Valentine's Day Cont'd

Here are a few other decorations I made for the Valentine Party.
PinWheels out of scrapbook paper and straws and 1 brad. I also made a Heart Garland out of scrapbook paper cut 1"x6" and using just 2 staples made hearts and strung them together.

Here you can see in detail how I stapled the hearts and just strung them thru before adding the 2nd staple.

I hope I have enough decorations to make the party at the park seem festive. I'm sure the kids will have fun handing out their Valentine's either way with their valentine mailboxes I found at the Dollar Tree. I also picked up some "mini Mailboxes" at target that I will decorate for the party. Happy Valentine's Day! I will try to take a few pics of the party next Monday and share them.

My First Photo Shoot with Baby Annabelle

I have the chance to take some infant photo's of my friend's baby that was born just over a week ago!! I am all for practicing with my new 50MM lens and new camera!
I got some props to use with the baby and here I just took a few photos to get aquainted with my camera and te settings.
I was so happy to find this Picnic Basket complete with the red gingham lining! I found the sunflower vine and thought it would look great with this basket! These Butterflys might look great in an infant setting so I got three of them. They have a little clip on them too.

I found these HeadBands at a great price so I picked up three; Red, white, and pink. I got some letters and made a bracelet but since her name is so long I decided to add it to the headband for the photo.

These Booties were also a great deal and soo small! I got white and pink and hope they fit!!





I got a few big flowers and added them to the headbands with some velcro so I can change the flowers out easily between shots.

I hope I get a few great shots for my friend. I am excited and hope I have enough time to get all the shots I want to get in within the hour and a half that I will have next week while Cole is in school.

Valentine Tshirt for my son

Valentine's Day is on its way. Not only did I choose to make the decorations for the Moms group I am in but I thought I would get creative for Cole and his class this year. Here are two photos of the T-shirt Cole will be wearing on "Love Day".

Sorry the photos are sideways but you get the idea! I just used white and red puffy paint. It took no time at all to finish this and I think he will look so cute with his faux hawk wearing this shirt! I will share the other Heart Day projects I have been working on soon. They are: Heart Garland, PinWheels, and for the kids in his class I will be making homemade Playdough and bagging it up in cute little goody boxes. I also plan on making his teachers alittle something too!

Crayon Box Elementary Memories!

Each pull out with the numbers on top is for each year they will be in elementary school. They are the perfect size to add wallet sized photos in! I have even included Kindergarten in here you just can't see it. I used DCWV paper as well as Me and My Big Ideas paper.

Family Tree Canvas

This is a Family Tree I made for my MIL for her Biirthday. She has been obsessed with ancestry.com lately and I thought this would be a nice gift for her to add all the information she has learned about her family. The blue sky and green grass was painted on the 15x30" canvas and the tree I cut out from cardstock and the leaves were cut on the cricut. The L was also cut on the cricut. I added her son and I and her grandson at the bottom by the flower at the bottom. This was a really fun project and I am thinking of making one for Cole for our wall!

Gabrielle meet paper bag mini cont'd

Here I cut the leaves out on the bigshot and embossed them with tim holtzs distressed embossing powder. The flowers are my great find at SAS fabrics for .39 for 10! I stamped the top butterfly and colored it in with glimmer mist. The bottom butterfly is from the collection. I handmade the banner at the bottom and crackle accented the crown. When you open the flap you can see I added a journaling tag from the collection and a photo mat behind that. The large tag above I added some lace and trim and a fold out book.

This is a fun little book that will fold out and you can add pics and journaling. I used a mask and some glimmer paint to the cover.

This is a fun little pop out and I cant wait to add photos to it!

Stay tuned for more pages soon! :)~Beth
