Fall Mini Album

 Happy Blog Hop Day!!! Don't forget to stock up on your digital files with the coupon code below.

It's not feeling very fall around here but I was hoping to bring on all the fall feels with this little mini album today.

I used the Multi Flap Mini Album (SVG, Silhouette).

 

I used this fun new line of paper from Echo Park by Lori Whitlock called I Love Fall.

The flaps are so fun and open up to little areas for more photos.

I did do a few things different from the cut file. I cut additional flaps and pieces for the inside of my mini flaps. 

I just thought it made it look a little more finished and it was easy to add these additional pieces .

Can't wait for sweater weather here in South Dakota so I can get some photos added to this little album.

Stop by Lori's store and snag this cute file for free.

Pool Time

I saw this adorable layout by Rebeca Ruiz that I knew I had to case with the pictures of the littles in the pool at Mimi and Papa's. 

I used Simple Stories Retro Summer line and added my own take on the layout. 

I inked the sun using a stencil I had from an old paper pumpkin kit and added some embelishments with pop dots.

I added more sticker embelishments and bling to the page to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

My little fireworks

 I just love taking photos of these two cuties. I used some Fancy Pants Designs Hometown Summer paper that my good friend Cathy gifted me just for these pictures. 

I absolutely adore how this turned out. Ipopped my title and a few other elements to complete the look.

I cut my banners using an old die cut set that I'm not even sure of the brand anymore because I've had it so long. 

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Bad to the Bone

 When I was taking my little Princess' cake smash photos, I decided since my Squishy was turning 2 the next month, I would take some 2 year old photos of him. He was NOT having it and I got a dozen photos like the one in this layout. But he was just too cute to not scrapbook them.

I found this amazing Simple Stories #Whatever paper in my stash and I knew it would be perfect to show off his spunky attitude. 

Popped the stickers that came with the paper and and added some little arrows and fell in love with how cute this turned out.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Christmas in July

 I took the cutest photos of my little Squishy (what I call my bonus grandson) at Christmas time 2021 and can you believe I'm just getting around to scrapbookign them?! 

I used Authentique paper called Retro Two for the plaid and some vintage BoBunny cardstock. 

My bulbs are a diecut from Lawn Fawn.

Added some doilies and a cute little Cricut cut title, a few gold accents and a button.

Thanks so much for stopping by and checkin' in with me. Happy Crafting!

I'm back

 Hey folks! It's bee a hot minute since I've been here, you can find me on Instagram though. My username is cards_coffee_and_cuss_words

But I thought it might be time to get back into the swing of things and start to post again.

Since the last time I was here I became a Mimi (grandma) to 2 adorable Bonus Grandbabies and boy are they fun to scrapbook! 

My latest is this fun cake smash layout I did for the little princess' 1st Birthday. 

Isn't she adorable!? I used Doodlebug Designs Hey Cupcake paper line for this 2 page layout. I also used some doilies and enamel dots as well as some mini tattered flowers and rosettes from some Tim Holtz dies. 

This was such a fun day letting her have fun with that cake but even more fun to scrapbook. Thanks for stopping by.

And now, onto my card

You Rock

I am totally diggin' the sketch challenges over at iSpy Sketches and this week is no different. Here's the sketch:

And my card:

 Sorry the picture is a little blurry, not sure why that happened. I used some Bo Bunny double dots on my card and embossed it with the new Spellbinders embossing folders. I'm digging the 2 in 1 with these folders.

 I used a stamp set from Close to My Heart. I inked the edges and added some nail head looking "ribbon" I had on hand to finish the front of the card off. The inside is what makes this card "ROCK".

Come on now how fun is that? I'm also entering my card in the challenge at CAS-ual Friday.

Have a sweet birthday

 Hello all! I have a quick post for you today. I am using the sketch from iSpy sketches:
