March Turtle Reveal

I'm a few days late sharing this, but here it is at last - my March DT reveal for the Scrapping Turtle!!

This month I had the pleasure of playing with the new Three Bugs in a Rug Animal Stackers paper line. This line is so cute :) The

papers are double sided, and there are cut outs, die cut shapes and stickers to go with the line.

My first layout is a single from Sammy's first birthday party. We had a Halloween theme and all of the children wore their Halloween costumes. The photos are of Sara and Sammy in their costumes. The border for the circle was created using the Quickutz Cupcake Liner (thanks to Mellissa for the idea).

We were lucky enough to visit the Strong Museum of Play in New York state last year. This double layout showcases the fun train that Sara and Sammy rode on at the museum. I used my Quickutz Cloud, Ladder and Fence dies on this layout.

This double layout commemorates Sammy's first tentative steps. I remember that day like it was just yesterday. What an exciting day it was!! The scalloped border was created using my Quickutz Scallop border die.

I also created two cards with this line. The elephant and the lion were created using Quickutz dies.

I hope you will visit the Scrapping Turtle forum Turtle Soup to see the wonderful creations made by my fellow Design Team members.

Man of the House

The initial idea for this layout came about from the "That's Entertainment" challenge for Summerfest at The Scrapping Nook. We were given the option of getting inspiration from the works of either of two of the entertainers who passed away last week. I selected Farrah Fawcett and a movie she was in called "Man of the House". I initially wanted to do "The Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars", but my toaster is definitely not brave nor has it ever been to Mars (I'm not even sure it has ever been out of Cambridge). So that is where the title came from.

The layout is based on a sketch by Allison Cope that was posted for Sketchy Saturday on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog. I love Ally's sketches!!!!! One of Tara's challenges on her blog was to use a sketch from the SCT blog. She also challenged us to use red, white and blue on a layout. So I made red, white and blue prominent colours on my layout.

The patterned paper is from Three Bugs In A Rug Playtime line. Letters are American Crafts Thickers. I punched out three different sizes of stars then layered them together.
