Calorie FREE Cake

Don't ya just love a piece of calorie free cake... What??? 

Yes sir re.... Paper cake no calories here, well all depends what you put in it.

I wanted to make a special little something for a co-worker for her Birthday.

I used a few files from Designs on Cloud 9 and a stamp from Joys Life

Sorry I can't remember where I found the cake slice or the ric rac file, but the flourish, roses and the label are all from Designs on Cloud 9...

Fancy Flourishes pattern set

Curly Flowers pattern set

Laurie's Labels pattern set

Love you to the Moon!

Hi, I just wanted to share a layout I did of my two LOVES!

When I tell my little one that I love him, he always tells me "I Love you more"

so I have to top that and I say "I Love you to the Moon and back"  so when Michelle created this patten I had to have it and I had an adorable picture in mind for it.  

I just love this photo of the two of them... this is a for sure Kodak moment, because it doesn't happen all that often when they are cute and cuddly together.

I used "sMOOches" for the title and the cow hanging on the moon and "Laurie's Labels" for the label that I stamped on from Designsoncloud9.com

The stamps are from Joyslife.com "All around Sentiments" and "Everyday Occasions" stamps sets

Now I don't know if anyone noticed, but the saying on the photo is not correct.  

Here I was all proud that I made a great saying out of Joys stamps. 

(don't get me wrong it's not the stamps fault)

  After putting it all together I went to bed and suddenly woke in the middle of the night thinking "OMGosh it's not YOUR it's YOU'RE my everything..... LOL!!  

Oh well, that is what makes scrapping great right!  The little mistakes that add to the charm to the layout. 

Thanks for visiting!

Joy's Life Blog Hop with the ANIMALS 3D and CARD FOLDS

Hi there! If you happened on this post by accident, then hop on over to Joys blog to start for some great inspiration. If you came from Debbie's blog then you are on the right track.

Now onto my project...
I went with a card fold for this hop.
I needed to make a card for a co-worker and wanted to make something with room for several places for everyone to sign so I tried out a z-fold with an inner hinge card for room for more signatures.
I used a slider to keep the card closed.

The adorable bear image is a .png from Designs on Cloud 9's "Soda-lightful" pattern set

this stamp fit so perfectly with DC9's pattern set!

Valentine Heart bag

Happy Friday!!!

Just wanted to share a cute little Valentine's Gift bag.

I used several pattern sets from Designs on Cloud 9

I think I am going to stuff it with some truffles ~ Mmmmmm!
The box is really good size too, you can probably get an entire larger size bag of Lindt truffles in it :)

I used "Heart Shaped Boxes" "Scalloped Shapes" "Sara's Swirls" and "Curly Flowers" pattern sets
