Baby Shower Time! It's a GIRL!!!

So, I have thoroughly enjoyed creating decorations for my grandsons' baby showers - all 4 of them! But now we are adding a granddaughter to our family and I am thrilled to make some girly decorations!!! This is Java Jen from JAVA JEN CREATIONS and I want to thank Sheila, for the opportunity to share my creations here, once again!! I decided to make a big centerpiece in a basket. Here is what I came up with:

Here are some close-ups:

I got all the various cuts from Cricut Cartridges. I can't seem to remember them all but I know I used Creative Memories Tiny Treasures, Cricut Lite Sugar and Spice, Baby Steps, Cricut Lite Cupcakes and Sweet Treats. There are so many great images to choose from that I just had to pick a bunch!! I also wrote on a chalkboard sign: 

I also made a little snowflake banner that can be hung up in her room!

I attached the snowflakes to the dowel with fishing line. These snowflakes are from the new snowflake cartridge, Holiday Snowflakes! So many beautiful choices on this cartridge!! I cut everything on my Cricut Explore! 

I would totally be remiss if I didn't share a few precious pictures of our sweet Lora, who arrived the day before her due date, Jan. 3rd! She came so quickly that her Daddy, our son, had to deliver her!! What priceless memories!! 

Here is our beauty at 1 month old!!

Thank you for indulging me! :-) 

Sushi & Donuts layout...

Hi everyone! This is Kristy from craftin-on-my-door and I want to thank Sheila for allowing my to be her guest designer again today! I look forward to my monthly She's a Sassy Lady posts!
Today I have step by step pictures of how I put a layout together. These pictures just crack me up! Little Stinkerbella likes to do certain things. For example, whenever she has a doctor's appt. and has to get shots I let her pick what and where she would like to go for lunch. The past two times she has picked sushi and donuts! Of course I had to preserve these memories! ;)

I started by placing my 3 photos onto the page.

 The background piece for the title is from Graphically Speaking and was cut at 6.74" in width and 6.50" in height. Then I tied twine around it and attached it to the page. I also picked which Kiwi Lane Design templates I wanted to place onto my page.

 I took one template off at a time and traced them onto my papers. For the grey shadow, I traced the template, cut it out, and then cut it down the middle.

 For the title the word "Sushi" is from the MS Birthday Cake cart and was cut at 2.25". The word "Donuts" was cut from the Birthday Bash cart at 2". I thought it would be cute to have the "o" in donut be made out of a donut! The donut is from Slumber Party, was cut at 2.25", I also added some Glossay Accents to the frosting, and used foam adhesive to pop it up. The "&" sign is from Sugar and Spice and was cut at 7.15".

 Then, I attached the title onto the page.

 Next, I attached the pictures onto the page and used a fun SU punch to add a tab to one of my pics.

 I used a mixture of rub-ons to put the date onto my page.

 I also used a grey marker to add some journaling, straight to the page.

 I also added some small round stickers that said, "YUM!" to the tab.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all get some scrapping time this week! ♥Kristy
