Birthday Card

I made this card today for a family friend. I used the Martha Stewart All Occasions Cake cartridge for it.  I'm not sure which stack the patterned paper came from, but I think it is so pretty!  The solid papers are coredinations.  I finally got my Jolee's hotset gem tool ready to go, so of course I added some of those too!

My attempt at cards

So far in my crafting life I have never made a card...so I decided to try it.  It is much easier to do with out my gypsy than a layout, but I still miss my little "G!" I used 3 Birds on parade for these Christmas cards.  Any and all comments would be appriciated, I am trying really hard to get into card making and need some advise!  Thanks for looking!

Here is another

School Picture Layout

I wanted to do the Fantabulous Cricut Button up for School challenge...then my gypsy broke.  So, this layout isn't quite what I had invisioned, but it's done and cute!  I used Pooh font for the title and doodlecharms for the backpacks.  The buttons are made by Ki memories.  Thanks for looking!

Here's the left side alittle closer.

And the right side

Autumn Splendor Mini Album

I made this album for the cricut circle weekend contest.  I don't know if it will qualify or not because it was supposed to be a layout or a card, but I did a card with a layout in it!  It is for my parents for Grandparent's day, only a little late!  That's how I roll!!!   It was a lot of fun to make!  I think I might do these more often, I think they look cool on a table as decor too!

Anyway, here it is all closed up!

There is a ton of Cricut in this project!  The title is Songbird and the papers are almost all from DCWV Amber Autumn stack.

Here it is when untied and opened up of the front

Here are a couple of close ups from the front.  The little kids are from A child's year, the tree is from Stretch your Imagination. The deer, flourish on the first "page " and the squirrel frame are all from Cindy Loo.

And the back of it all opened up

Here is a close up of that cute little owl!  I love it!  It is from the Paisley cartridge, cute huh, he's right there in front of my daughter Paizley! LOL

On the picture below the acorn and leaves are from Celebrate with Flourish and the owls are from a stamp in my stash.

My Gypsy says I used some other cartridges but I am not sure on what!  I cut some things out and didn't use them!

Thanks for looking!

Update: I was a winner on the Circle forum with my mini book!

Happy Birthday Layout

I am SOOOOO glad this LO is finished! It has been quite an adventure getting it finished with 6 kids here all day!  I finally got it done about 15 minutes ago, as a matter of fact the stickles are still wet!  I used Sesame Street Font for the title, Sesame Street Friends for the Abby Cadabby and Celebrations for the the "2" tag.

Here is a close up of the left page

Here is a closer picture of Abby. She was a booger to put together and I'm not really happy with the way she turned out, but she'll do!

Here is a close up of the right page and the tag that will fit down behind the picture on the left once the glitter is dry!

I like to include the cards from the birthday party too, so they slide down in the pocket behind the picture on the left too. 

I have to give a shout out to my Mom too, she made the wonderful Abby Dress that my sweet Paizley is wearing!

School Pictures Layout

Hey everyone, I finally decided to do something with the school pictures from last year...Yes, I am a bad momma, they were still in the Lifetouch envelope!  This is my son, Levi's fall and spring pics from pre-k.  The LO will eventually go into his school scrapbook, once I find the perfect one!

I used my Speaking of School Cricut Cartridge for the title, Learning Curve for the Pre-K label and Give a Hoot for the borders. 

Here is a close up of the Left page:

And the Right page:

I used DCWV grade School stack for most of the papers.  The LEVI brads are from Spare Parts.  

The Last Blast of Summer

We spent our Labor Day weekend camping at Stone Mountain.  The had a "Last Blast of Summer" Celebration.  There were concerts all day Saturday.  We played mini golf, rode the train, played at Camp Outland Post and ended the day watching the concert and the fireworks and laser show after dark.  It was a great weekend, here is the first layout!

The word BLAST and the bubble it is on is from the superman cartridge

The scallops are from Straight from the Nest.

Here is a close up of the left page.

The kid on the firework is from A child's year and the fireworks themselves are from Stand and Salute.

Here is a close up of the right page.

Summer is from Straight from the Nest and all other writing is from Zooballoo.

This layout was a lot of fun to make, especially since I usually don't scrap and event this soon after the fact!  Thanks for looking!
