Countdown to Baby - Maternity Photo Props

My friend is having her maternity photos taken this weekend.  She wanted a few things for the photo shoot and asked me if I could make them.  So I did.

The tag is from the Silhouette store.  They are called "tags" and are by Michelle Renee (#43062).  I just added a second layer, by re-sizing the inner layer.  The tag is about 6" tall.  The sentiment on the tag is from the "Birthday Cakes" Cricut cartridge.  Most of the sentiment is 0.9" tall, but "April 1" is 1" tall.  The "st" is about 1/2" tall.  I added them to the tag, then covered "April 1st" with midnight blue Stickles.

The sign is 8 1/2"x11."  The shimmery coral layer is 8 1/4"x10 3/4" and the white layer is 8"x10 1/2."  I cut both the coral and white layers in the Silhouette, using a font from the computer.  I then layered the mats on the navy blue card stock so that negative parts of the cuts would show the navy blue and show the sentiment.

Flaunt It Fridays Challenge #22

It is time for challenge #22 at Flaunt It Fridays! This week the challenge is to use the castle cut from Wrap It Up. I don't own this cartridge so I used one of the castles from Birthday Cakes.

I recently found some of my old photo albums and decided to start putting them into scrapbooks instead. This layout was created for my trip to Sweden, in between my junior and senior year in high school. The layout is 12"x12" and for the background cardstock I used a sheet from the Once Upon a Time Stack by DCWV. I cut two castles from Birthday Cakes at 4" and flipped one of them. The three largest photos are 3 1/2"x5" and the smaller one is 4"x4." I matted the group shot with the same color cardstock as the castles and also created a journaling space from those cardstocks. It is pretty simple, but I have quite a few photos from this trip so I think they will all be pretty simple, but I do like how it turned out. :) Enjoy!Now it is your turn to flaunt the castle from Wrap It Up. If you don't have this cartridge, then find a castle from another one and flaunt away! Head on over to Flaunt It Fridays and enter your project for a chance to win the grand prize, which is sponsered by scrapbuck.com! I can't wait to see what you come up with!!
