Harvest Banner

Most people don't think of purple as a harvest color, but it adds an unexpected pop of color to the otherwise neutral colors of Cocoa, Bamboo and Colonial White.  This harvest banner was created using the following ingredients:  My Creations Mini Banner, Sonoma paper, Sonoma My Stickease (only $1 right now!), Cocoa ink, Smokey Plum ink, Pearl Paint, Bamboo Re-Inker, Cocoa cardstock, twine, buttons and ribbon.  I also used the Cricut Artiste cartridge, a sanding block, spray bottle, and sponge daubers.  The cost of this super-cute banner - less than $10!  I used scrap paper and the tools, embellishments and inks from my stash.  While this project goes together quickly, it was a 2-day process.  On day 1 I sprayed the banner pieces with a combination of Pearl Paint and Bamboo Re-Inker.  I also cut the leaves and letters, then sanded and inked all pieces.   Day 2 consisted mainly of assembling the banner.

Flowers and Ladybugs Blog Hop Day 2

Hello and welcome to the Flowers and Ladybugs Blog Hop! If you are here from leslie-rahye at http://leslierahye.blogspot.com, then you are in the right place. If not, please go back to the beginning at http://beyondscrapin.blogspot.com so you can see all of the great projects!

This weekend I am sharing two layouts from a baby book created using the Lucy papers, stamps and embellishments from Close To My Heart. The flowers are cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and the lettering is from the Artiste Cricut cartridge, both available only from Close To My Heart.

This layout has two pull-out journaling cards, one for mom and one for dad to record their thoughts for baby.  There is also a place for a photo of the proud parents.

Thanks for stopping by!  I've enjoyed sharing these layouts with you.  Later in the week I will post the rest of the photos.  Your next stop is www.craftycardgallery.blogpsot.com.
