Christi's Creative Crew: Capturing Smiles

This was a fun card to make inspired by Kelly Acheson.

I purchased the CAPTURING SMILES Bundle because I knew it would be great to have for my scrapbooking, but I also wanted to find some cards to make as well. I was immediately drawn to this layout by Kelly Acheson.

She showed how you can personalize the card by adding some photos. And what is cuter than this little guy! Our 5 year old grandson, Liam.

I knew that not all my stampers would want to add a photo so I pulled out a retired alphabet stamp set (ALPHABEST) for the #2, and the rest of the alphabets were die cut from the MINI ALPHABET DIE.

Stamp Sets: Capturing Smiles bundle & Words & Wishes stamp set

Colors: Coastal Cabana Basic Black & White

Other: Eyelet Blooms Die, rhinestones

Measurements used:

black base 11 x 4-1/4, scored at 5-1/2, 3-5/8 x 3-5/8

basic white 4 x 5-1/4 (x2) and a scraps for the die cutting

coastal cabana 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 and scraps for the die cuts
