Scrapbook Layout - 2009 Number 1 Mom

Still using up photos...this time with me in them.

The crest and #1 are from Father's Day

I replaced the "dad" with "mom" using Quarter note for that font.

Scrapbook Layout - 2009 Kindermusik Time

Here's another one Kindermusik one.  Similar to the last one - I'm still amazed that he participated on the last few classes after being there every week from 6 months to 3 yr old! 

I managed to get a photo with PJ and his 3 little friends all sitting still and kind of looking the same way (they were listening to a story).  All of the embellishments are from Quarter Note.  They were done on black glitter paper (which really dulled my blade!!).  All of it was done with paper I had in my stash!

TFL!

Scrapbook Layout - 2009 Kindermusik Fun

PJ went to Kindermusik since he was about 6 months old in Sept 2006 and by June 2009, it was his last session.  BOO HOO....I loved Kindermusik - I got to sing, had an outing, it was great fun.  I had taken some photos at an earlier session when they were about 1 yr old (which I'm pretty sure there's a scrapbook page of, but I don't think I posted it...as it was done before I got this blog).  We went with the same 2 kids all this time (there were a few others that came off and on, but not consistently as the 3 amigos).

After all the time that we had gone to Kindermusik...it was just in this last couple of months that PJ actually participated and wasn't too scared of Kathleen (so got to ride upside down).  I posted this upside down photo on facebook and tagged Kathleen - she got a good laugh at the photo.  I'm so glad I had my camera that day!

The heading was made using Printing Press and the notes are from Quarter Note.  I have never used Printing Press before - but for some reason I liked that I could use un-matched letters (which is totally out of my comfort zone).

OH and I'm trying to just use my stash for projects until the end of March - so here's one that is done with what I had on hand - Yay me!

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.
