Beautiful World!

Hello Sassy Diva followers.  This week the DT was asked to create a scene of any theme.  I was organizing  a big pile of pictures and came across these adorable pics of my eldest granddaughter Katie at the park playing with her dad and then at the lake where we all went to feed the ducks.  For my scene I decided to use the Cricut Cartridge  Give a Hoot which I had not used yet even though I have had it for quite awhile.  I took pictures while working on the layout but they have seemed to disappear.  I do have the recipe however.

Here is the complete two page layout 

The paper I used was an old stack by We R Memory Keepers called Rainbow.

For the first page the sun was cut from page 64 at 4 inches for all 3 layers.

The squirrels were cut from page 52 at 4 inches.  They are one piece and I cut them apart to place the picture in the middle.  

The grass was cut from page 65 at 1 1/2 inches (cut 5 times to cover both pages)

Beautiful World was cut from page 36 at 3 3/4 inches and cut apart so I could use title on both pages.

Used MS flower border punch and green ribbon from stash

Squirrels and sun embossed 

Punched out flowers (Fiskar punch) and hand cut flowers from paper to add to grass

The tree was cut from page 67 at 5 inches and embossed.   There are 3 layers. 

Bird nest page 36 cut at 1 inch.  

Duck and pond cut at 3 inches.   

Closeups

Many of the edges and embossing are chalked with Quick Quotes Chalk Blue Hawaiian and Green Envy 

Hope you enjoyed my layout and will come back all week to see the "Scenes" that the other DT members create.  We always welcome your comments.  Happy Craftin! Suzanne

Apple of my Eye!

This is Jen from 3 Cats and a Bug. This week at SSD, the DT is celebrating national Apple week!



I did a simple frame using Fancy Frames, Just Because and Give a Hoot cartridges and green stickles and a white gel pen.



The frame was cut at 6.817 X 8.154. I used that size to put a 3.5 X 3.75 picture in it.



The Apple border was cut @ 1.5 and I welded two together for each side. I ended up cutting part of the border off on one side of apple on two borders. I added the extra piece to the other side of the apple core. I just used scotch tape since it was on the backside.



I then cut 8 of the layer pieces for the border. I did 8 each in red of the apple and 8 each in white and red of the core. For the apples it was simply layered on top of the green border. For the core I glued the white piece down first the cut the top and bottom off of the red piece and glued them down.

I used green stickles for the apple leaf.

Apple of my eye was cut from Just Because @ 6 in red with a white layered words.



I think it will make a great frame for my Grandchild's ultrasound picture.

Thanks for looking!
