a Cutie!”, by Jennifer Chapin.

Date isn't just for outdoor pictures! I had this photo of my son playing in his
bouncer and the bright colors complimented this line perfectly. I also used one
of the Daily Details cards for my title and added a bit of stitching. Lately I
can't get enough of the crochet hearts and find myself putting them on just
about every page as well!

"Today's Awesomeness", by Stephanie Smokovich.
This two page layout is all about
flow. I wanted to horizontal line-design to make your eye look across to the
right-side of the layout with the opposite, more vertical design. I took these
family photos of my sister and her kids last fall and the colors were just
perfect for my new Play Date collection. I used some Designer Tape as a
layering base underneath the “family time” sticker title. I was also able to
incorporate the “family photo” office tab from the Christmas Countdown Paper
Pieces kit. Keep your eyes pealed because those die-cuts have a lot to offer
across several different collections! Finally, I played a bit with the photos
on the right page, printing duplicates: one in full color and one in black and
white and then used a checkerboard style for their placement, and separated
them with columns of Designer Tape which I mounted to white cardstock.

“Sweet Girl”, by Tiffany Hood.
This layout was inspired by the darling
little rainbows on the new Play Date collection cardstock and stickers. I
angled the layout and arched the paper ribbon just like a rainbow, and then
added lots of dimension with stickers, cardstock elements, everday bits arrows,
and crochet hearts and finished the layout off with some machine stitching.

"We Belong Together" card, by
Becky Williams.
I really liked this turquoise card from the Play Date collection. I cut it down
to about 3x4 inch size and added the mix of alpha stickers to create the
sentiment on the card front. The background for the card was created with a mix
of Designer Tapes.

“Life
Is Sweeter” card, by Brook Stewart.
When
it comes to cards, simple and quick is my preference! The Daily Details sheets
make that super simple with the fun sayings! Perfect for cards and layouts
alike! I added some foam tape to the bottom of the saying, red stickles to the
red lettering and strawberries and tied it with some twine and viola! Simple
card, made in minutes!

Rainbow card, by Stephanie Smokovich.
I often find myself wanting to
send someone just a little bit of sunshine to brighten their day. Really, a card
for no specific reason but for the purpose of “happy mail.” Using the rule of
threes as my centerpiece, I also popped up the rainbow (I simply circle punched
that from the patterned paper). It’s quick and easy…and will make someone smile.
Supplies:
Play Date: Chasing Rainbows, Alpha+Bits; Daily Chevies: Chevy Bell Pepper; Designer
Tapes: Red Dot; Button Market: Red Flowers
“Life
Is Sweeter” card, by Sheri Feypel.
The
inspiration for this card came from the title. I chose that first, then chose
pattern paper with colors that matched the colors in the title. I trimmed down
a feather and tucked it behind the title card.
