Baby goodies layout with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

Looking for the perfect way to add all of those goodies you got when you were at the hospital with your newborn? Well here it is! I got the hat, bracelets, and foot prints all on one page that easily slides into a 12x12 page protector to go in your album! I also did these layouts for my older children, but with the Cricut it was a million times easier!
I used a Ultra Fine point Sharpie in the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder to write the name, date & time on the transparency and added some cute trinkets behind them.

Between a sheet of patterned paper and white card stock I added form core board.  I did cut it smaller then 12x12 to fit into my page protectors and used an exacto knife to cut out the squares to add my goodies to.

Artist with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

My little artist!  Hoping one day she gets into the whole scrapbook thing!
I used 2 files for Studio, the first is artist and the 2nd is water color paint set.  I then used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder with a .1 mm Copic Multi Liner.  These pens are made to go work with Copic markers, so no smearing.  And can I just tell you how amazed I was at just how smooth they draw with the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder in the Cameo??  AWESOME!!

I then colored in just a small portion of the things I drew with Copic markers.  For the silver I used a silver Sharpie marker.

I needed some thicker lined journaling circles, so I made some in studio.  You can download the share for these here... journaling circles thick  I again used the Copic Multi Liner in the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder to draw the lines on these.

I wanted the small splashes of color from the Copics to be the only color on this page, so I used some Basic Grey papers in shades of brown on this page.

Painted Burlap Canvas

Lucky me I got to get crafty with my daughter tonight!
I'm sitting here and I'm thinking, how in the world am I going to make a cute template in the software easily, and then I had this genius idea...  WORDSWAG!  It is an app where you type in your inspirational quote (I like to search google for inspirational quotes), or whatever you would like, and pick a style and it comes up with something like this...

I chose a white background and black font to make them stand out.  I then opened these in the Silhouette software and traced them.  Super duper easy!

Then I cut the template out of vinyl and added it to the burlap canvas and we painted away!  It was better to use the daubers and sponge them up and down and not move side to side.

This is the finished product, and my sister had given my daughter these super cute flowers for her birthday!  We did find the bigger letters seemed to work better because of the thick texture of the burlap.  I'm sure on a smooth surface the smaller letters would have been fine.
