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!

BRRRR......IT''S COLD!

OK...so it's not snowy outside today....
It is COLD!
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
around.  We tend to forget what great embellishments
buttons make.

AdornIt has several new collections that we have
in stock at the store.
They are fantastic, so be sure you come check them out!

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!
 Dog Tags 12x12
 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.
Doggie Life 12x12: click to enlarge 
And this is the "Doggie Life" page...
I wonder where they got the name?  LOL!
Doggie Bark 12x12: click to enlarge 
This page is called "Dog Park". 
I love the multi-colored text on this page.
Dog Tickertape 12x12: click to enlarge
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.
Hound Dot Cut Apart 12x12: click to enlarge 
This is called "Hound Dog Cut Apart" and is
full of cut apart elements to use on your projects.
Woof Wood Shapes: click to enlarge 
These wooden elements will really add some texture to your project!
Furry Friend Cardstock Sticker: click to enlarge 
These are the cardstock stickers for this collection.
Woof Clear Sticker: click to enlarge
These are the clear stickers for the collection.
My Dog Laser Die Cut: click to enlarge
