Hey Everyone,

Today Ia'm here to share another name plate I made for a co-worker.

I have been super busy with these things. 

Elephant Name Plate

Hey Everyone,

I have been super busy getting these name plates done for people at work. They are very simple to complete. The board is 12x24 and I got them at Michaels. I just covered them with paper and added the design. This mom already had her son's first name in wood letters, so she requested his last name.

One For the Money!!!!

Hey Everyone,

Check out the bugbytes for a great project!!!!!!!

Early this month One for the Money movie came out based on the book by Janet Evanovich. I love her books. I went to the midnight showing of the movie. I was planning on buying a shirt for the event but completely forgot until the night before. So off to the craft store I went.

I found these iron-ons at Joanns. It came with 4 sheets of 8.5x11.

I got the shirt at Wal-Mart and cut the images out on the cricut. It was super easy!

In case you guys have not read the books. Joe is one of the main characters and he calls Stephanie Plum (another main character) Cupcake.

The shirt works perfectly as my husband's name is also Joe.

and the back of the shirt.

I hope I was able to inspire you today! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the Bugbytes!

Until next time!

Baby Gift Item - Name Plate

Just stopping by to share a name plate that I made for a co-worker, who is pregnant.

Monkey's are very big right now. Which works for me because another co-worker is also pregnant and will get a similar name plate for her twins. They are keeping me busy at work.

I found this piece of wood at Michael's.

It is 12x24

Perfect size for a name plate to hang in the new nursery. 

Making Waves

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for stoping by today.

I wanted to share a layout I completed from local trip to Cocoa Beach. I love living in FL and being so close to the beach. We are just a short hour and half drive to the ocean. This trip was with my mom, husband and nephew. Malachi (nephew) is somewhat afraid of the water. He had tubes put in his ears a few years back and he does not like it when water gets in his ears. I was trying to get him to jump the waves but that was not working. So I started picking him up and jumping over the waves. He had a blast.

I used imaginisce Splash Dance paper line. I love the little critters in this collection. I have used this collection on several other layouts and projects so I was out of a lot of stickers and die cuts. After looking at the crab on the paper and the crab from create a critter, I figured I could alter the crab from create a critter to resemble the one from the collection.

I used the sketch from the monthly challenge.  What a great sketch! I love how there are three supporting photos to help showcase the 4x6 photo.

Of course I could not just complete the one page as I am a 2 page scrapper. So I added a second page to with a 5x7 photo. I can't say it enough, I love this paper line. Everything from the creatures to the colors used.

Paper: imaginisce Splash Dance

One Year Celebration

Hey Everyone!

How is everyone enjoying this cooler weather we are having in FL? I love this time of year!!!

I wanted to share with you a layout that I completed recently. My friend’s, Toni, son was born very early! He spent a lot of time in the hospital. So she decided to celebrate his first birthday when he was released from the hospital, which was close to her original due date. She had a small party for him with a frog theme. It amazes me how big he has gotten. From the first time I saw him in the incubator with all the tubes and barley the size of my hand to this adorable baby boy that is trying to walk.

Under the Sea Board Book

Hey Everyone! I am throwing my hat into My Pink Stamper Design Team Call. Her challenge was to create a card, scrapbook page, or other Cricut project with your favorite Cricut cartridge using the following colors......
Orange
Turquoise
Green

Brown

Check out your website for great ideas and more info on the DT call.

I have a friend who son’s First Birthday was a last weekend. I posted a few things that I made for his birthday here. These colors for the challenge fit right into the theme she had of under the sea.

I also made her a 8x8 board book.

This is the front of the book

This is the first pages of the book. It has a picture of the birthday boy and a picture of his mother and sister going through a water spray.

This paper line had super cute stamps to match. I stamped the crab in chocolate chip ink from SU and then used stickles to make him sparkle.

This is the second page of the book. It has a great fold out for extra pictures. I included the kids that attended the party. The first fold in the mini says Friends.

The next page includes the adult guest at the party.

This cute shell is from Life's a Beach

The next page is the guest page. I took a group picture (with my tripod) of all the guests. Then had the guest sign a little note to the birthday boy.

This super cute fish is from create a critter

I used Hello Kitty Font and welded it with the gypsy

Of course a first birthday party would not be complete without a cake. He was not into playing with the cake or even eating it. I love the picture on the second page. He is looking over at his daddy and I could swear he is thinking, you want me to eat THAT, as he points at the cake.

He had cupcakes that had squirt (from Finding Nemo) on the top of them. So this turtle from Life's A Beach fit well with this page.

I read this idea online about having the guest stand with the birthday boy and their gift. What a great idea!!! No need to write down what each person got the child, which makes it super easy to make Thank You Cards. So this page is all of the guests with the birthday boy and his gifts.

I used this jelly fish from Create a Critter a lot throughout this album. But he is so cute, that I just could not help it.

My friend said her favorite under the sea animal is a sea horse, so I had to add this cute guy to the end of the book. He is also from Create a Critter

This is the back cover of the book.

Jaden Turned One!!!

 I love the theme Christina came up with for her son's 1st birthday.

I made the toppers for the goodie bags

 

This is my gift bag to match the theme!

 Love this sign. We wanted to bring in the Finding Nemo, since we had the squirt cupcakes. There is a part after Marlin survives the jellyfish and is found by Crush he says to Marlin "You, Mini-Man, takin' on the jellies. You've got serious thrill issues, dude. Awesome" Thus we came up with this sign.
