Action Wobble Birthday Star Tag

 

To go along with my daughter's classmate's birthday present I created a tag instead of a card. I wanted to see how an action wobble works on a tag. My plan was to wrap a gift and attached the tag to the gift wrap. I hand cut the tag (unevenly as you can see) from DCWV glitter cardstock. I love it because the glitter stays in the cardstock and doesn't get all over the place like with other brands. Then I cut the star flourish image from Cricut Cartridge Life's a Party at 3.25" in size. The star has 4 layers and my daughter picked them all from my scraps. The image came out long but not that wide so I punched a 1" circle in blue to hide the action wobble spring.

 

 

 

The alpha stickers are from EL Success Sticko. I love their size and style. Unfornately, I couldn't get a good action shot but here's the proof that the action wobble is attached! The birthday girl loved it and even guessed that the gift had something to do with art! She loves art projects. So it was a big hit! Hope I get caught wobblin' but the Action Wobbles folks. I love to win prizes!!!

Instant Scrapbook Baby Boy - Cover and Page 1

It's been quite a while, but let's just say life and clients got in the way! I'm delighted to be back and to share a project I created for a baby shower gift. A friend of mine wanted to give her sister-in-law a very personal, yet useful gift for her second child. What do you give to the person who already has all the big baby stuff? That's right...an instant scrapbook so that she can easily record her new baby's first year.

This was quite an undertaking because I had never created a scrapbook without pictures before and was very nervous about creating pages that forced someone to use pictures of a certain size etc. But I quickly got over it and created a product that I am very proud of. And it was very well received by the mother-to-be so mission accomplished!

The album is by Recollections. It's a boy is printed on Bazzill basics white cardstock and cut at 10" with my Cricut Imagine Nursery Tails cart. The font stickers are from my stash and the foot and hand prints are from Stickopotomus. Finally, the blue button stickers (that remind me of that candy that came stuck to paper strips when I was a kid) is from Clear & Simple Stamps in the color called Your style blue me away.

I wanted the first page to showcase the family the baby was being born into. I pulled out the autumn leaves 6-min scrapbooker family set I purchased from Wal-Mart some time ago and found the perfect coordinated items, such as a journaling block, ribbon, embellishments, etc. for this page. DCWV adhesive mat stacks are the best for quick placement of pictures.
