My Daughter's Party Favors For V-Day

For my project I did  a wedding layout. I am currently working on (slowly) my wedding scrapbook album. The cartridges I used today were Cricut Wedding Solutions, Divine Wedding, and Tie The Knot. These are my favorite go to wedding cartridges, the images are so elegant I love the way this layout turned out. 

I cut the doves from the cartridge Wedding, The Car, the Black mat and the phrase are from Divine Wedding. Just Married is from Tie the Knot. The white photo mat is from George and Basic Shapes. I'm not sure what the sizes are because I didn't save this project. I know shame on me!! I hope you liked my layout today.

Your now on your way to Doris http://mybugandmecreate.blogspot.com/

For my project today I made a small Easter basket for my daughter's basket using Cricut Craft Room Teresa Collins Exclusive Bunnies & Chicks and Easter Basket. You can buy these from www.Cricut.com and you get some cute images for 9.99. I really like how this came out and the paper was so cute. I will give you a hint, I did use BLING and Glitter paper! Those of you who follow me and know how I design it wouldn't be me if there wasn't bling or glitter involved.

The basket is cut at 11x9, the Bow on the sides of the basket is cut at 2" and the bunny is at 2.25. I used white glitter paper to cut my bunny out and then I took chalk and colored the nose a light pink. I plan on putting some plastic eggs in this little basket which some money in it for her bank.

I hope you enjoyed today's project. Your now on to see Tonya http://ittybittyladybugs.blogspot.com
