Graphic 45

We have these beautiful new papers in from a company that is new to Scrapadoodle. Beautiful images--these would be perfect for those heritage pages you've been meaning to do.

Teacher gift idea

From the talented Ms. Christy comes this really cute school mini-album. Perfect for end of the year teacher gift or maybe just as a remembrance of the school year for your child. She started with this "naked" Maya Road chipboard book and then just added paper and fun embellishments.

Seriously.......

one of the cutest layouts I've stumbled across on the web in a long time :-) Just had to share with you!

Clothespins

From Creative Imaginations comes clothespins you can alter. Decorate them and then use them as a place to clip pictures or notes--looks really cute on your desk.

Or here's a wonderful idea--use them as placecards!

Grunge Paper is Here!!

Yes, we finally have it in.....the long awaited grungepaper from Tim Holtz. So many cool things you can do with this. Wendy had this cute little example on her blog--see how the wing is curled? It's cut out of grungepaper, inked, and then curled up. The amazing part is that it stays that way! You can ink it, paint it, even sew on it--the stuff is indestructible!

Cricut Easter Basket

How's this for an adorable Easter Basket? The base is a simple Chinese take out box and the rest was created with a Cricut--read below for her how-to's:Here are the dimensions if anyone wants to make the bunny basket,
I cut everything with George cartridge on the Cricut
Bunny- head 3 1/2 circle
inner ear-5" oval (the one on the "e" key)
outer ear-5" oval shadow (the one on the "e" key)
nose-1" heart
feet-2" ovals (the one on the "w" key)
Whiskers-3-4" pieces of floss, knot in the center, adhere behind nose and then trim.
Tail (not pictured) 1 1/2" scallop circle-I used a punch for that add brads for eyes, pink ink around edges

For no reason at all.......

Sometimes, in my wanderings on the web, I see things that I just have to share with you guys. This is one of them. One of the funniest pages I've seen in a long time!! Seriously, look at her shirt! Perfectly captures a memory--and she will LOVE this when she's older......

Fancy Pants

New papers in from Fancy Pants--totally love this line called Kraft Kuts. This scallop paper is lined--perfect for journaling and who doesn't love scalloped edged papers?! Here's my favorite paper--the colors are much more vibrant in person but I can see tons of uses for these little houses:

Speaking of which--holy cow are these cards amazing or what??
