Lisa’s Handmade Cards

This is a picture of my daughter Mallory taken back in June. We are waiting to go into the Bugs Life 3D movie at Disneyland/California Adventure (she hated it, we had to get up and leave). I just couldn’t resist this paper by American Crafts, the Backyard Twitter collection. I even paid full price for it- not something I do often. I usually wait for a sale when buying scrapbooking paper. Anyway, I used George for the letters. The flowers and the bug are stickers. The punch is by Martha Stewart, it’s called doily lace. The blue mat is embossed with swiss dots though it is hard to tell in the pics.  I very simple layout.

My daughter turns two in two weeks. These are the invitations for her party. I used the Mickey Font Cartridge for the “M” and the Mickey head. The pictures were taken by our dear friend Tiffany. The invitations information is on a trifold. They all fit in the pocket (Mickey’s pants).

My plan was for the invitations to be a pull tag but the info would have been too small. So, I made a pull tag with another pocket Mickey Mouse for a scrapbook layout. I used the adorable Mickey head eyelets that I bought on our last trip to Disneyland and bought the polka dot ribbon at Robert’s. It was actually hard to find the large white buttons too. I bought them in the sewing section at Wal-mart.

If you are looking for more Mickey/Disney birthday party ideas, stay tuned. I’ll be posting more in two weeks.

I’m not a real dog fan but this puppy makes me wish I was. He’s a picture hugger / photo topper for a scrapbook layout. I’ve heard them called both and I’m not sure which name is correct. He’s made with a lot of layers. The lightest brown always photographs a little pink but rest assured it’s not.

My mom, sister, and I bought these door hangers a few months ago at the Provo Craft Outlet. It cost a whopping $1.75 for the sign. The sign is totally me (it’s covered is glitter) but it was too plain for my taste. I added some ribbon to the wire hanger and twa-la, it’s fabulous. It snowed a few days ago when I made it so I didn’t want to hang it outside. I can’t wait until nice weather!

I plan on making scrapbook pages out of these but I have a lot I am planning on doing right now so who knows when I’ll get it done. I thought I’d post them now and then by the time I do layouts maybe they’ll have been forgotten. The bunny is a picture hugger (or photo topper, whatever you want to call it). The kangaroo I think will make a good “mama & me” layout. They turned out fab. The picture don’t do them justice.
