Scrap Queen

We love to play games as a family at our house. My husband and I are really trying to make it more of a regular occurrence! So, our goal is to make one of the weekend nights a Family Game Night. This particular night we were just playing Skip Bo. We also love to play strategy games like Settles of Catan, Hunters and Gatherers, Flux, and Ticket to Ride - just to name a few. For these pictures I decided to use a sketch from the Sketches In Thyme  blog. This was a fun sketch to work with! I decided to reverse my triangles to go the opposite direction and I put my title on top rather than the below the pictures.  The Sketch: My Take: To Create this Layout I used: Colorbok: Signature Paper - Hopscotch paper stack Family Album Cricut Cartridge: title Designers Calendar Cartridge: dice Thank you for stopping by!

We had barely gotten into Animal Kingdom and already we were learning! We were met on the path by a wonderful cast member who told the kids all about the spider she had in her clear box. Now, being a bit of a spider hater, I kept my distance. But my scrapbook does not discriminate - so I decided to use the sketch on  Let's Get Sketchy  for our spider pictures. Their Sketch: My Take: To Create this layout: I used a double sided pattern paper I had in my stash - I apologize I do not know what the manufacture is.  Wild Card Cricut Cartridge - spider web Designer's Calendar Cricut Cartridge - spider Type Candy Font Cricut Cartridge - title font Recollections - washi tape glitter washi tape prima flowers stickers from my stash Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my project!

A very good friend of mine recently had her baby boy and instead of going out to buy her something I decided to make her a baby book.  And of course I have to share here with all of you!

Other cartridges used include A Child's Year, Life's a Beach, Animal Kingdom, Boys Will Be Boys, and Accent Essentials. Till next time,
