Do What You Love - Silhouette Cameo Deco!!!

I am finally getting around to sharing my decorated Silhouette Cameo!!!  I just love it.

I was teaching a Silhouette workshop using vinyl and I decided that decorating our Cameo was a good way for everyone to get some hands on experience.  This is what I came up with!!!

I picked a quote from the Silhouette online store.  I tried to select something inspiring and motivating.

In the workshop I wanted to demonstrate how to layer different colours so I chose to add these adorable butterflies to my design.

My final detail was to add a heart next to the Cameo logo.....because I really LOVE my Silhouette.

It looks great sitting in my craft room and brings a smile to my face everytime I see it. Thanks for visiting!!!

Weekend Photos!

What a great weekend!!  We are finally getting some decent weather.

Monty and I spent some time out in the backyard working on the gardens.  We didn't really have time for much last summer, as we were just moving in.  There were quite a few plants that we didn't like, so we pulled them out and cleaned everything up a bit.

I did manage to snap a few pictures while we were working.

On Sunday we spent some time with both my mom and hubby's family too.  I made sure to get some photos with my kids.  I am such a proud mom!!

This is my favourite one.  Look at those smiles.  Love these guys.

We also made sure to get a photo of these two.  Kevin and Amanda make such a cute couple.

It was a great weekend all around.

Mother's Day Card!!

I took a little break from my regular scrapbooking to make a couple of cards for Mother's Day.  I saw this new set of cut files from SVG Cuts and I just had to try them out.  My favourite is the basket of strawberries and I thoug it would be perfect for a Mother's Day card.

I used my Silhouette and sketch pens to create the sentiment, then I added a button and some twine.  I embossed the strawberries with my Cuttlebug and then sanded the dots to expose the core colour of the paper.  I used some enamel dots for the centers of my flowers and added a ribbon too.

There are a few other versions of these cards and I think I will be trying them out too.  

Thanks for visiting.

Remember This!!

I have been trying to do some of the NSD challenges over at Two Scrapbook Friends, and I managed to complete another one last night.

This time I played along with Amanda's challenge to use splatter.  I created another pocket page (just a small one this time, cause I only had a couple photos to work with) and I used splatter on the background.

To make the camera, I used a template and traced the pieces out and then hand cut them.  I used some foam adhesive to pop some of the pieces up, which created some awesome dimension.  The 'remember this' was cut out on my Silhouette.

Thanks to Amanda for a great challenge.  I am off to link it up over on the Gallery!!

Revenge of the Mummy!!

I have been hard at work on Jay's album again. I just love putting layouts together for this trip.  I have been focusing on some of the pocket page layouts and I thought I would switch it up and work on a single page.

Here is my latest creation.  It is for one of the Two Scrapbook Friends NSD challenges.  I did this layout for Jayne's 'Cut it Out' challenge.

I had a lot of fun playing with my Silhouette (using the latest update) and made up these film reels, photo strips and viewfinder icons.

These photos were taken just after we exited the Revenge of the Mummy ride (which I hated).  This creepy guy kept following us around.

I added in some stickers that I had from an old Simple Stories collection (Awesome).

I mixed some alpha stickers with some chipboard Thickers for my title.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest creation.  Visit again soon :)
