Outdoor Wedding Collage

Yet another wedding invite collage. This one was a bit of a challenge - an outdoor casual wedding with green & brown as the colors. I seem to do better with black and white and the traditional wedding colors. But I like how this one came together.


I started with a full sheet paper that already had “Happily Ever After” on it - got it Joanns. I featured the “B” monogram from the bottom of the wedding invite.

I also featured the hydrangeas from SVG Cuts and used Creative Charms Gradient Gems on the middle of the flowers and also used some Antique Brads. (sorry photo is a bit fuzzy)


Have a great weekend!

Bride Journals

Here are some bride journals I have been working on. I plan to make 50 of these for a bridal show I’ll be attending with my photo booth (Ham It Up!). These are so fun to make.

I bought the journals for $1.50 at Target (Pittsburgh area is all sold out thanks to me). Added papers and embellishments from Creative Charms.

For this first one I followed a sketch from Just Us Girls.




And here are a few others that I’ve done:




Thanks for stopping by!

A Door Hanger & Quick Note

We were heading to a birthday party and I created this Hello Kitty card/door hanger for on the present. I hand cut the the Hello Kitty from the birthday invite and added some paper, ribbons & embellishments from Creative Charms.



I tied to the gift bag with some silly bands.



Check out Creative Charms site - they upgraded their site, have new products and now offer Mini Deals for the Countryside and Dream Garden collections.

Happy Labor Day! Amy

Harley Collage

And now for something completely different...I started out doing the baby name collages, moved on to the wedding invite collages and now I am expanding my horizons.

I created this collage for a dear friend & coworker of mine. She lost her husband in an accident last year and they are having a benefit bike run.



I created this Harley Collage using a 20 x 9 1inch deep shadowbox frame. (from Joanns) I cut the logo on the Cricut using SCAL along with the flames. I picked up two magnets and a key chain from my local Harley Shop to add in. I also cut apart a map and featured maps of Daytona & Sturgis (hope my husband does not miss those from his atlas :) )



It was fun creating something a bit different using the shadowbox. Hoping Michele has a successful bike run and hope this brings in lots of Auction bids!

Lauren Collage

Here is a collage I did for my cousin’s new baby. Just love using the Pink & Brown combination. I used SVG Cuts files for the butterfly, flowers and frame to the right. Frame will hold Lauren’s picture.

Used a bunch of Creative Charms embellishments on this collage. If you haven’t checked out the Creative Charms blog lately you should - some creative designers sharing their creativity!

Take Care! Amy
