Toadally Cute Layout

I usuall do two page spreads, but I'm hoarding my old CM albums and don't want to fill them up too quickly.  I'm hoping before I use them up, someone will come out with a good substitute.  And sometimes, the pictures I have are better suited to one page.  That was the case here.

My mother in law came over and without a pattern, in no time at all, whipped up these cute little aprons.  The fabric is pink with leaping frogs.  The girls loved them!  The background paper came from Stampin Up.  I'm not sure what font I used to spell out "Toadally Cute."

 

 

The frog came from Create a Critter. His lily pad was on there, too.  The cat tails came off Art Nouveau and I just trimmed them up to fit.    It's hard to tell in the picture but the frog was run through the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder.

 

The cattails were accented with suede paper so they are as soft and velvety as the real thing!





Cuttlebug Embossed Cuts

I love the look of embellished cricut cuts.  I often add extra layers for dimension, or use jewels for eyes or buttons.  I like the look of cuts accented with ink or chalk.  But my favorite is running parts of them through the cuttlebug.  It makes a huge difference!



 

This cutie came of the Create a Critter cart.  His top layer was embossed using the snake print cuttlebug folder.  Isn't he cute?

 

 

This football corner came from All Sports (or maybe Total Sports??) and was run through the Dots folder.  Everyone who looks at this page has to touch it!

 

 

This adorable Snow Angel came from the Snow Day cart, which I actually bought for just this cut (I have used a few off the cart but it was this cut that sold me!).  I put her scarf through the houndstooth folder for a little texture.

 

So those are just a few examples of cuts accented with the cuttlebug and what a difference a little texture makes.
