More Scrapbook Layouts for 2013

Hi Again!

I have some more layouts that I'm making for my friends' album.  I'm really happy with how the pages look and am excited that I already have 6 pages completed in just 2 days, since it can usually take me 2 days or more to just complete one layout :)

The paper for this first 2 layouts were printed on the Cricut Imagine after much frustration with trying to get the machine to work.  Thank goodness for the Cricut MB in order to troubleshoot and get it working again.

Font below is from Teresa Collins Sophisticated Cricut Cartridge.

The majority of these papers were cut from the Imagine Bubblegum Stripes cartridge, except for the cloud paper which is from Hopscotch.  Font is from Hannah Montana - Daddy's Girl Font.

The next papers are from DCWV Bright and Guy Stacks and Recollections Paisley and Damask Stack.  Frog and phrase are cut from Create A Critter.  Flowers are from Pack Your Bags.

Simple Scrapbook Pages

Happy Autumn!

Although I love the fall colors and the crispness in the air, I know that the cold weather is right around the corner.  With Fall in mind, the 2 scrapbook pages I'm sharing today contain photos taken in October a few years ago.

All of the patterned paper is from DCWV.

The shovels are cut from Dinosaur Tracks.  I added brown chalk to the ends to give the appearance of dirt and pop dots for added dimension.

The font on this next page is from Hannah Montana and the 11 is from Sweet Treats.  My nephew/godson is a big Tony Hawk fan and for his 11th birthday I gave him Tony Hawk autographed shoes that Tony wore in competition (yep they're pretty beat up) and an autographed Tony Hawk picture.

Below is a close up of some of the white pen doodling I added to the letters.

Valentine Box

Guess what I was doing at 1A this morning!?!  I was using my cricut to create a valentine box (from a cereal box) for my daughter.  It's year end close at my job, so I didn't get home from work until 8P and the project was due today (Friday).  My daughter helped, but I finally made her go to bed at 10 - she's only 6, so that's really late for her.

You know, I often get asked by my friends and people I meet at crops, "How do you do all that and work 50+ hours a week?"  Well, often times I don't get it done and I have to convince myself that it's alright.  And other times I'm staying up like last night to get treats or crafts completed because it just needs to get done and that's the only time I have.  My daughter is very appreciative of everything I do, so that helps to motivate me.

So, are you ready to see the project that kept me up most of the night?

The box was a Rice Krispies box and I folded in the top flaps - inside and the whole outside of the box are covered with the printed paper.  Paper was printed from the Imagine Industrial Glow Cartridge.  The monkey, dog and sayings were cut from Sweethearts and the koala is from Create a Critter.  Font is from the Hannah Montana cartridge.

Cricut Circle Blogiversary: Recipe Challenge

The Challenge: Use your Cricut machines to create a project using the following “recipe.” It must contain 1) A Title; 2) At least 2 Cricut Cuts, and 3) At least 3 buttons.


Here's my layout submission for the Challenge.   The brown cardstock to the right of the picture is where I will put my journaling for the layout.  Last school year the teacher sent home a family project to decorate a cookie jar - I pulled out all of my scrapbooking items and my daughter had so much fun!  It was my husband's idea to take a picture of her hand and add it "reaching" into the cookie jar - it turned out so great!
