Scrapbook Layout - 2009 Playhouse

PJ was crazy about little playhouses - whenever we'd go near a TRU we'd spend far too much time watching him open/close all the doors and windows of all the houses on display.  My brother sent him $ for his birthday and we topped it up got got him his own little house.

The background papers were all from cricut imagine more. House is from Handyman, heart is Lacy Labels, and the Font is from Nursery Rhyme 

Did YOU notice the title is wrong! LOL!  I forgot to re-take the photo after noticing (and fixing) this error).  OOPS!

Scrapbook Layout - 2009 Look at Me

PJ rarely stood in his crib and never tried to take his PJs off - During his nap I could hear him singing away, so I went in to get him out and there he was standing there like this.  I couldn't resist making a little guy to look like him.  

So get ready for it - I used my imagine WITH CCR!  

The background papers are all from my Imagine More Cartridge.  The little guy is from paper doll and I believe the crib is too.  I think the lettering is from Billionaire - but its hard to know because when I opened up the CCR file, the stupid CCR program loaded up a blank page (rather than everything that was saved on there) and because its stupidly setup to auto-save, I've LOST this file...GRRR! 

Yet another reason why I ABHOR CCR!

So, I may have used CCR for this, but I still hate it!  It is so frustrating to work with and now that its poofed 1 of my files, I'm really annoyed.

Anyhow, thanks for looking.

School card - trying Pop-Up Neighbourhood

I just got my 4th quarter cartridge from the Cricut Circle and there are some cute cuts on it - I like the tree with the tire swing, the fence, lawn-mower and a bunch of other ones.  I need to get PJ onto a farm so I can make the cute tractor and other cute farm things.

I attempted to make one of the pop-ups....which don't really interest me because they are mainly buildings...why do I want to make a card with a building popping up inside?  WELL...I made the little school house...and is it EVER cute.  I think I'm going to make it for the teachers/therapists this year.

Here's a prototype...All the pieces were colored and cut using the imagine more cartridge and gypsy.  There are obviously things I would change and add (like not white paper for the card and pop-up and I may add grass and a tree or something to go with the schoolhouse.  The cartridges used are Pop-Up Neighborhood and Imagine More.

The hard part is knowing what size to make it so it'll fit in a standard card.  Everything was cut at 4.3.  I think I would make the non-pop-up part slightly bigger to see if it'll hide the "box" holding it all up.

Well...at least I tried it, right?!


OH...I actually MADE these...here's the link to the finished product!     SCHOOLHOUSE POP-UP
