Hi friends, today we are showing how to make any image a "nesting" image.  You don't even need a Spellbinders of Sizzix die cut frame to do it! Here is my example... As you can see, I nested my hearts, cut from the Sweethearts cartridge and cut at 5, 4.5 and 4". To finish my card, I used Create a Critter for the Love Bug sentiment, cut at 3".  I also used Create a Critter 2 for my cut little bug, she was cut at 2".  The individual hearts are left over cuts that I used, I guess you would call them the negatives. Hope you like it! Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

Hi friends, Happy Monday!  Today we are looking at some Child Theme cartridges.  By no means are they just for children, however, the images make it so easy for layouts, cards and projects for the kiddos.

With the first layout, I used A Child's Year and Plantin Schoolbook ... A Child's Year: Happy Birthdays cut at 4" Plantin Schoolbook: shift 3"  I love the silhouette look on this cartridge. A Child's Year: Birthday 1 image cut at 3.5" A Child's Year: Birthday 1 cut at 3.5" The next layout, I used the new cartridges: The First Few Years and When I was a Kid...

Hosted by Craftin Desert Diva's: This linky party is  Show me your craft space/room! So here is my craft space.... Yep, it is in my dining room. Only have about 15 years when I can kick the girls out and take over their room, lol. When we have company or parties, I put a tablecloth on the table and all the items on top get taken to the laundry room with hubby's help.  Here is the other corner, it is all my paper. I am in the middle of a couple blog projects right now so it is a little messy.  And here is the table...  What can I say, I'm keeping it real here, lol.  I take one end and the kiddos have the other.  They like to color when I am scrapping, and my girls help a lot with projects. I am waiting on a scrapbook cupboard.  I should have it by the weekend so I will update this post and show you the new space look then. Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,
