Sofia's Scrapbook Series: First Tooth Layout

Hello Friends! Hope you all are doing well. I decided that I better start putting together some scrapbook pages for Sofia to document all her important life milestones.  This is my very first scrapbook page! I've decided to share all the scrapbook pages that I make her and create a series called "Sofia's Scrapbook".  I've showcased a bunch of A Jillian Vance Design products on this page too. To check out more inspiration using AJVD products, click here.

Supplies:
Cricut Baby Steps cartridge (Baby cut at 5" and phrase cut at 6")
Cricut Imagine Teresa Collins Baby Boutique cartridge (for the patterned paper)
A Jillian Vance Design {die}velop Foto Frames & {die}alogue Bubbles Die Set
A Jillian Vance Design Foto Frames stamp set
A Jillian Vance Design {die}velop Baby Fotos stamp set
Martha Stewart Glitter - Kunzite
Stampin Up Ink in Chocolate Chip
Trendy Twine - Chocolate Cupcake

While I think this page isn't too bad, I feel like there is room for improvement, like something is missing, but not sure where. What blogs do you go to for scrapbook sketches and inspiration?

Thanks for looking!

Zipper Die!

Hello Friends! Today I'm featuring The Inspirational Zipper stamp set and my favourite A Jillian Vance Design Die, The Zipper {die}vice die! This stamp set came at such an appropriate time for me, I really needed to send a card out like this to a few different people!

Torn up and voila! A message on the inside :)

Gingerbread Love!

Hello Friends! We were given a two week summer break from AJVD so I've been enjoying my time off with my daughter and husband and we've been swimming and enjoying the weather! Now it's back to working with the stamps that I love.  It's Christmas in July and we are celebrating at A Jillian Vance Design by sharing Christmas card creations all week long! I'm using one of my favourite AJVD Christmas stamp sets, "Baking Treats"since right away gingerbread came to mind :)  For Christmas card creations and 3D projects which will be showcased next week, visit the Design Team Blog!

Here's a shot of my Gingerbread in "action" trying to run away from the card, but he can't since he's on an Action Wobble...lol!

Supplies:

A Jillian Vance Design Christmas Baking Treats stamp set

DCWV 'Tis The Season paper stack

Happy Holidays everyone!  As some of you may have figured out by now, I'm Canadian! And even though this weeks theme for the designers at AJVD was red, white and blue, I'm being a rebel and sticking to red and white, the colours of Canada's flag, to show my Canadian pride! I made a sign to hang in the house or on the front door.  Here's to wishing you all a safe and happy Fourth of July and Happy Canada Day to any Canadian followers!

Supplies:

A Jillian Vance Design Autumn Leaves stamp set

Cricut Create A Critter cartridge

Cricut Destinations cartridge

NEW STAMP SNEAK PEEKS!

Hello Crafty Friends!
Today I am showcasing 2 upcoming AJVD stamp sets!  First, I'm using the Pleas{ANT} Picnic stamp set to create a BBQ invitation.  The ants and other graphics on this stamp set are sooo adorable!

Supplies:
A Jillian Vance Design Pleas{ANT} Picnic stamp set
A Jillian Vance Design Burlap Background Stamp
Red Button and Black Twine handmade embellishment
Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black

Next I used the Peacock Feathers stamp set to create this card. I used 4 stamps in this set. I stamped it in all different colours to create my own background paper. I think the key is to randomly stamp your image in all different directions.

Supplies:
A Jillian Vance Design Peacock Feathers stamp set
Recollections Cardstock
Stampin Up Ink in Island Indigo (2011 In Color), Concord Crush (2010 In Color), Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant and Not Quite Navy
