Scrapbook Layout - 2010 Water Park

End of school field trip to a local Spray Park.  As you can see, he wasn't impressed with the water or the sound of the water landing on the ground.

H2O cart was used for the Water Park and All West titles and little dude.  I think the scalloped square is from Elegant Edges.

For the headings, I cut hem with white and coloured them with copies because they were too thin to cut with my stash of heavy Bazzill paper.  I believe the colour parts of the dud are also hand coloured.  The boy body must be with coloured card stock though.

2012 National scrapbooking day - card with cast-offs

The circle had another 2 hr challenge and it was to pull out your trash and cast-off cuts and make a card...so I did and it was fun.

I took off the flourish (French Manor cart - first time I used this circle cart) from the scavenger hunt challenge and inked it with copics (even the inside tiny areas).  Then I pulled out a background (Elegant Edges cart) that I had cut but decided I didn't like the size and it was in the trash.  I cut it in 1/2 and inked it with copics.  Then I pulled out the other 1/2 of the paper that I had used to cut out the flourish (which all was from a piece of paper that I printed from the imagine Enjoy the Seasons cart - but was going to TOSS!) and cut it into card size, folded in 1/2...glued on my flourish and YIPPEE - a card!

I pulled out my Stampin Up ink spots, a stamp and put on a sentiment and inked the edges of the card to finish it off! 

I'm pleased with it - I'm not much of a card maker - but I might do it for other quick card when I'm desperate in the future because I think its cute enough.  I stuck the back of the card in our baseboard in the kitchen and took the photo - looks funny, but it works.

Scrapbook Layout - 2009 Snowpants & I love you

I had a few photos of PJ in his snowpants (1st time I got him in them without a fight) but there wasn't alot of photos and nothing really to go on the facing page.  I also had this cute photo of PJ pointing at the camera that I love - so I just did these 2 layouts on the same paper and force them to be a 2-page spread-ish

Cartridges used on the 1st page are: Boys will be Boys for "I can wear"; Billionaire for "snowpants"; Paper Trimmings for the square background and frame.

Cartridges used on the 2nd page are:  Paper Lace for "I love you"; Lyrical letters for the heart; Sesame Street Season for Bert; Elegant Edges for the frame; Ribbons & Rosettes for the rosette

AND...its all made with my STASH! WOO HOO!

The best part is that they are BLUE - I just can't get enough BLUE!

Scrapbook Layout - 2009 Great Outdoors

I thought I better put in a project - the organizing is getting a little boring.  Here's a layout I did in November.

This is PJ playing out in the backyard in 2009.  He ended up thinking that the shed was the best toy ever!  HA HA, silly boy.

I used Elegant Edges for the postage stamp looking background. Pretty much everything else was from Campin Critters, except for the lawn mower, which I believe was from Pop-up Neighbourhood.  I used glossy accents on the mower (even though you can't see it in the photo).  I also inked (with copics) all the edges on the trees as well as used Swiss Dot embossing folder on the green trees.  Pop-dots were used on some of the trees and on the mower.

Thanks for looking

Cricut Circle Christmas Recipe layout Swap

I wasn't going to sign up for this challenge, but I thought it would be nice to get some new recipes and having them on interesting layouts was a bonus.  Since I was done the Christmas card swap...I did sign up for this one.  I had to make 20 of the following layouts.

Cricut cartridges used: background (Elegant edges); file card (From my Kitchen); Title (Quarter Note); Trees (Winter Frolic).  Everything was inked on the edge in brown (including the white background..  The dot on the 'i' is a gem.  The small tree is popped up.

1st mini book

So, awhile back, there was a sale on the Cinch, and I buckled and bought one.  I managed to make my 1st book and its for my god daughter.  Here's the finished product (although, I may add some flowers to the front).  Now its just waiting for her to plop in some photos and words..

Font is Mickey

Moose from Campin Critters, word box from Elegant Edges

Title - Quarter Note; heart - CTMH Art Philosophy

font = Storybook; family = gypsy wanderings; heart = lacy labels

"School is"=Batman font; "cool" = Boys will be Boys

Title = elegant cakes; cake = Doodlecharms

Title = Beyond Birthdays

Title = Storybook; Butterfly = MS elegant Cake; Dragonfly = Paisley

Title - Christmas(Noel); Elf = Jolly Holidays

Title = gypsy font; moose = Campin Critters

The book base is from Elegant Edges.  These are a pain - trying to get the cut paper to line-up with the book base is a PAIN!  Other than designing it, that was the most time consuming part of the project.
