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'm finally getting around to scrapping my husbands and I Hawaii trip, from 3 years ago. Slow process, mostly because I tend to get the family stuff done before romantic vacations. I love sketches and the blog Stuck?!  had a great one to start off the new year. Not to mention Let's Scrap is having their load challenge this month in their Facebook group. Here is the sketch I worked off of: And here is my take on it: I used my new Cricut Explore to create this layout. I basically used images that I found in the Cricut Design Space library (to which I have a temporary subscription) to create the entire layout. Just for fun, here is the screenshot of my layout. So fun, right?!

This past weekend a good friend of mine had a housewarming party. They recently bought a new house and renovated it themselves. They did a fantastic job. I wanted to make them something for their new home and decided to check out my favorite source for ideas, Pinterest ! I found this great wood block craft that I thought would be perfect. The Inspiration: Here's my project: I used the Storybook Cricut Cartridge for the word "Family" and I used the Once Upon a Princess Cricut Cartridge for "Kept By God". I pulled out some pattern paper with the greens and yellows in it, as this is my friends favorite colors. For my ribbon I used some green Crinkle Ribbon. I have to say I love crinkle ribbon. If you are interested in getting some yourself you can check out My Craft Spot  for some great color choices. Till next time,
