Banner using cutting boards

Today I thought I would share this banner that I created using flexible plastic cutting boards from the dollar store as the base.

I  also used the Aiko line from My little Shoebox.  I wanted the feel of this banner to reflect the theme, so I made the strings of cherry blossoms hanging whimsically like rain drops. A little bit of shine adds to the whimsy.check out my blog for more info.

My Little Shoebox and Twinery layout

My Little Shoebox and the Twinery are doing a blog hop this week (read prizes).  I just wanted to share this layout that I created for the blog hop. I used my crop-a-dile to punch notches at half inch increments around the blue paper and then I wove pieces of twine, securing in the back. I used the Keepsake collection from My Little Shoebox. I just love the colors in this line. This page is about Passover Seder, but would work great for Easter photos too. Or any other happy kind of theme.

Double Page My Little Shoebox layout

Today I wanted to share with you a double page layout that I created for My Little Shoebox using their Up in the Trees collection.

I don't often do double page layouts, but I had a ton of photos from our egg hunt, so I kind of needed to make this one into a double. For the center strip, I wanted to break up the yellow, but then the white cardstock looked too stark, so I used a graph paper background stamp dipped in glimmer mist to create a subtle effect.
