Pumpkin Spice NSD Layout by Court

Hello and welcome to National Scrapbook Day with Shop Pumpkin Spice - challenge #2 - create a layout!

This is always an interesting challenge for me, but getting into more "layouts" I was excited to expand my wings a little. I cased a layout which you can see below and I saw it on someone else's blog so I am still waiting to hear back who the original designer is. Hopefully it will be up here by NSD, but it might not.

This was my first layout that I've made about our baby girl that is due in July! We've had three ultrasounds so these are pictures from each one. She has grown so much! I can only imagine how it will feel when she is on the "outside"!

Check out the challenges HERE and participate for a chance to win $20 to the SPS store!!! And with prices that are always 30% below retail - that $20 goes a LOooooooooonnnnnnnnNG way. trust me. You should just start shopping now. :) With three challenges that means there are three GC's to be won! Participate in one challenge or all three! The last one will be posted at 2pm PST. Check back! :)

Here is the layout that I cased:

My Mind's Eye March Challenge Thanks!

I am entering this card in the March Challenge for My Mind's Eye!

I took some liberties with the sketch so let me point them out to you below.

The flowers are the die cut, the three ribbons are the three banners that go across the page, the two brads are obvious, and the sentiment is there. So as you can see, all of the elements are there, I just moved them around a bit!

Of course I got all of my My Mind's Eye goodies at Shop Pumpkin Spice!!! :)

LOVE and a giveaway!!!

What?!? No stamps and no crinkled ribbon? I must be sick! haha. No, I was just having some fun challenging myself!

But I couldn't fit the whole "showering love on you" on the outside so that will go on the inside of the card.)

Easel/Gate Fold Card!

It's the My Pink Designer showcase today over at My Pink Stamper's blog! Head on over there to see what we created! The challenge was a "different fold" card. So I combined a gate card and an easel card to do both. I wanted it to look like windows so I used my Gypsy (I LOVE MY GYPSY) to put window into the card. Here is the picture tutorial on how I did it:

FYI if you don't have a Gypsy, you can use Cricut Craft Room! Check it out and it's FREE!!!

My card base was 8.5x8.5" before I cut it, so I did calculations on where I would need the window to go. Then I hid the outside of the window that I took from Kate's ABC's so that only the boxes cut out and not the whole window which would have defeated the purpose.

I taped the yellow polka dots to the white card stock base where I wanted them. Then I put the blade on 6, speed on high, and multi-cut on 2 to ensure that it got through both pieces of card stock.

This is the windows so that there are frames around the windows. I cut them out of white and embossed them with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes Emboss Folder.

This is what it looked like when I finished cutting it. I actually used the scraps of the 8.5x11" paper to create these. I love using my scraps!

I cut of the bottom 2 1/8" x 4/25" from each side.

Next I embossed the window frames with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes Emboss Folder. I cut velum to the appropriate size and used a liquid glue to put it behind the window frames, but in front of the yellow polka dotted paper. Here you can also see the three patterned papers I had picked out for my inspiration for the project. :)

I scored the lines appropriately (I can give you these measurements later if anyone wants them).

I took one of the window pane cut outs (which was a double layer of card stock and therefore pretty sturdy) and put it on the back being careful to only put adhesive on the top half.
