BAP 26 Build a Card

Toadally Un-Frogettable

Pin It

Time for another toadally awesome file from Creative Kuts. I have to admit this one was quite the challenge for me because there was so much inking on tiny little pieces. I have never made such a mess of my hands before!

The CK file I chose for this week's project is such a cute file for anything outdoors, camping, fishing or even just boys. It doesn't come with a title so you can name it whatever you'd like.

You can purchase Frog and Friends for just $8.00 at Creative Kuts.

 Page 2

And here are a few close ups of my froggy friends!!

Now I would like to mention I used stickers for my title and am not at all happy with them. So I cut out some new ones with my Cricut and will be posting an updated pic soon!

I hope that you have enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. I love receiving comments and new followers. It means so much to me! So please feel free to drop me a note and follow my blog for more inspiration, giveaways, and tips.

BAP 25 Wreath Bear

Pin It

Last week's Bap Creative Kuts asked us to use this adorable bear file and create a card with it. So here is what I did...

This bear was cut with an SVG file from Creative Kuts. Check out their site for tons of great files!

If you don't have a machine that can cut SVG files there are other formats available as well as patterns where you can them out by hand.

I hope that you have enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. I love receiving comments and new followers. It means so much to me! So please feel free to drop me a note and follow my blog for more inspiration, giveaways, and tips.

Family Fun Mini Album

Pin It

Can I say that Cheryl at Creative Kuts has some of the cutest mini albums ever. I totally forgot to post my Bap from 3 weeks ago. What is a BAP? It's a free file that you can request from CK every Monday. The only catch is you have to create it and upload it by Sunday.

These were cut with an SVG file that can be purchased at Creative Kuts!

If you don't have a machine that can cut SVG files there are other formats available as well as patterns where you can them out by hand.

 Lots of fireworks waiting to explode!! LOL!

 And of course a closeup of my cute little bears waiting to enjoy the celebration.

We hope you enjoy all of the great work this Design Team has done and find some summer inspiration. Happy Summer!

If you came from the fabulous Gaby then you are in the right spot!

Here is the first of my fun Summer Projects, Live to Swim. For this layout I used patterned paper I already had in my stash along with some diecuts (lifeguard chair and lifesaving ring) that I recieved in a die cut swap. Of course I used some goodies from Ginger Snap Scraps too!!

Supplies from Ginger Snap Scraps:

Red Bazzill and White Bazzill

Red Copic to color my Chipboard

Red Flowers by Bo Bunny

Yellow Sew Easy Floss

Note: I love to use Copics to color and alter my chipboard letters and elements. So much easier than pulling out the paint. And with so many colors to chose from the sky is the limit!!
