Well, I've gotten up to last years birthdays in my scrapbook. So let's do a birthday post :)! I found a great sketch on Sketch-N-Scrap to use for my son's birthday pics. I will show that one first and then I'll show the layout I created (without a sketch) below it. I'm also using both layouts to complete some daily challenges on the My Scraps and More forum.

I'm always on the lookout for a good sketch and I found a couple of great ones on the Sketch-N-Scrap challenge blog. So, I decided to tackle their November layout sketches. I'll show you the sketch and then my take on it after. Sketch #44 My Take: For this layout I used the Cinnamon Luster Stack from DCWV. The title comes from the Paisley Cricut Cartridge, the accents that look like branches come from the Accent Essentials cartridge, and the circular base comes from the Lovely Floral cartridge. I embellished further with red colored stickles and some orange and black trenty twine. Thanks for peeking! Till next time,

So, I'm on a roll and of course I have to post all my layouts. I'm just way too excited about getting so much done for our family scrapbook! These layouts were all completed using sketches from the My Scraps and More Birthday Sketch-a-thon.  (From this point on I will not be posting the sketches. You will have to create an account and see for yourself) :) This challenge required the use of inks. I used Tim Holt'z Walnut stain distress ink and Colorbox inks to distress all the pattern paper peices used on this layout. The circle paper comes from George and Basic Shapes Cricut cartridge and the "Preschool" title comes from the Locker Talk Cricut Cartridge. The "ABC" in the lower right corner comes from the Recess Cricut Cartridge. The paper is DCWV: My Sunshine. This layout challenge required the use of stamps. The camera, arrow, bracket, and two corners were all stamped and embossed, then cut out before applied to the page. The title...

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! Now, I did use the cricut for a lot of this album. The calender pages were all cut using the Designers Calendar Cricut Cartridge. Other cartridges used include A Child's Year, Life's a Beach, Animal Kingdom, Boys Will Be Boys, and Accent Essentials. Till next time,

This week at the Fantabulous Cricut Blog the theme is Snow Fun! We are asked to use a snowflake or a snowman on our project. I decided to go with a snowflake and make a fun snowy card.  For this card I used the Accent Essential Cricut Cartridge for my snowflake. I cut two of them out at 4 and 3 inches. I used a pop dot to pop up the smaller snowflake to give the card some dimension. I, also, popped up the sentiment as well. The sentiment was stamped and then I heat embossed it using silver embossing power and then for fun added some starry bling to the snowflakes on the pattern paper. Try a project with a snowman or snowflake and then upload it onto the Fantabulous Cricut Blog for your chance to win this weeks prize. ****************************************************************************** Made Especially for You is hosting a challenge this week that asks us to use three ribbons on our cards. This was actually a challenge for me! But, I had fun working through it ...
