Happiness

The theme at House Of Paper this week is Happiness is...

Here is my take on this weeks assignment.

My first project is a birthday card. I LOVE the Echo Park papers. This one is Sweet Summertime. Its bright and happy all by itself. The stamp is one I got on clearance at Michaels.

This layout is things that make me happy...I couldve added more, but ya know. I used Echo Park paper on this one too...this line is called Walk in the Park.

Become a fan of House of Paper on facebook and find out about sales, giveaways, and contests. There is a contest this week to make a happiness is and link it to them to be entered in a drawing for a prize. Also, the blog is updated every week and sometimes more often...be sure to check it out. Its different than the weekly DT uploads.

Sketch

Over at House of Paper we are using a sketch I made for our uploads.

Here is the sketch.

This first layout was made using Fancy Pants Like Father Like Son papers

Then I made a card using the sketch. I used Echo Park Walk in the Park papers.

Be sure to stop by the HOP gallery to see the rest of the DT's take on the sketch!

Layout

This is one of the 5th grade teachers at our elementary school. All of my kids have had him. He's a strict teacher, but the kids all love him. Every year he makes a deal with the kids that he will eat a worm for each section of the end of year testing that the ENTIRE class can score at least 80% on. He had to eat one worm this year.


I used Pink Paislee 365 degrees paper. I paper pieced the worm. The lettering is American Crafts remarks

Summer layouts

The theme at HOP this week is Summer Layouts. Come check out what the rest of the DT did in the HOP gallery

This first layout is my youngest playing baseball. I used the Karen Foster Baseball kit papers.

This layout is my oldest at his summer job. I LOVE these Echo Park papers....so much fun!

I will be posting another layout soon.

Shaped Cards

It was my turn to post on the HOP blog this week. I decided to make some shaped cards and challenge others to do the same. Come play with us! Also check out the store...theres an awesome sale! (40% off your order through Tuesday 7/13 @ 4 pm est)

I used my Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge to get the shape of this card. The paper is Crate Paper Pink Plum collection. The stamp is Stampin Up.

This card is one I saw in a magazine, I think it was Paper Crafts. I thought it was so cute. I just used Bazzill cardstock for this one. Bought shoelaces at Walmart. The stamp is Stampin Up.

For this card I used a paper piecing pattern by Windows of Time. I used Crate Paper Brook collection.

Trek gift

This is what I took around to all my "trek kids". There are Reisens chocolate candies in the cart. Inside the card it says: You are the "Reisen" trek was so much fun. To make the cart, I just made a box. The wheels are cut from my accent essentials cricut cartridge. The thank you stamp is from the set I won from Pagemaps card contest!

New Layouts

These are the layouts I made for this weeks assignment over at House of Paper. The theme this week was Beginnings / Endings / Journeys. I used Bella Blvd. Man of the House papers on both layouts.
This first layout is my son's 5th grade graduation. The lettering was made using my Base Camp Cricut cartridge. The stars were cut with my Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge.

This second layout is "busier" than I usually do, but I thought it would be fun for a change. This is one of my twins at the Breakfast of Champions. All the design elements are cut out of the papers. The lettering is cut using my Cricut Base Camp cartridge.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
