“One Person” card, by Shellye
McDaniel.
This card first started out being simply yellow and black. Then
I went into town and saw a lady wearing a black and yellow dress accessorized
with a red pair of shoes and necklace. So, I came back and added the red
flower button and strip of red/white polka dot designer tape to the bottom ... perfect!
The sentiments found on the We Are Family Bookplates are fantastic for
cardmakers. The sentiment on this card has always been a favorite of mine.
Supplies:
Snapshots: Borders, Daily Details, Paper Pieces; Daily Chevies: Chevy Pickle
Juice, We Are Family Bookplates; Button Market: Red Flowers; Designer Tape: Red
Dot; Crochet Hearts: White
“Boo Whoo” card, by Shellye
McDaniel.
I couldn't pass up using a "boo whooo" sentiment to go along
with these cute owls from the Trick or Trick Collection! Short three or
four lettered words offer a great chance to use up those cool chipboard
alphabet stickers too. I cut a strip of owls from the Borders paper and
then added a row of similar borders below it using some Designer Tape and
cardstock sticker.
Supplies:
Trick or Treat: Happy Owlween, Alpha+Bits, Captions; Daily Chevies: Pickle
Juice Arrows; High Five Alpha Stickers: Black-White; Sienna Chipboard Alpha: Pickle

“Fair”,
by Kim Jeffress.
So I am
officially in love with the Snapshots collection. I have decided it’s my most
favorite ever collection from Bella Blvd! If you know me, my go to papers and
embellishments are always fun, bright and colorful and Snapshots fits this
criteria to a T. Just last week my family and I visited a Fair here in my
home town of Brisbane. My boys had a ball on the rides and I wanted to
document this fun day before I forgot it. I created my photo collage of my most
favorite photos in an online photo editing site called Picmonkey, printed
it off and then layered it over blocks of pattern paper from Snapshots. I
wanted to add in the photo frame from the Paper Pieces pack but also add some
fun shake-able elements inside it. I cut apart a plastic sleeve pocket (to just
larger than the frame middle) and stitched up three sides. I didn't want all my
sequins to fall to the bottom of the pocket so I used my clear glue
to adhere some of the sequins to the inside back of the pocket. Once
this was dry I added in some extra sequins which then fell to the bottom and
then stitched up the top. To complete I then adhered the pocket to the
back of the frame and then added foam tape to the back to add this to my
page!

“Let's Play”,
by Diane Payne.
Alyssa and her friend discovered that the Build-a-Bear clothes fit the dogs
perfectly and it quickly became a dress-up session. Poor Jack kept getting the
short stick and ended up being dressed rather girly more than once.
