Cookie Sheet Mini album / Home Decor piece

Hello everyone!! It's my turn again to be a guest designer at She's a Sassy Lady !! I decided to use an actual cookie sheet to showcase these great pictures of our niece and my mother-in-law baking cookies! This project was a little challenging since I haven't been home to my craft room since June 30th! We are traveling with my husband where he works so I made this project in our hotel room using the limited amount of craft supplies that I brought with me! These Club Ruby kits are perfect to take with me because they contain so many wonderful elements! I was able to use my Mom's Cricut when we made a quick trip to Ohio! Yay!! I had my cuts all designed on my Gypsy so that made it really easy!! I also used Paper Layerz for some of the cuts! This paper is awesome!! To check out this paper click HERE!

Here it is all done and folded up! Now I'll go into more detail as to how each element was created.

I started with a 10.5"x15.5" cookie sheet.

I just love this paper from the Club Ruby Designers June kit! This perfect ribbon is from Hobby Lobby!

This is a sheet of Paper Layerz paper by Megan Elizabeth! This paper is just awesome! Check out the link HERE or above! This pic is before cutting.

Here is my Gypsy screen showing exactly where my cuts will be.

This is that same sheet of paper after cutting. You can see how much room I have left on this sheet!

Close-ups of the cuts.

I cut a slit in this fold-out for the ribbon to hold it closed.

All buttoned up!

The top fold-out unfolded once.

Unfolded twice.

Unfolded three times.

Close-up of these die-cuts. I just love them!

All the way open.

I used the tag in the June kit to journal the 3 pics in this fold-out. I used the sticker numbers to number the pics and the tag.

Close-up of the cupcake. This cut was from Everyday Paperdolls.

Title made with the sticker letters in the June Kit.

Rest of the title: Chum is how my mother-in-law is affectionately referred to as by all the little grandkids! :-)

Here is how it looks all opened up. When I get home, I plan on adding stickles and other embellishments to spruce it up a bit!

Hope you enjoyed looking at this project today! Stop back soon!

I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the front of the ca

If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to go back to the beginning at Creations With Kathryn . She is our wonderful host for this hop! On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX. What is more telling of Spring than flowers?! I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack. (I think this stack was from last year or maybe even the year before! :-) I'm just finally using it! ) The paper flowers throughout are from the 3 Birds Pretty Petals collection.

My Pink Stamper Challenge

My Pink Stamper has posted a challenge today to any and all who would like a shot at being on her design team! My project needed to use a favorite Cricut cartridge and the colors: pink, green and brown and another color of my choice. I used my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge and my Imagine with the Mr. Frosty pattern cartridge and Snapshot Everyday cartridges. I am going to frame this project so I can always look at my sweet little, brand-new grandson!! The mat behind this adorable picture was printed and cut on my Imagine from the standard shapes on the Imagine and the Mr. Frosty cartridge. I really like this snowflake pattern! This is a close-up of the tree and layers from page 60 of my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons Cricut cartridge and was cut at 3.5"H. I used Star Dust Stickles to make the "snow" on the tree look like it was glistening! Notice the "wood" paper for the tree trunk - this is a texture pattern on the Snapshot Everyday Imagine
