59-62 challenge layouts

ppbndesigns.com used two files. Love this Anna.

Challenge # 51-54

I am doing four of each of the Disney ones because I have a bunch of grandkids and this way if I need them they are already to go in a book. File is from ppbndesigns.com.

Challenge pages 1-9

 This file is from ppbndesigns.com love love this Santa. Would make a great card.

 These pieces were in my stash that I had saved to do these pages. It only took me two years to get it done. The file is from Treasureboxdesigns.com and just looked they are still on the site.

 I mixed file on this one. The force Awakens title and the little robot are from a hop. The rest are from TrasureBoxdesigns again.

 The next two are from misskatecuttables.com I couldn't decide which I  liked best so I bought both designs. I can say I love the second house and the Explore cut the pieces great. Sticky mat is a must and I used Recollections brand paper.

Hope you enjoyed pages 1-9 and now I am off to do another Gingerbread house since I am still 1 short.

Pool Party

ppbndesigns.com is where to find the file in May, it is one of the membership files for April. I added some glitter to the title and some bling to the girl. Such a sweet layout for those summer pictures of your kids and grandkid.

Brace Face

PPbN Designs Brace Face is one of the 2-page SVG Kit Club but will be available to everyone next month. I didn't put the borders on this one but still deciding on that one. I used vinyl for the braces because it was shiny. I used some glitter on the toothpaste. This went together so fast I might have time for another layout today.

Disney Treats

This layout is ready for some Disney treat pictures. The file I used was Disney Treats which will be out in April. (unless you have a 2 page svg file membership)

Peas in a Pod

Peas in a Pod

My son and Grandson look so much alike that we sometimes have to look at the back of a picture to decide which is which. Nathan now wears glasses to that helps. I used some paper I had around wanted it to look older not a baby layout.

File used:
Peas in a Pod 2 page layout kit.

Handy Boy Set Card

Tool Belt Card

Using a file I found in the Silhouette store for a card and adding my own images from ppbn designs I created a cute card. Still deciding if it is going to be a birthday card or a Father's Day card. These tools are just too cute. I made sure when I glued the pockets on the card that I left the top open to insert my pieces.

List of files used:

 SVG Attic JGW Blooming Card Kit or Silhouette on line go to Snapdragon Snippets Design ID#46209 7/29/2013 or type in Garden Apron.

Princess and the Frog Birthday set

Thought I would post something other than a layout since I always do layouts. I found these cute plates, napkins, french fry box, silverware and place mats at Wal-Mart for one dollar per package. Too cute not to try something with them.The flower arrangement is a few files, the Prince and Princess are a Members Club layout which will be out next month for everyone, so you can check it out at ppbndesigns.com, the roses and the daisies are from the silhouette studio but can be found other places, the little bug is from  Kadoodlebugdesigns.com Kids Catching Fireflies the Birthday sign is Happy Birthday title from ppbndesigns.com and the frogs are again Members files which which can be found at ppbndesigns.com. The cupcake toppers is the png. file printed and then cut. I did mirror the image and sandwiched the toothpick between the layers.

If you would like to find out how I put the flowers together leave me a comment and I will make a video.

Beauty and the Beast

This layout is so sweet, the black is a bugger to cut but the effect is totally worth it. I changed up the colors from the file and placed my mats differently but all the rest is totally Nikkis' file Beauty and the Beast from her 2-page scrapbook svg club. The files will be open to everyone next month. Hope you enjoy this layout as much as I did making it.

You Stole my Heart

Well I really messed up on the layering on this one, but I like it anyhow. I used a pink red and white theme just because I think it looks brighter. The file is You Stole my Heart from the 2-page svg kit club. Hope you enjoy.

Lego Fun

Love this file, I know I will use this one many times. Lego Fun I used the file pretty much as is except for color. I did add an extra black offset on the title to set it off from the page. I use scotch foam squares on the blocks so I could still get my pictures behind the blocks. Hope you try this one for all those Lego pictures you have.

