Baby Boy Banner

Hello! Last week, I got to celebrate my daughter who is having a baby boy this June.  Family and friends gathered to wish the soon-to-be mama and new baby well.  I made a cute baby banner for the decor.

Here is the banner displayed.

I made 4 custom pieces on double sided cardstock, and I used 3 cards from Lori’s Special Delivery: Baby Boy Collection.

For the custom pieces I used these files:

Baby Banner (SVG, Silhouette)

Bodysuit and bear from the Baby Card Dresser (SVG, Silhouette)

Pacifier from Baby Sheep Card (SVG, Silhouette)

Bottle from Twist Pop Card Baby (SVG, Silhouette)

 

You can choose a few of your favorite baby projects and create your own custom baby banner. Thanks for checking out this project.

Onesie Mini Album

Hi everyone! Back in February 2024, I got a call about a very special little girl coming home from Thailand. She was born at just 26 weeks, and now—over a year later—she’s finally home in South Dakota for the first time. She needed some help to make the trip, and with lots of effort and phone calls, we made it happen.

Now, that little miracle is home, doing well, and she just turned one at the end of March! I had the joy of meeting her, and she completely stole my heart. I made this mini album just for her.

You can find the file here in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store. I used Lori’s Echo Park Birthday Girl Collection. I had so much fun creating this for this little princess. She truly is a miracle, and I hope her parents know how much she has touched my heart and how much I loved being a part of her journey home.

Happy Birthday!

Summer Layout Tutorial

Hello! We got the dreamiest paper in the mail last week and I couldn’t wait to create with it.  Echo Park’s Have A Great Summer designed by Lori Whitlock has all the best colors and papers. It made me think of how fun this layout would be with these papers.

First I decided on papers and made my cuts. (*If you are making this on cricut, check your sizes, my scallop page cut 7×7 so I had to adjust.)

I went ahead and inked all my little pieces

And then I added letters to the banner pieces.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is it’s never a bad things to flip the paper over. I had originally thought I wanted to use the pink side of the solid paper, but it just wasn’t as summery so I flipped it and used the yellow. I love that I did. So bright and fun.

I added my photo and took a few liberties with positioning the other elements. I made sure my sun was over my clouds so it wouldn’t blend into the background and popped the photo corner up on the outside of the photo.

My banner I wanted on a string so I added my bakers twine and then popped the banners up over top of the bakers twine.

Finished off the layout with some chipboard and stickers from the Have A Great Summer line and a few enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

5×5 Bug Book Album

Hi everyone!  I have a fun mini album to share with you created with Lori’s new Echo Park collection, Little Things Mean A Lot.  It’s a fun collection, full of bright colors and lots of attention to detail with fun little critters.  I thought it would be perfect to create a mini for a little guy that I know that will love to catch some bugs for the summer and his mama can add some pictures as they go.

I cut one cover, and then I cut four pieces to cover the inside and the outside of the cover.  Three base pages and then 12 squares to cover those and one spine cover.  You also need some twine or thread along with adhesive.

Here is all my pieces cut…lots and lot.  Then my inside pages put together.  Ink all the edges.  The bottom left corner is your cover pieces and the bottom right is just a bunch or borders of Lori’s that I cut to add to my pages for fun and detail.
Top right you can see the inside of my inside pages, top left is the inside of my cover and the bottom picture is the outside of the cover.
Next, just line up the holes of your three inside pages with the holes on the cover and tie them in with twine or string.  How cute it that spine on the cover!!!??!!

Then you get to just go to town embellishing and creating with the amazing collection.  I had so much fun.  I used enamel dots, ribbon, stickers, buttons and just had the best time creating this.  I know he and his mama will love it.  And how cute is that little bug catcher!?

You can find the album here in Lori’s Store or here in the Silhouette Store.

I hope you will give one of these mini’s a try!
