Abby's Baptism Envelope Book...


I made this fun envelope book for my sweet niece Abby who just recently turned 8 and was baptism. This little book was created using envelopes so there would be pockets full of advice and congratulations for her big day! Ribbon always makes me happy so I added loads of it on the tags, the binding and throughout the whole thing! -TFL

What I used:
Pazzles Inspiration for all the words
Zutter Bind It All for the binding
Star Dust Stickles
Autumn Leaves flourish clear stamps
Making Memories flowers
Buttons, ribbon, staples and sewing
All My Memories patterned paper pad


I used the fonts BlackJack & Greer...
The tags ended up having white cardstock on top
of the colored cardstock with the written advice...
Tags poppin' out of the envelope pockets...
And you can NEVER have too much ribbon!! ;)

Some Bunny Loves U

I know I've been got for awhile, I had to get a whole lot of things done around the house and with my family. I started this layout over a month ago but just barely finished it today. :) YEAH! It was actually supposed to be for Valentines day but I think the colors also go for Easter or even some cute "love" pictures.

What I used:
-Pazzles Inspiration to cut all my bunnies
(You can purchase my Bunny cut files at
The Paper Piecing Beehive
).
-Pazzles also to cut the 2 titles and cute flowers, which I also designed.
-Cuttlebug Embossing folders - Swiss Dots and Divine Swirls
-Diamond Glaze
-Fruit Punch Stickles
-Bazzill cardstock (I forgot what the patterned paper was)
-Autumn Leaves Flourish stamps
-Ink and sewing


NotHisAngel font for the "Some Bunny"
A journaling tag...
This is the hidden tag... it is double sided
so a picture can go on the back side.
Here you can see how I used the Diamond Glaze,
Stickles, and pop dots better...

use, but please don't recreate to sell...thanks a bunch!)

Made With Love

I made this page a while back, but realized that I never posted it. It isn't my absolute favorite, mainly because I couldn't figure out what else it needed, so I set it aside thinking I would come back to it later. Now, I realize that it is okay to do some things simple. I did have a lot of fun designing and welding the title together... it actually took way too much time, but I really like how it turned out! With the journaling circle, I used my Pazzles Pen tool and a sepia gel pen... this little accessory for my Pazz is fantastic. Although I didn't do anything too exciting with it, you CAN really get creative with it!!

What I used:
-Pazzles for the title and the 2 wavy scalloped circles.
-Pazzles Pen Tool for the writing in the journaling circle.
(The Pen Tool is on sale over at HallmarkScrapbook.com right now!)
-American Craft ribbon.
-I think the paper was Cosmo Cricket (please correct me if I'm wrong).
-Bazzill cardstock.

another Twilight....

I made another Twilight layout!! It is similar to my other ones just a bit different in colors and I got rid of the oval frame and added a cool title tag and also a Cullen Crest! I also did some fun overlaping with 2 colors of flourishes! Lots of fun Stickles and Diamond Glaze through out of course! ;) And I tried a different stitch this time to change things up a bit... the stitch is a bugger to work with though... I only broke one needle this time!! hehe But I think it turned out beautiful! TFL - Kate

What I used...
- Pazzles to cut out the Cullen Crest and Edward & Bella
paper piecing, oh and the title tag too!!
- I also used Twirls and Swirls Pazzles CD for the flourishes.
- Diamond Glaze and Stickles.
Check out HallmarkScrapbook.com for all these fun products!!


I had so much fun with this Twilight title tag. I made it so it could flip open to reveal more room for pictures or journaling.... I think I will be doing this in the future a lot more!!

Diamond Glaze on the black of the Cullen Crest...
It looks really neat in person!

Here is another hidden tag with 2 more spots
for photos or journaling.
But I wanted to show a closer picture of the stitching...**As far as the paper piecing of Edward &Bella is 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!!

Cupid Bunny...


I made this "Cupid Bunny" to go along with my layout that I made for eBay but I decided to sell just one of these 'love' bunny's just in case someone wanted to create their own pages and use it for an embellishment!

