LET'S COOK SOME MORE!

Carta Bella's "Homemade With Love" isn't new,

but you gotta love this vintage cooking collection.

You could also use the mixer die from the Echo Park

collection we looked at yesterday with this collection.

It works with both.

These papers from Canvas Corp are so versatile

You have the page on the right with all of the 

items you can cut out and use.

Then there are recipe cards in

 kraft, ivory, and white cardstock.

I photographed only the kraft ones.

Then there are the cut out pages where you

can get your labels for the different categories.

Mix them up with the Echo Park and Carta Bella Collections

to add some color.

The possibilities are limitless!

So come pick up some of these wonderful

collections and have FUN!

 

LET'S GET COOKING!

Check out Echo Park's fabulous cooking line of paper,

"Made From Scratch".

It has such wonderful designs, 

recipe cards you can cut out,

plus stamps and dies.

LOVING that mixer die!

More papers from this collection.

Love the apple pie paper!

This is another of my favorites from that collection.

You could use this to label spice bottles

or cut it into strips for borders.

So, come pick up some of this great collection 

for your next project featuring food or cooking.

YES, WE GOT YOU RIBBONS!

Yes, there are some new ribbons in the store!

Some really fun, wide ric rac ribbon in beautiful spring colors.

Great twisted jute - some restock and some new.

Can you say FUN?

How about some wired eyelash ribbon?

This will add lots of fun and texture to your projects!

This gorgeous crushed ribbon continues to be one of our favorites.

There are some beautiful new colors in this ribbon as well as 

a restock of some basics.

This wide woven ribbon is beautiful and we have some new colors in it.

We just can't get enough of the burlap and lace combo ribbons.  

The torn edge muslin just adds so much texture to projects.

So, come to the store and pick up some

of these fabulous ribbons.

Just measure them off at the ribbon bar.

If you had problems seeing the pictures in

yesterday's post, 

I have fixed them.

version of the Scor-Pal, you can still have

this cute bag since it will fit inside.

Another cool feature of this bag is the price:

Cat used AdornIts' "Snow Days" collection for

pictures of her two newest puppies' first snow!

They LOVED snow!

 

So much to love on these layouts.  

I love how Cat used buttons scattered

buttons make.

The right page of the two page sketch.

call Cat and see if she has enough.

Everybody is having a blast taking the photos

and they are loving the albums that Cat is creating.

NAPTIME....

 

Cat created this layout recently using Kaisercraft's Basecoat collection.

I love these papers and love how Cat cut the planks apart and used them

as embellishments.

Then she used another piece from the collection as the photo mat.

The title was created by the subject of the layout, Ray!

Ray created the title with his trusty laser!

Cat repeated cutting apart the planks and using them as borders on this page.

She used some twine/yarn as more embellishments.

Ray has the same routine as my husband!

There are so many beautiful papers in this collection.

Be sure you check it out the next time you are at the store.

It goes with so many other collections.

YOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A "HOUND DOG"

 

Cat created these layouts of her adorable dachshunds 

using AdornIt's new collection, "Hound Dog".

This page is filled with lots of great elements tucked

around the photos.

  

The facing page of Cat's two page layout.

More great photos of those cute dachshunds!

Don't you love those tags, labels, and 

tickets look like they are tucked behind the photos!?  

Instead, it is just strategic placement of the photos.

This is a great layout and accommodates

SIX photos!

 

 Here is the "Dog Tags" page from the collection.

Cat cut out the tags from this page and tucked them 

behind the photos on one of her pages.

She did quite a bit of "fussy cutting" on her layouts.

 

And this is the "Doggie Life" page...

I wonder where they got the name?  LOL!

 

This page is called "Dog Park". 

I love the multi-colored text on this page.

This page is called "Tickertape" because of the 

patterned paper strips.

The reverse side is four quarter pages which work

great for mini albums and cards.

 

This is called "Hound Dog Cut Apart" and is

full of cut apart elements to use on your projects.

 

These wooden elements will really add some texture to your project!

 

These are the cardstock stickers for this collection.

These are the clear stickers for the collection.

 

These are the laser cuts and this is

where Cat got the title.

Come pick up some of this wonderful new

collection to create some cute

layouts of your fur babies!
