iPhone Love: Angry Bird Tutorial

Oh, we have played many, many games of Angry Birds at my house. And when I say "we," I mean my 3-year-old.  He is crazy for my phone and this game.  He is limited to 10 minutes a day, but I am pretty sure it's his favorite 10 minutes of the day. 

I used the February kit at My Creative Scrapbook to make this layout. The kit featured the Love Story collection from Echo Park Paper. It's such a cute line and as you can see here, lends itself well to non-typical love stories. This particular photo was taken on our beach trip last year.  

Here's a close-up of the title cluster at the top. I love the banner stickers in this kit. 

I used my punches to make an Angry Bird. 

Here's the Angry Bird on my page. It was a quick embellishment to make and added a fun touch to the layout. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Linking to Tip Me Tuesday. 

Hexagon Punch: LYB Hello Spring Card

I admit: I am behind the trend on hexagons. I have used some fun hexagon themed patterned paper in the past but I’ve never made my own hexagons. But now, I’m officially trendy!

 

Part of the reason I had never made hexagons before was that I didn’t have a hexagon punch, a particularly elusive creature. I am not sure why there aren’t more hexagon punches on the market. But I managed to find an old one by Creative Memories that did just the trick. This particular punch makes hexagons in two sizes and you can also nest them. Nice.

This shows the punch and the beginning of my card panel, albeit upside down.... I used the larger hexagon for my project. 

Here's a close-up. Paper and embellies are Little Yellow Bicycle, the Hello Spring line. It’s such a fun and vibrant collection and perfect for this time of year.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
