Teenage Rock Star

Hi Bloggers,

I have the original Cricut Paper Dolls cartridges, so when Cricut recently brought out the Paper Dolls Teen Scene cartridge, I knew I would love it.
The teenage boy with a guitar was screaming to be used, so I just had to make a layout.

Here's a close up of the teenager - super cool!

I used cotton for shoe laces and left them untied (as most teenagers do) - this idea came from Lesley, a good friend of mine.

The border strip was designed on my Gypsy using images from the Paper Lace cartridge.

I used Glossy Accents on the guitar to make it shiny like my son's.

I used a phrase from the Quarter Note cartridge for my title and embellished my layout with chipboard shapes, gems and ribbon. I also stamped a brick design on the background paper - as shown in the photo below.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Music Inspired Birthday Card

Hi Bloggers,
I made a card for a good friend of mine that I'd like to share with you.

The mats were cut using the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and I used a music stamp to create the background pattern on the white layer (with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink).

I cut the pianist from the Quarter Note cartridge and embossed the top layer with a swirl design.

The flowers and leaves are from the Flower Shoppe cartridge. I shaped and layered them before adhering to the card.

I covered the swirls and text with glossy accents and also added Stickles glitter glue on the burgundy mat and brad.

Hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by.
