Girl Guides layout

I was asked to help out my daughter's Girl Guide troop, last Monday, so they could make birthday cards. These cards are to donate to Meals on Wheels to give out to their patrons. I thought that before I started making cards with them, I could talk about my love of scrapbooking. To show them an example of projects I like to do, I quickly made a Girl Guide layout for a picture of my daughter at her enrollment ceremony. I tried to capture some aspects of Girl Guides with paper.

I included the Girl Guide Law in my journaling and I took inspiration from their uniform for the colours and design. The stamps are made by The Stamp Barn.
Making the cards was a lot of fun. The girls really enjoyed the dry embossing. Many of them now would like to purchase a Cuttlebug! I think at the end of the night, they had made 40 cards. I know these cards will brighten the day of 40 people!

Girl Guide thank you cards

These cards are for my daughter's three Brownie leaders to thank them for all their work this year.



The Girl Guide stamps are made by The Stamp Barn. Love them! I used Core'dinations paper and the Thanks Cuttlebug folder. I cut out all the squares with my Cricut and the George cartridge.

This card is for a woman who made a donation to my daughter's Brownie troop. I used my Gypsy to make the Girl Guide symbol and turn it into a shape card. The trefoil is actually the shamrock from the Paper Dolls Dress Up cartridge with the bottom trimmed a tiny bit.



Now, I just need to sell these cookies!

It's almost time for Brownies...

and I have no gift or card... So I quickly used the Create A Critter cartridge to make cocoa sliders for the troop leaders "Brown Owl" and "Snowy Owl".



These were super quick to make using all scraps. My daughter loves how they turned out!
