Girlfriend

by pialopez on March 26, 2009

My son already has a girlfriend? Well, that was what he told me : ) He saw this layout when I was almost done creating it and so I asked him what will be a good title (yeah, sometimes I ask for his opinions and more often than not, his ideas are better than mine hahaha!). Here’s what he said:

Ethan: Ethan’s best “ever” girlfriend”!

Me: (quite shocked) Girlfriend? But why girlfriend?

Ethan: ‘Coz she’s a “girl” mom!

Oh, ok I didn’t realize that at once : D

<br />

The photos were taken at my friend’s wedding where Ethan was the ring bearer and Ayna was the flower girl. They had an instant bond and they played all the time at the reception!

I used Daisy Bucket – Perfect Harmony and the colors were a perfect match for the photos! The border scallops were hand drawn and hand cut. I also cut the birds from Hadley paper, they’re too cute, right? I added these rub ons: caterpillar and bird from Sing (#9002).

Happy scrapping!

Spring Fever!!

by Heidi Smith on March 22, 2009

Do you have it yet?? I sure do and I sit here expecting yet another round of snow in the next 24 hours…sighhhh.   Until I can get outside and start digging in the garden I thought I’d share one of my favorite layouts from CHA09. I used Perfect Harmony which was recently featured in Creating Keepsakes “Latest and Greatest”  (pg 36).  Check it out at your LSS.

bff alert!

by tami sanders on March 18, 2009

the LOVES ME LOVES ME NOT line isn’t just for Valentine’s day… the colors are bright and fun, and perfect for lots of  other themes like “girlie-girl”, spring or summer layouts!

i used it in this layout of 2 adorable little girls in my son’s first grade class; my son chris – who is 6 took the pic btw!

<p></p>

 

 i layered strips of printed paper with cardstock on a dark brown background. the strip against the left edge was handcut from printed paper – i just cut around the flowers on the right side. a piece of VINEYARD paper ribbon separates it from the pink polka dot paper. i used a vintage red paper doily to back my little friends – which are made of chipboard. i painted them, then ”dressed” them with chalk ink, stamps and white gel pen. i tied little pieces of paper ribbon to fill the holes in their heads – couldn’t have that! i added a few paper flowers with vintage button centers, and glittered chipboard letters for my title. the simple journaling at the bottom was done with a white gel pen.

Sisterly Love

by Melanie Blackburn on March 15, 2009

I created this layout of my girls using the Merry Wishes paper collection. This collection is so versatile that it can be used on non-Christmas layouts. I’ve also used the Daisy Bucket Label stamp which I’ve stamped and then cut half. I added one half to the bottom of my page to which I put the date and extra details.

<br />

I challenge you to think outside the box and used theme papers on a non- themed layout!

Happy Scrapping!

Posh Posies!!

by Amanda Boyles on March 3, 2009

Want something bright to scrapbook with?? What about something fun and funky?? Well you can find all of that and more in one of the newest lines from Daisy Bucket Designs called Posh Posies…I think my most favorite part of the entire line is the fact that the colors are so new and fresh and not like anything I’ve ever used before…Check it out:

I am loving this color combo right now…So much fun!! I also used some of the ribbon elements (color-key lime) that Daisy Buckets makes up in the right hand corner…it matched perfectly!! Have you used this line yet?? If so show us!! We would love to see your work!!

valentine’s day projects…

by tami sanders on February 14, 2009

daisy bucket has wonderful Valentine’s lines! last year it was Love You, and this year they have Loves Me Loves Me Not! the color combinations are so fresh and fun! and they aren’t just for Valentine’s day or love themed layouts or projects either, they are perfect for Spring and Girly projects too!

Here’s a project i did using the Love You line and cork coasters from the dollar store…

i just covered the coasters using printed papers, then added flowers, rhinestones, quotes and stamped accents. i put the coasters together using book rings, then hung them from a purse handle…

and here are some cards i made using the new LOVES ME LOVES ME NOT line…

 

<br />

<br />

  i used the new CARD ELEMENTS as a base for this one…

<br />

<br />

<br />

and — if valentine’s day wasn’t all that “lovely”, Daisy Bucket even has BREAK UP PAPER! i think this particular paper is VERY clever! one side is covered in “love” words and phrases, while the other side features quite the opposite! i couldn’t resist making a cars using it – complete with the “text” phrase – CUL8R (see you later!)…

<br />

hope you had a GREAT Valentine’s Day and ate LOTS of chocolate!

Sweet Choco Treats

by pialopez on February 14, 2009

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Here’s something I made for Ethan’s teachers and classmates. It’s pretty simple and doesn’t require so much techniques. I just bought chocolate bars in 2 two sizes. I then removed the chocolate wrapper and used it as a pattern. I used mostly scraps in this project.

<br />

Ethan loved the idea of distributing the chocolates to his classmates and teachers. He got overly excited that he just gave the chocolates away, not knowing if it really belongs to them (he can’t read the names yet ; )!

<p></p>

Here are chocolates for the girls.

I used Loves Me-Loves Me Not papers and stamps for this project. I can’t get enough of the stamps from Daisy Bucket, they’re petite and works well as journaling tags, gift tags or as embellishments. I’ve never been really a stamp person (the cleaning part is what I’m avoiding actually!) but Daisy Bucket has changed the way I look at stamps!

<br />

Here are the chocolates for the boys. I used a patterned paper with the blue color. Daisy Bucket’s Love You collection is perfect for the job!

I hope you enjoy your Valentine’s day, whether you spent it on a dinner date with your boyfriend or husband or a date with the kids too! Have fun!


Mixing Paper Collections

by Melanie Blackburn on February 12, 2009
I created this layout and combined two of my favorite Daisy Bucket paper Collections, Merry Wishes and Loves Me-Loves Me Not. Both lines work very well together. The green paper is from the Merry Wishes collection and the remaining paper is from the Loves Me Collection. Even though the Loves Me Collection is mostly love oriented I was still able to use it to create this layout of my girls and how my oldest shares her passion for books with her younger sister. Mixing paper Collections is a great way to maximize the use of your pattern paper. We would love to see how you mix the Daisy Bucket Collections, make sure to leave a comment with a link to your work.

Happy creating!

I fell in love …

by pialopez on February 11, 2009

… with the new Daisy Bucket Loves Me- Loves Me Not line! I love the combination of fuschia pink, orange, brown with a dash of apple green. I didn’t know these colors will match perfectly! Nothing goes into waste too since the new DBD papers including the bottom strip could also be used. I actually love those strips of papers that I remember cutting them first : )

I was inspired by Pieces of my Heart paper so I tried color blocking (this is one technique I’m not at all comfortable with because I’m bad in making exact measurements LOL!). But I love how these layouts turned out. I think I just need to practice some more.

<br />

The doodles on the photo were inspired by another paper, Scattered Love. The three photos are 4″ x 6″ in sizes and need no cropping.

<br />

Thanks for looking!
