Valentine Cards

-
Welcome to another Monday with two great challenges from two great Blogs! This first one comes from the Fantabulous Cricut Blog. This week's challenge is to create a 3x3 valentine card. I decided to make mine using my brand new cartridge Sentimentals. I absolutely love this cartridge, especially all the stamp images. Which is exactly what I chose to make my card with.


I used the heart shaped lock and added a metal key and some fiber to further embellish my card.
The envelope came from the Tie The Knot Cricut Cartridge.

Create your 3x3 Valentine card and head on over to the Fantabulous Cricut blog to upload your creation!

************************************************************

This is a bittersweet moment, as this is my final project as a member of the Made Especially For You design team. I have had a wonderful time designing for Ashley and will try to continue by joining in on the challenges.
This week on Made Especially For You the challenge is to work off a sketch. The prize for this weeks winner comes from K 'n K Designs  and they will be offering the winner their choice of three digital stamp sets. Here is my take on the sketch. Create your card and upload it to Made Especially For You!
And, thank you Ashley for a great time on your design team!

    Both of your cards are awesome. Love the lock and key on the first one with the twine. I love vintage feel. The little bird on the other one are so cute and plump.
    Lots of creativity.

War Binder

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner.

Let's Scrap - Friends Forever

Since moving away from my home town I don't get to see my old high school/college friends very often. There was a core group of us that hung out beginning in high school and we are all friends still. The one friend that was responsible for all of us meeting and ultimately becoming friends was getting married. It was so fun to all be back together for an evening. What was also fun was seeing all of our children together. Definitely one of those sentimental moments that needs to be scrapbooked and kept for all time! Let's Scrap has a fantastic sketch up on the blog that was perfect for these pictures. This sketch included a fun element: booklet. At first I had some trouble figuring out how to do this but then it became clear. I hope you enjoy the layout and the booklet as pictured for you below. I decided to use the left side of the layout. And I hope you are inspired to try this fun element on your next layout! The Sketch: My Take (on the left side of the...
