Cute lil babies

My daughter wanted some babies to put on her Early Childhood Development poster she was doing on pregnancy and I found these cute little baby svg files online and cleaned them up a bit to cut. I put stickles on the cute little hair bows, cuttlebug textile embossing folder on the girls shirt, chalk for the cheeks and a little inking and doodling. They looked so adorable on her poster.

Peter from the Family Guy

My husband loves the Family Guy and I always have such a hard time making male cards. I found this image online and converted it to an svg and pop dotted it. Then I thought how cute would it be for Brian to serve him a cupcake so I converted Brian also to an svg. The cupcake is a sticker I had. The birthday banner is cut from celebrations cart.


more Christmas cards

These are some quick cards I did to mail with Christmas goodies. All three images are from The Graphics Fairy. All the card bases were cut using A Child's Year cricut cart.
On this first card I used snow dots embossing folder on the green background paper; Martha Stewart doily lace border punch, gold flat back pearls; ribbon from stash and lots of inking and doodling.


This one I used flat back pearls, skittles, fiskars corner punch, ribbon, inking and doodling

This last one is just skittles, ribbon, inking and doodling

first day of school-sous 11/27 challenge

This is for Stuck on U Sketches 11/27 sketch challenge. The picture, which is not in very good lighting, is of my oldest daughter back in the 80's and when I saw this picture and the butterflies on the sketch I thought it would be perfect because she looks so nervous in the picture like she has butterflies in her stomach! The font is sizzix alpha clips. Cuttlebug embossing folders script and swiss dots, lots of inking and doodling.


close-up of the butterfly- I used walk in my garden cricut cartridge cut @ 2" black base on shadow and then patterned paper on regular. Inked, doodled and added a couple skittles.
