "You're Tweet" from 3 Birds on Parade at 2.75".
