Mickey & Me and Minnie & Me

So cute and easy. I did have to decrease the size of the ears to 11.4 to fit on mat for the Explore which wouldn't need to be done on the Cameo. I cut the borders with my paper cutter and the frames the same way. Me & Minnie and Me & Mickey These are all ready for someones trip to Disney. This is part of the 2-page svg file kit but will be out for sell this month.

Baby Girl

Baby Girl 2 page layout I adjusted this file a little and left out some borders. Used the paper pack Twirly Girly from www.chickaniddy.com that I bought from Tuesdays Morning. Can't wait to find some baby pictures for this one.

The Few. The Proud.

Love how this came out. Had trouble finding so many greens but I made do.The Few The Proud is one of the 2 page svg kits with membership, but will be available in April to be purchased separately.
My son is in the Army so I am sure I will find some pictures to go with this.

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.

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)

Girl Scout Cookies

One of the 2-page SVG Kit Club. I don't have any Girl Scouts but this page was too cute not to do it. I found that the blond girl can become a boy if you leave off the back hair and trim the black or dark brown layer to remove pigtails. The cookies look good enough to eat.

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

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.

Visiting Santa by PPbN

Visiting Santa file from PPbN Designs

 This is how I set up my page for the print-n-cut part of this project. I deleted all cut lines except for the outside edges. I added and offset to the bow extra pieces so no white would show. I added stitching lines to the title by selecting the title letters and did a internal offset. Then I chose a line color (white). Next choose the line style you like ( I chose the second dash one but any will work. Now this is where I goofed up the first time and had to redo but you have to choose a line thickness on the same screen as Line style, I choose .026 but that is your choice, also.

 I glittered the bows.

 I used Flower Soft for the beard and trim

 These are the foam dots I used to add dimension.

 I used velvet cardstock for Santa's outfit and his mittens. i added Glossy Accents on the berries for the holly. This page has a lot of texture and dimension even though I choose to use print and cut for most of the page.

Another layout with the same paper pieces plus some extras from the sil. store.

Sisters Frozen Layout

My beautiful grand-daughters had to have their hair braided to go with their shirts. Claire one braid and Julia two braids. As soon as I saw the Anna and Elsa files I knew I would have to make them, so detailed and cute, I love them. The files I used were Snow Queen 2, Frozen Princess 2, Sisters Title with a font off my computer for the names. I had a little trouble with the eyes on Anna but by the time I got to Elsa I had figured them out. I was trying to make it too hard instead of just following the direction.

Fun in the Sun

I have a whole new batch of pictures to scrap after being on vacation for 6 weeks but I have been having trouble finding the ambition to scrapbook. Nikki's new files have my head swimming with lots of ideas just need to set my mind to it and start cutting. This weeks blog layout is one of my grand daughter Claire at the beach. She learned to boogie board during this visit so I know she will be happy to get these pages. The files I used are Fun in the Sun, cute crab, and for the sand bucket cute beach ball, sand castle and sand pail set. For the background paper I experimented with digital papers from Designs by dani that I purchase on Jessica Sprague's one buck wednesday.  I used the shapes from ppbn file placed them on the page in design studio and dropped the pattern paper files onto the shapes, then I printed the papers with my Epson WF-7520 wide format printer. I got the idea for the picture on page one from pinterest. The sun has a cute little Peachy Keen face. Hope you all are having a great summer I know I am.

Zoo layout

Our zoo is on a mountain side and the view is so gorgeous but today I am only going to show you the giraffe enclosure. This is so different because we fed the giraffes lettuce and you could pet them, take your picture with them and even have them lick you. For this layout I used the Through Thick and thin file. I inked my edges with powder puff chalking ink.

 For the eyes I used a uni ball Signo white pen for the white areas, the blue accent is a colored pencil. For the lashes I used a black colored pencil to draw a black line around part of the eye and smudged it with a paper nib and odorless mineral spirits (both can be found at Michael's) and the the lashes are drawn on with a .05 black marker.( I use Prismcolor brand).

 This title was made using fonts from my computer and a mountain from the Silhouette store.

You're My Favorite M&M for PPbN Designs

You're My Favorite layout for this weeks blog post. I love this file and have used it often on projects for my grandkids. You can use just one of the bears or all of them like I did here. The bears are cute all by themselves. I inked the edges of the bears with powder puff chalking ink from Quick Quotes. (Mocha Mama) The paper is Bazzil Cardstock and the border is from the Sil store. I cut my frames at 4 x 6 and added ribbon to the edge. I left  pieces open so I could slide pictures underneath my embellishments. The bears and M & M were sized so the M & M was 4 inches wide. (you could size them down even further since pieces are simple)


You're My Favorite M&M file is here.

Campin Crazy 4 page layout

Good Morning! Well, it is Monday again and this is my post for PPbN Designs blog. I made a 4 page layout using the Campin Crazy file. I added the moon from Love You to The Moon and Back. I made the pieces from the Campin Crazy file and quickly realized that I would need  more than two pages.

 I inked most of the pieces. Here are close ups of some of the pieces.

For the title I used the alpha that came with the file and another one off my computer. I laid out the letters the way I wanted them to look and then offset twice. Hope you enjoyed and hope you have a wonderful week.

Picnic Time Layout

Good morning, this is Janice with the PPbN Designs blog post for today. I love picnics so this layout was perfect for my summertime pictures. You can find the file here. I didn't change this file other than the background paper and the borders. I do usually make my mats to fit a regular sized photo so I did change one of those, also. Hope you enjoy these cute little ants. I think they will be showing up on other layouts I design.

Monster Layout a PPbN Designs file

Good morning everyone Janice here with the PPbN Designs blog post for this Monday. I just love this file. All the monsters are so cute and be used individually or as I did on a two page layout.

 I embossed the clouds to give them a little texture. You can find the file on PPbNdesigns.com or here. I think page is ready for some of my grand-monsters pictures hope you enjoy.
