8x8s Featuring Fancy Pants +

Here are a couple of 8x8 layouts:

Baby Shower:

I started with some gorgeous Fancy Pants paper from the 50 piece Grab Bag as the background and extra piece of green behind my photo, I then stitched down a large photo leaving the top unstitched to act as a pocket for some smaller photos.. This is a GREAT way to include TONS of photos without cluttering up a layout.


I used some things I just had laying around; EP sticker, random satin ribbon I dyed myself, black pen, bingo card, and a 7gypsies punch. I'm a total distress freak so I of course used the Distress Inks by TH, and I LOOOOOVE the Art Blanche chipboard letters! They're large, white and easy to make your own! I also have to tell you, these gals have such a fantastic deal on these EK Adhesive dispensers that I haven't used any other kind in MONTHS. lol.

Nesting:

I again used some of that awesome Fancy Pants paper, distress ink and I used a Cosmo Cricket Rubon.


Other products used: don juan cricut cartridge, corrugated cardboard, raffia, fiber, lace, vintage paper measuring tape, ball point pen, martha stewart butterfly punch, old book, nest image and swallow chipboard piece. And I'm seriously telling you.. check out the great deals they have on all of their adhesives (as well as EVERYTHING else they have for sale!)

Comparable to Tim's 12 Tag of Christmas!

Cosmo Cricket!!

@ BigScrapDeal.com we can't get enough of that Double Deck paper pack by Cosmo Cricket.. so here again are some GORGEOUS projects featuring the two paper lines included in the double deck; "Earth Love" and "The Boyfriend"

First is a 2 page layout by owner, Michelle - she started with 2 pieces of black card stock from the Kit of the Month - then she took pieces from both lines of the Double Deck and cut them into squares and placed on her paper adhering with her favorite glue. She used the papers and one of her favorite Cricut Cartridges to cut out some gorgeous birds, which she adorned with blingy adhesives rhinestones from K&CO.


And then HERE is a banner I made for my soon to be lil guy! These colors are so vintage and fun together!! I used the same Cardstock from the Club of the Month by Bazzill - and the double deck for the gorgeous colors and patterns:

Delight by FP

Silly Girl by Dawn

If you didn't get enough of that awesome Cosmo Cricket double deck "Earth Love" and "The Boyfriend" here is a fantastic layout Dawn did with it.. she says "Wow! The more I use this paper the more I love it! I was unsure at first but pull the sheets out and mix and match, no matter how you put them together they go!!!"

Silly Girl:

She started with a piece of chocolate cardstock from the Kit of the Month, used that Double Deck, and embellished with a few things including Alpha Mishmash by Crate Paper, and a fold over tab from the 7gypsies Sticker Book Set.

Pull that cute little 7 gypsies tab and the layout folds down to reveal a bunch more info and some gorgeous photos!!!

By Heather!!

Be Happy:

This page uses the Delight Kit by FP, some chipboard Heather had lying around, a bit of Bazzill black cardstock, diamond glaze, glitter glue, and UTEE.



First Kiss:

This page has so much creativity going on, it's FANTASTIC!! She started with the Life Is Good collection by EP, and embellished with a Tim Holtz mask, Glimmer Mist, and Distress Ink. She also used the ink and mists on her flowers which were cut on her cricut.
