Beach Beauties

My girls have been asking and asking to go to the beach for the last month. It seems like we always have a million things to do on the weekends that we never find the time to go. But I'm thinking we'll make some time very soon ;)

 Today was my nephew's 1st birthday! 

I made this super cute little card for him. 

I also made him a banner.

And of course, the birthday boy and his parents!

Thanks a Melon!

So... I tried to make it look like the ants and watermelon were on a picnic blanket but I made the cuts a little larger than expected. I probably should have turned them into a layout. LOL! Oh well...

Little Love Bug

I know... we're a few month away from Halloween and I'm finally scrapbooking pics from last year!

What can I say??? I'm a little behind and I've got scrapbooking ADD. I don't scrap pics in any kind of order. I'm all over the place and I make layouts depending on my mood =)

(click on images to enlarge)

I've got two little ladies here at home but I had to showcase my youngest in this layout. I've called her Lani Bear since she was a baby and this super cute file from Scraptastical Kreations file was perfect for her pics.

For today's layout I decided to use the Cameo's print/cut feature with Scraptastical Kreations Paper Piecing: Sizzlin Summer Fun file. It's the first time I've used this feature for a layout. And I kind of like the way it turned out. To make it look more 3D... I used some pens, chalk, and colored pencils with each image. 

One thing I LOVE about Scraptastical Kreations' files are that they all come in multiple formats (including PNG) which makes it very easy to use the print/cut feature on my Cameo. 

Link up your creation to Monica's Creative Madness. 

This week's prize is: Peachy Keen Stamps Simple Sallie pk-532