One of the Family-Cat

The base paper I used was from StudioCalico.com the Classic Calico collection, get it calico for cat. Well I do not have a cat but I did need a layout for this post so I choose one of the 2-page layout from the ppbndesigns members svg files. Love that I get 30 layouts in a month, yes not all of them work for my pictures but I scrap for all my family so they will all get used. I changed the colors around on this one because my daughter wanted a orange kitty. Other than pop dots and some ribbon the rest was from the file. One of the Family-Cat

Believe Christmas Layout

Merry Christmas Everyone, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

File is from the Silhouette Store Believe by PPbNDesigns.com. The paper used is from Echo Park I had left over from the Merry Christmas line. I added some pearls on the Believe for something extra and inked my edges with Powder Puff chalking ink from Quick Quotes. Pretty simple and a very fast layout. Hope everyones holidays are happy and safe!

Happy Turkey Day files from PPbN

I am the guest designer for Die Cuttin' Divas this week and the challenge is Thanksgiving.

 Design ID #51289  in the Silhouette Store, or look under designer PPbN and you can find it plus a lot of other cute designs. The paper I used is Flourish Fusion by the Paper Studio. I cut two papers in half and cut the third paper into thirds using it to glue the other two paper together for a 12 x 12 paper again. The doily cut under the turkey is a Silhouette store file that I stretched oblong to fit my turkey. The tag in the upper right hand corner is hand cut a hole punched and ribbon added.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving and a Blessed day with family. Thank you for coming to my blog.

Finger Puppets with bendy card.

 I loved the card by Samantha Walker from the Silhouette Store but wanted it to be a fun card for my granddaughter so I knew just what to add, print then cut figures from PPbN Designs.com. Instead of piecing such small figures I used the .png.

Design ID #53879                         

1/13/2014

Sleeping Princess and the retired set Once Upon A Dream. I used a cone shape to turn these cuts into finger puppets.

I print then cut the Happy Birthday title to go on the inside and cut the Princess. I hope my grand daughter will love this card.

Print Then Cut with the DE software for the Silhouette Cameo. I have updated to 3.0.343

1. Choose design, I choose the png but you can also color and put back together the svg file. For this I am going to talk about a png file.
2. add the Registration marks. 4th button at top from the right. Looks like sheet of paper with registration marks. Under style button choose your machine.
3. Now to get cut lines go to 6 button from right. Open trace window. The one with a butterfly.
Select trace area and make a box around image. Now time to play with the different settings. I turned off High Pass and moved the Threshold to 100%. The balloons on my image didn't completely yellow out but I am just tracing the outside edge so it worked for me. Trace outer edge.
4. If you are wanting a white border just use the offset and remember to take away the other cut line.
5. Choose print setting for you printer and print. Button looks like printer.

6. Put paper on mat and I add a extra light in front of my machine. Cut.

 Add the Registration marks and make sure your image is inside the marks.

This is with High pass on and I might have gotten away with this since I only need the outline but I choose to unclick that and use the Threshold to 100%.

 Just showing the cut line, move image back into place to print and then cut or if you like the white border use the offset but remember to remove the first cut line either by moving it out of the way or changing it to no cut.

Halloween Page

Ok, I love pink, purple and lime green so that is what I used on this page. Decided Halloween didn't need to be orange and black. The file I used is from PPbN Designs Halloween scrapbook page kit. This makes it so easy to complete a page in a short time. Hope you have a wonderful week and enjoyed this weeks project. Today is my 35th wedding anniversary, I am lucky to be married to my best friend. Love you hubby! Going to spend the day with him.

Halloween Owl Wreath

Good morning everyone, hope you all are enjoying a beautiful Fall. I made these owls last week and decided I needed to use them on my Halloween wreath. Any wreath can be decorated with your paper piecings and can be changed out so easy for the next year. Files used were Frankenstein-owl,Mummy-owl, Vampire-owl, Bat-owl, and Witch-owl all from PPbNdesigns.com. Hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did.