He is so darn cute, how could you not fall in love!?!

I left all the accessories disassembled just in case
you want to assemble him differently...
(You're welcome to copy my designs for you own personal

Love You Always...

I made this layout because I'm ready for spring and Valentines is coming up fast and it is closer to spring then it is right now! :) I love the deep yummy colors of this paper which is I believe My Mind's Eye... I LOVE that brand! I had a fun time designing the Cupid accessories... the bunny is ready to go shoot some arrows of love!!

What I used:
(You can find these items at HallmarkScrapbook.com)
-Pazzles for the bunny, his accessories and the "Love You" marquee title.
-Cricut card Hello Kitty Font for the "ALWAYS" title.
-Cat Eye Ink to distress the edges of the photo mats.
-Diamond Glaze
-Stickles - Eucalyptus, Xmas Red, and Star Dust

Of course I use plenty of diamond glaze and Stickles...
You can never have enough, right!?! hehe ;)

My new blog background...

I know it's late, or should I say early! Man, it sure has been a bugger getting this background to load and work just right and it still doesn't show my whole background but for the most part it does. Julio (my hubby) designed and created this AMAZING background for me and we finally put the finishing touches on it and decided to premier it today!! YEAH!! :)

Later today I will have up an option to buy at least one of my Pazzles/PDF/DFX files starting with my Snow Couple!! I'm so excited to get going and so is Julio!! He is ready to start designing some new cut files for me and I'm excited to scrapbook using them!! :) hehe

Let me know what you think! Please tell me if I need to do any tweaking anywhere. Thanks for looking and I hope you like! :) Now I'm going to bed, I need to get my creativity sleep! ;) lol

Scarlett O'hara

I am SO EXCITED to show everyone what Julio and I have been working on since just before Christmas.... a custom paper piecing of Scarlett O'hara! The sweetest woman, Miss SouthernBelle, contacted me to see if we could make her a paper piecing from Gone With the Wind. She picked out the picture and we, or should I say Julio, got to work! We thought we would have it done within days because we have done these types of paper piecing before with the Twilight ones. But that was far from the case! :) Luckily Miss SouthernBelle was the sweetest person to work with, she was so patient with us. Scarlett's face was the hard part. With being 9 inches tall, you'd think that she would be easy but her dress is so darn big, which made her face 1 inch tall! Not much room for detail. So we decided to go a bit larger and cut Scarlett out at 11 inches which made all the difference. Julio also had to tweak a few things on the face so that they would cut better! And that's it! My Pazzles sure went through a nice work out which I LOVE to see!! lol :)

I can't wait to see what our Miss SouthernBelle does with this paper piecing! I will keep you posted when she does something with it! She is an AMAZING talented scrapper, you should all check out her work... A Scraphappy Southernbelle.

Thanks Aymee for working with us so nicely...
it was such a pleasure and we look forward to the next one!






I used Diamond Glaze on the letter for a shiny look...

All ready to scrapbook... :)

Coming SOON...

I'm excited to announce that I'm finally updating the look of my Blog!

I've waited a very long time for my talented hubby, Julio to design and create me a NEW layout to coordinate with my name AND style!

As soon as I complete a couple custom orders and we finish putting the finishing touches on the layout, I will premier it, which should be VERY soon! :)

The even more EXCITING news is that I'm going to start selling a few of our digital cutting files similar to one of my Ladybug friends, Regina at the Cutting Cafe'! It might take me a bit longer to get all the kinks out of this hopefully plan, but I'm really looking forward to this new adventure!

Thanks for all your encouragement and support!!

a Snow Couple...


**You can purchase the cut file for this cute Snow Couple
by visiting my new blog called
The Paper Piecing Beehive!I LOVED my last layout so much, well the snow couple,
that I had to make a paper piecing set of the happy couple!

I used my Pazzles for the original snow couple and then used MANY different Cuttlebug embossing folders to enhance their clothing and features. I also used Diamond Glaze! :)

SOLD

Here you can see all the fun dimension...
In the set I've included embossing
snowflakes (6) and snowballs (10).
