Scrapbooking With Victory

 

For this layout I used the Victory Paper Packet. This is a really versatile paper and can be used for just about any layout.

I really like the Color Ready wooden garden shapes too. For these I took my chocolate ink pad and sponged on some color right on to the wood the attached some Mocha Opaque's Pearls for some dimension.

I also used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and cut out the Scalloped Square for the focal point. I cut it on the Square 2 shape using the decorative layer function and at 10 3/4 inches.

Here is a layout I did using the “Dotty for you” papers. 

When I seen the Dotty For You B&T Duos Special I knew I had to use these Photos of my granddaughter. The colors in the photos just go with the papers.

One thing I did to this layout was to stamp on of the flowers in the Hooray Bouquet Set to form by bottom border. To do this I drew a line in pencil 2 inches up from the bottom of the paper and one inch from each side, then I inked up the stamp and stamped the flower making sure that it was centered on the line. Then when I paced my orange dotty paper I placed it exactly on the line that I drew so only the bottom half of the flower shows.

I cut 3 different sizes of the flower with my coordinating cricut Cartridge, Art Philosophy and stamped the flowers then layered them. I gently bent the petals downwards and popped them up with a foam dot for dimension.

My title was made with the Pennant Alphabet, cut out by hand then placed along the bakers twine string, with foam dots too for dimension.

Celebrate Today

 

I was blog hopping one day and came across this layout from Sherri Tozzi I really liked it. So I decided to make one similar to hers. I made the scalloped circles with a 2 inch punch and cut them in half. I also took a 1 ¼ inch plain circle punch and punched out red circles and cut them in half too. I layered the circles together. I then took my 1/8^th inch circle punch and punched out little circles in the scalloped part.

I took the Pennant Alphabet stamp and stamped out today onto sunny yellow cardstock and then cut out the pennants. I made the banner string out of waxy flax and tied little bows on the end.
