It's Birthday Party Time

 

Happy Birthday Scrapping Bug Designs. 

 I made this t-shirt using the print and cut feature on my Cameo for my daughter to wear.  I designed the shirt and then printed it on transfer paper right in my photo printer.  My daughter loves telling everyone she's 4 now!  The invitation and cupcake toppers were also made using the print and cut feature on my Cameo since crafty time is so hard to squeeze in with working full time.  The party hat and cupcake stand were made with traditional paper piecings.  You can't have a birthday without cupcakes....and making them is the best part.  My daughter and I made the cupcakes together and yes, I did let her lick the beaters just like my mom let me when I was little.  What's more girly than pink and sprinkles, butterflies and unicorns?

 

Scroll down for some more pictures of this birthday set from the "Happy Spring" collection from Scrapping Bug Designs.

 

Birthday Bash

 

This layout was made from the "Birthday Bash" paper piecing set from Scrapping Bug Designs.  This set was so big, that some of the presents, a slice of cake and two bears didn't even make it on this layout!

Ready for Spring

I'm so ready for some spring weather and this bright combination of colors made it feel like spring even if the weather wasn't cooperating.  I used the paper piecing file "The Early Bird Gets the Worm" from Scrapping Bug Designs.  This will be the April paper piecing class at Sugar and Spice Scrapbooking.  Now if only the sun would make a nice appearance and the flowers would start blooming.

Cotton Tail Express Layout

 

 

This is a subtle Easter layout that I created for a class at Sugar and Spice Scrapbook Co. using the new We R Memory Keepers spring line.  I used the "Cotton Tail Express" file from Scrapping Bug Designs to make the paper piecings.  I loved the colors in this paper so much that I bought more of the line and an Easter dress for my daughter that matched the orange and aqua.  I can't wait to get the pictures printed and on the layout.

Just Treats

 

What's more Halloween than a patch of pumpkins, spiders, and black cats?  I combined some Bo Bunny, Graphic 45, SEI, and We R Memory Keepers papers to create this layout with the "No Tricks, Just Treats" paper piecing from Scrapping Bug Designs.  I found the Lori Whitlock tag on her site and printed it to coordinate with the paper pieced spider.  The eyes on the cats are print and cut eyes from Scrapping Bug Designs.

 

 

Autumn

In just the last week and a half autumn finally decided to show up here.  Our first frost came a month later than usual.  Just as the trees came into their colors, the snow began falling.  I've had snow on the pass that I drive to work for three days this week.  I decided to make this layout before the fall season is entirely gone!  This layout features a combination of files from Scrapping Bug Designs:  "Fall Scarecrow" (sunflowers, pumpkins, and scarecrow), "Autumn" (title, and barrel with leaves), "Fabulous Fall" (fence), and "Just Beeing Cute" (wagon).  There are 162 pieces in all not counting the tag, mats, and border.  This layout was featured at Sugar and Spice Paper Co. for the October paper piecing class.  Thanks for looking.

Fishin' Tales

 

What person that fishes doesn't have some sort of fishing tale?  This layout features Bo Bunny Camp-a-Lot papers and paper piecings from My Scrap Chick.  The bear on the top right was enlarged to 180% so it would fit behind the mat.  Two trees from Scrapping Bug Designs were cut to continue the tree pattern from the left page to behind the dock.  I love the little bait shop and will be altering it to use on future woodsy layouts.
