GOING PLACES LAYOUT

AND....

this is my haul from Michael's and ACM yesterday on my

ROAD TRIP

 I made this layout for a Cricut Circle challenge. 
I did not win but I am very proud of my layout. I need more practice with them especially with the 12 x 12's. I am an 8 x 8 or 8.5" x 11 inches layout lady, :)

Isn't the background paper beautiful? 
It is a street map patterned paper and the one behind a map patterned paper. I adhered the lace with my glue gun, the ribbon is from American Crafts, the butterflies from punches and the title from the Going Places cricut cartidge.

Thanks for your comments!


I have been feeling empty nested lately and your comments always make my day and lift me up.

HOO'S HAVING A BIRTHDAY

Hello everyone!!!

 This summer has been so hot we neglected a lot of yard work because we did not want to deal with the weather. Yesterday, I went around the house checking the grass and plants and our yard is a disaster. Hopefully, the weather gets better as we move into autumn and we can start getting things in order.

Later on I was looking at some photos for my son's marching band book and I saying to myself it is a shame I do not scrapbook more often. So I got all enthusiastic for a moment and made this layout. :)

Hoo's Having a Birthday

12 by 12 inch layout

using the

Hoot 'N Holler Lite 

Cricut Cartridge

 The base cardstock is The Green Stack from DCWV and the rest is from American Crafts.
The phrase was cut at 5.14" H x 8.96" W  and the party hat was tweaked a bit with the Gypsy. Finally, I decided to cut it at 3.5" high and 1.95" wide. I used the white pen for the doodling, some stickles, popped-up the hat and added a K&CO border to the photo mat.
Having such a beautiful paper as the base it was not much more I needed to do.
I hope you like it too.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
Hugs!

AUTUMN LAYOUT/PRE-MADE PAGE/WALL ART

  I am planning to frame it and hang it on the wall.

(You can always click on the photos for a larger view)

I took two 8-1/2" x 11" DCWV purple textured cardstock and glue them together. The designer paper I believe is from MME. The scarecrow, pumpkin, journaling mat and flourishes are from M's Recollection brand. The oak leaves are punched from a Marvy Uchida small punch and some are popped with foam dots and the blue ones are flocked too as well as the band on the scarecrow which I also added a blue rhinestone. Oh God, I needed to take a breath there, lol. The Autumn word is from one of my Cricut cartridges but I do not remember if I welded it or I cut it like that ( I had in in a drawer for a while, sorry).
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like it.

ETA: The designer paper is from Prima: The First Blush Collection, not from MME like I first thought.
