My Scrapbooking Blog

Well, it was back to scrapbooking today.  This picture was taken at Ariel’s Grotto in Disneyland last month.  We all had a great time.  It is spendy but I would recommend it. Different princesses come to each table to chat, sign autographs, and take pictures.  The food was quite good as well.  Our favorite was probably the dessert.  I enjoyed the healthy choices and fresh produce (sure beats $6 hotdogs!).  Definately get priority seating.

For this layout I used the sketch below as a guide.  The 3D stickers were added on top of other images on the paper to add more dimension.  I don’t know how to explain these Disney stickers by EK Success but you can see that they don’t photograph well due to their shine.  I found them in the clearance section today at Target!  I figured this would be a good way to use a bunch of my flowers – I love them and just can’t get enough!  Good thing I have girls!  My first choice for the centers would have been brads but this was also a way to use up some of the many eyelets that I’ve been collecting.

Products used: Iced Got Flowers by Prima, eyelets from my stash, Making Memories vellum tag, pink rubon letters Lulu font by American Crafts, 3D stickers by EK Success, unknown Disney paper and adhesive felt ribbon.

Challenge: from Scrapper’s Block Challenge #7.

Paper and embellishment by EK Success.

The cutterpede by EK Success cuts up to 13″ x 15″ when the arm folds out to full extension.  The arm can also be folded in half for easy 6″ cuts and easy 2″ cuts can be made when the arm is folded in.  The cutterpede gives clean, straight cuts.  The blade can be replace and is long-lasting.  Although the cutting mat needs to be replaced fairly often it is inexpensive because it can be rotated and used 4 different ways and the mats are purchased in 2-packs.  I would not recommend using this cutter regularly for photos or heavyweight paper because it wears down the mats too fast.  This was my favorite cutter for a long time because of the clean, straight cutting and because it does not take up much room on my desk.  The arm does not match the cutter because it broke and when I requested a replacement, this is the one that was sent.  I originally purchased a pink Cutterpede from my LSS and it was damaged.  They would not replace it because it came as a package and they didn’t want to send everything back and would only replace the cutter but did not have pink except the ones in the package set.  Bummer for me because that was one of the reasons I bought it (I loved the pink).  So in the end it’s kind of funny that I ended up with a pink arm.

I made my own 3D embellishments by layering flowers and chipboard, then added a gem on top for a bit of bling.  Simple, yet beautiful!
