Abundance

Oh boy, it's been a while since I posted one of my class projects.  Since the holiday season is near, I've started working on projects  to hold all the pictures I take at this time of year.

This layout uses 'Falling For You' paper and an image and a few words from stamp set D1312 November Word Puzzle (which was available earlier this year as part of Stampaganza), a border from C1463 Harvest Happiness (retired), and a background from D1710 Playful Patterns (part of the Flower Market Cricut bundle).

To include extra pictures, try adding Flip Flaps (TM) or Pocket Plus (TM) Memory Protectors (TM).

Lucky

I had so many ideas for this paper, but I finally settled on just "Lucky".  This layout uses Hello Lovely paper and flowers from the Circut Flower Market cartridge. I'm sure I'll make several more pages using this beautiful spring paper.

Winter Layouts

Now that the holidays are over and I'm settling back into my regular routine I've had time to create a few more layouts using Oh Deer!

 

Thanks for stopping by.

I scream for ice cream!

I love the new paper "Sugar Rush". It's perfect for birthdays, Valentine's Day, and lots of other celebrations. I love ice cream cones, so this was the perfect paper to create a birthday layout to celebrate those delicious treats.

I used  Thin Cuts-Celebrate (Z3256) to create the title and the Word Search Embossing Folder (Z3250) to create the background behind the ice cream cone.  I lightly sanded the word "sweet" to reveal the white core found inside all Close To My Heart cardstock. The ice cream cone was cut from Cricut Artistry (Z3167) and the cherry on top is from Cricut Artiste (retired).  Other small shapes such as hearts and arrows were cut from Flower Market (Z3285)and Artbooking (Z3169).

You can find all the "Sugar Rush" paper, embellishments and coordinating stamps on my web site.

I'm Wild about Winter!

Most folks don't look forward to winter.  It's cold, it gets dark early, and sometimes it snows quite a bit and there's too much shoveling.  But, I like to think about the parts of winter that I enjoy, so I made this layout to celebrate the bright side of winter.  I love hot chocolate, sitting by the fire, watching the snow fall, and wearing my favorite sweaters.  It's also a good time to stay inside and scrapbook since I don't feel guilty for not going outside.

This layout features the "Oh Deer!" paper collection.  I've used Seaglass glitter paper in the title using the font from Cricut Artbooking.  The pine cones and needles are from Cricut Flower Market and the Snowflakes are from Cricut Art Philosophy. I used two of my older stamps sets for the embellishments.  (D1480  and C1479)  The layout sketch is from the 'Cherish' How-To book.
