Mouse Candy Sleeve...

Here is a cute little candy sleeve that fits 3 chocolate covered marshmallow candies. The mouse was designed by me by altering my bunny design. I love how she turned out. I had fun with the eyes.


I used the Pazzles software to draw up the Holly because I couldn't find exactly the right Holly that I wanted on my Cricut carts. I also used my Pazz to cut the Mouse, Sleeve and Tag...(Your welcome to copy my designs for you own personal use,

2nd Halloween 2008 Layout....


I had so much fun making the first layout of my kids that I had to go back and finish what I started! I had a few more pictures that I wanted to scrapbook too. All the paper is the same as the last I just changed it up a bit! The empty photo mat is for another picture I've been meaning to print but just haven't gotten a chance to print.

What I used:
-The title was cut with my Pazzles which I got over at HallmarkScrapbook.com
-The tree and swirls are from the Pazzles CD Swirls & Twirls.
-The Bats and Spider are from a Cuttlebug Diecut and Embossing fold kit.
-The pumpkins are Ovals put together from my Cricut George.
(If you would like to see how to make the pumpkins, go over to the Hallmark Ladybugs Blog for the tutorial I made!)
-Swiss Dots Embossing folder from Cuttlebug
-Black Diamond Stickles

ThanksGiving

With Thanksgiving not too far away, I had to make this layout. I designed these turkey's last year around this time and they turned out so darn cute, I had to do them again this year! I did add a little this time by embossing the feathers which made them look even cuter, in my opinion!

This is what I used:
-Pazzles for the turkeys, the title, and the flourishes (Pazzles CD Swirls & Twirls)
-Cricut for the pumpkins... George ovals
(If you would like to learn how to make the pumpkins just visit Hallmark Ladybugs Blog)
-Cuttlebug Embossing folders... Swiss Dots and Divine Swirl
-Diamond Glaze

Halloween 2008


I haven't made a layout for my kids in a really long time, but it was my turn to do a tutorial over at the Hallmark Ladybugs Blog this week and decided it was time. I had MORE fun designing and creating this layout then any other in a long time, but probably because my kids are in it!! :) I love scrapbooking!

I have created a little tutorial for you!

Twilight with ME!

Okay, so I finally decided to make a layout with me on it, but unfortunately it isn't for myself. I am donating it to a website that will be giving a scrapbook to the writer of the Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer. The scrapbook will be filled with fans letters, artwork, and scrapbook pages. The pages have details about my favorite things about the book series. It also has a couple of my favorite quotes that correspond with the characters.

What I used...
I used my Pazzles (Pazz for short) Inspiration for all the paper piecing including the title.
The flourishes are from the Pazz CD called Swirls and Twirls.
Oh the little blue flowers are from Cricut's Accent Essentials.
I also used Diamond Glaze on all the flourishes, of course!!


I hope you can finally enjoy a layout from me
that actually has a picture on it! :) LOL

This is the actually font from the cover of the books...

Here is a picture of me with my favorite hobbies...
Scrapbooking and Twilight...

Edward and Bella...
These fonts are the characters actually fonts from the books...

Jacob...Jacobs actually font from the books...
**As far as the paper piecing of Edward, Bella, Jacob & the wolf are concerned, my husband and I have put a lot of time into designing and creating this one-of-a kind paper piecing, so please, please, PLEASE, don't replicate it for resale. We consider it a piece of art and should be treated as such.

Thank you so much for all the
support, encouragement, and understanding!!

Twilight... Jacob


This layout was designed around a picture of the actor, Taylor Lautner, who is playing Jacob in the upcoming movie, Twilight. Julio made him have a bit longer hair because in the original picture, he didn't have long hair but in the books he is supposed to have long hair.

I absolutly love how this layout turned out. I think the colors go great with Jacob's background. I think of Jacob in the color realm of Browns, Rust, and Teal... colors found in nature. Edward, I think, has more cooler color hues.... like Black, Blues, Greys. He also where's White and tans in the book. And of course, Red and Black like the book covers.

I use my Pazzles Inspiration to cut out most of my paper piecing including Jacob and the wolf and also the title. I got my Pazz at my favorite online store... Hallmarkscrapbook! The flourishes were also cut from my Pazz using a CD called Swirls & Twirls. Check out this AMAZING machine!!

If this is your first time to my blog and you would like to know the story behind these paper piecing, you are welcome to go to the first Twilight layout of Edward and Bella at the Prom.


This paper piecing of Jacob took 9 different colors of paper and around 12 different cuts!!
The font I used for this layout was the same font as Jacob's handwriting in the book. Kind of a fun fact!
It was hard to decide what quote to use because I didn't know if I should go more toward the romantic side or not. Since the layout was all about Jacob and no Bella, I went with this quote of Jacob as a wolf...
Here is Jacob as a wolf. We wanted to go for a wolf in the shadow kind of look...
