Baby Girl Gift Bag

The project I am sharing with you today is a gift bag that is made using the Baby Boy set from SVG Attic!  Yes, it is for a girl, but I used the onesie from that set and cut it at 5.3" wide.  The gift bag itself is from the Basic Gift Bags collection and is the tall handled gift bag cut at 11.3" wide. The Scalloped oval is from the Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes set and it is cut at 4.5" wide.

To make the onesie girly even though it was from the boy set, I used a beautiful flower from purse 1 in the Pretty Purses set and cut it out at 6.5" wide. The purple ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. I added an ivory bow and it was done!

For this gift bag I participated in the Clearly iStamp challenge and took inspiration from designsbydragonfly's blog. She had this card that is purple and white, and this one that has a scalloped oval behind the main focal point.

First Day of School Layout

I am currently trying to finish my oldest son's Kindergarten scrapbook.  My goal was to have it finished before he started school again.  He starts school next week...we will see if I get that accomplished!  Anyway, I wanted to share this simple layout with you from his first day of school in 2012.

The background paper is from Recollections.  The blue patterned paper is by the Paper Studio.  I also added two curly paper clips for just a little something extra.

On a side note, if you are like me and love a good challenge blog, head on over to Connie's blog.  She has a back to school theme right now plus she has some wonderful blog candy to give away once she hits 400 followers. 

Have a wonderfully crafty day!

School Days Card

This is a card that is made from my favorite stack of school paper, DCWV's the Grade School Stack.  Each and every page in it is so adorable and perfect for school related projects.

I made it based off of the sketch on the DCWV blog.  I embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and I really like how it looks on the black patterned paper.  The finishing touches for me were the staples and the twine.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Bumblebee Bookmark

Today I am a guest designer for Little Scrap Pieces.  The theme for this weeks challenge is Tag...You're It!  For my project I used the bookmark and bee tag files from My Scrap Chick.

The patterned paper is from the Modern Bouquet stack by Recollections. The yellow ribbon on top is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces.

Isn't that little bee so sweet :)  We had some bees buzzing around our plants outside recently...just another sign of summer!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
