New Queen and Company for Summer CHA 2013

I have had such a great time this past week playing with Queen and Co's new releases. Wendy has put together some really amazing collections of new Washi tape and Candy Shop embellishments! Here are the projects I made for her trade show booth:

These Christmas projects feature Queen and Co.'s new Christmas Washi tapes. 

I cut apart 6 of the Queen and Co.'s paper drinking straws for the border at the bottom. The journaling on this layout reads: “Many months before you were even born Claire, Grandma found this cute Santa dress for you. I couldn't wait to put it on you and take holiday photos! You wore this outfit for our traditional Christmas Eve festivities and you I thought you were the cutest little Santa?s helper ever! Christmas 2012”

Queen and Co.'s new Halloween Washi tapes are also super cute! I think this card turned out to be my favorite project of the bunch. I'm not sure if that is because I love Halloween and candy or because orange is my favorite color. Most likely some combination of the three. 

The candy corn embossing folder if one of my favorite Cuttlebug folders!

 The cute little ghost washi tape inspired me to put eyes on my washi tape banner. 

The journaling here reads: "For your first Halloween Claire you were the most adorable little witch! I got the idea to have you go as a witch from this hat I purchased many years ago when I was taking photos of newborns. Even through I stopped photographing newborns I held on to this hat just in case I ever needed it. And I am so glad that I did! It was a perfect fit for you and inspired the rest of your super cute ensemble. You certainly brought lots of smiles to many people in this outfit! –Halloween 2012”

Animal print Washi tapes are also being released! I had fun with the Zebra print tape here:

 And I used all the different animal prints along with my Cricut to cut out fun animals for this zoo layout. I used the cartridges Noah's ABC's (tiger), and Create a Critter (giraffe, gator) for the animals. 

The journaling reads: "We had so much fun visiting the Houston Zoo this spring! We have been many times before, but this time we got to see the new African Forest that they recently opened there! You boys thought that getting a better view of the elephants, giraffes, and rhinos was lots of fun; however, you all agreed that seeing the monkey pulling nectar out of the giant ant hill was the most fascinating part of the day! Spring 2011”

Meet Swampy

Spencer is a huge fan of the game "Where's My Water." So from the moment I first saw this Swampy costume in the store that he would love it. He most certainly did! I couldn't get it off of him!

The papers here are from the Pebbles Trick and Treats line--my favorite Halloween line of 2012--super cute! There is also a good amount of Queen and Company Washi Tape and a Cricut cut title (using the Brithday Bash Cartridge). 

The journaling reads: "Spencer, you love the iPad game “Where’s My Water?” so I knew you would love this Halloween costume when I saw it at the store. I was right! You got very excited when you saw it and had a great time being “Swampy” during all our October activities! --Halloween 2012"

Little Witch

Well I know it's not Halloween time, but I'm finally getting around to scrapbooking these photos from last fall. I just love Halloween and usually I scrapbook them really fast, but this year I had to wait for this super cute Tricks and Treats line from Pebbles to come back in stock. It was worth the wait!

I made the flowers from the decorative strips on the bottoms of the papers (I love that Pebbles, AC, Etc. papers have these) by cutting them into 4" strips and then folding them inward to the center and stacking them together. Basic Grey Buttons are in the middle of each.

The title was done with my Cricut and the font on the Baby Steps Cartridge--another one of my favorite Cricut fonts. I stretched the words to be a little bit taller in Cricut Craft Room before cutting them. I also cut out the witch hat with my Cricut and the Mini Monsters Cartridge. 

The journaling reads: "For your first Halloween Claire you were the most adorable little witch! I got the idea to have you go as a witch from this hat I purchased many years ago when I was taking photos of newborns. Even through I stopped photographing newborns I held on to this hat just in case I ever needed it. And I am so glad that I did! It was a perfect fit for you and inspired the rest of your super cute outfit. You certainly brought lots of smiles to many people in this outfit! --Halloween 2012 "
