Playtime

Love how easy this layout went together. I don't have any little ones anymore but had to make this one because it was so cute. I made it boyish but with a change of colors it could be for a girl also. Playtime was one of the April files so it can be purchased this month with the basic membership.

Blowing Bubbbles

I used Glossy Accents an the bubbles for this layout. The background paper is from Paper Adventures called Bubble Wash. I choose to not use any of the borders on this layout and placed the photo mats crooked. Can't wait until I can take pictures of the kids blowing bubbles for this layout. File can be found ppbndesigns.com

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.

Little Baker

I used a recipe card as one of the photo mats. This will be so cute with my grand daughters pictures on it.

Raggedy Ann and Andy

Rag Doll file from TreasureBox Designs. Needs some more just haven't decided what.

Snow White

Snow White is one of the 2-page svg file set membership. This month if you join a membership you will get the Disney Princess for free, There are 6 of them. These are such cute files.

Best Friends

Best Friends will be released in April unless you are a 2-page svg kit member and then it is free this month. I used the paper for my borders on this one and just cut the flowers, title and photo frames. I think I an going to add some butterflies but haven't decided yet. Paper is Hippie Chic from DCWV.

Ppbn introduced a New CLub

Snow Day

Sorry nothing is glued down but I want to show everyone the new layout Nikki made for the Svg 2 page Scrapbook Club. This file is Snow Day. What a wonderful way to catch up on your scrapbooking. You get the svgs for a 2 page layout a day for $20.00 a month. Well I am off to do the new one for today.

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.

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.

You're A Hoot PPbN Designs file

Hello everyone! I decided to show you how I plan a layout and sometimes decide to change things. I always take a picture before I glue down my pieces to see if I like how I have things laid out.

 I decided I needed a moon behind the owl so I went into my Silhouette Design Studio and I just made a circle and pulled it off the page a little bit and cut.

 I put pop dots behind the owl and some of the flowers to give  added dimension to my page.

 I added some accents to my words and some of the flowers to make them pop a little.
