And More Layouts

Hi!

Continuing on with more layouts for my friends' album ....

The boat is from Life's a Beach and the phrase is from Simply Charmed - I used the gypsy to hide the faces on the "a" and the "b".  The paper is from my stash - something that I've had since I first started scrapbooking.  I had been saving it for pages from a trip to Boston that I took in 2000, but figured it's been almost 13 years so it's time to finally use up.

The next layout uses DCWV papers.  Font is from Kate's ABCs.  I would have used Disney's Pooh Font, but I didn't think about it until after I put together the page and decided it needed something more...which is when I added Winnie the Pooh and Tigger - both are from the Disney Pooh Font cartridge and are cut at 2.5".

My creativity has slowed down quite a bit since I first started this project.  My hope is to get at least 1, if not 2, more pages done today.  Wish me luck!

Christmas Cards

What a busy weekend!  My daughter, Sophia, had three holiday recital performances for her dance academy - one on Saturday night and two on Sunday afternoon.  Although I wasn't thrilled about another weekend being dedicated to dance, it was a great show and all of the dancers did a fabulous job! 

Since next week is her dance academy Christmas party, I made up some quick cards for Sophia to give to her team coach, office manager and the academy owner along with their Christmas presents.  The paper is printed on the Cricut Imagine from the Mr. Frosty cartridge and the images are for the Simply Charmed cartridge at 3.2"

Stick on gems were used for they eyes and the cuts were inked with distressed inks.  Sentiment stamp is from My Pink Stamper.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #53 - Wearing O' the Green Challenge

Hi Everyone!

This is for the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge.  The Challenge: Create a pin, necklace, bracelet or something else that you can wear on St. Patrick’s Day that includes the color green. 


Rules and Guidelines: Circle Blog Challenges are open to Cricut Circle Members only. Your project must be newly created for this challenge and include at least 2 Cricut Image Cuts. You must submit a project to be entered into the Challenge Prize Drawing. One entry per person, please.

My project submission is a leprechaun pin.  I used Celebrate with Flourish for the clovers and Simply Charmed for the adorable little leprechaun.

He did turn out a little bigger than I envisioned, but the good news is that bold statement accessories are very trendy right now, so big is in!

More Backpack Notes. . .

Here's more of the backpack notes.  They are the only crafty things I've had time to do the past 2 weeks - a little crafting is better than none at all though :o)

Cricut Circle Sisters Fall Blog Hop

Hi,

Welcome to our Fabulous Fall Blog Hop!  This is my first time participating in a blog hop and I'm super excited to have you here.  If you found this page from another spot and want to start from the beginning, please click here to start at Kristen's blog.  We have 23 very talented ladies in today's line up, so you'll want to be sure to check them all out.

Today I have two fall layouts to share with you.  The fall colors are some of my favorites!  Please click on the pictures to enlarge.

My first project is a one page layout using pictures from last year.  We took a trip to Ebert's Greenhouse Village. which is like a farm/greenhouse that has a ton of fun fall activities for the kids - including a bouncy house, face painting, pumpkin slingshot, hay rides, pumpkins, candy shop and more.  They even have these extremely large and beautiful mums.  Anywho, these are some of the pictures from that trip. 

 Paper - DCWV Amber Autumn
 Gypsy Font - Celebrate cut at 1" and welded on the gypsy
 Simply Charmed - boy and girl scarecrows at 3.5"
 Straight from the Nest - Fall cut at 1"
 Cotton Candy Stickles
 Pop Dots

My second project is a two page layout using pictures from 2 years ago.  We don't get many leaves in our yard, so my daughter and a neighbor girl collected leaves from one of our other neighbors to make this leaf pile to jump in.

 Paper - DCWV
 Stretch your Imagination - Trees at 8" & 10", Autumn title
 Creative Memories leaves punch
