Lasting Memories Cool to be Cool

This week at Lasting Memories the challenge is "It's Cool to be Cool" or how to cool off.  

Being that I live in a Southern California beach community when it's hot we hit the beach.  

The paper I used for this double page layout is from Canvas Corp.

Canvas Corp Blog 

I received this paper to make a project for another DT I am on and had leftovers after I made a really cool mini.  If you would like to see more Canvas Corp Click here.  

This layout was my next project.  

The thick twine, canvas triangles, words and "BEACH" letters are all Canvas Corp.  

I love the combination of Kraft, white  and light blue.  Very beachy!''

EK Success punch for corners.  Waves cut with Cricut and I added foam with a Pearl Pen.

DCWV Stack-a-holic template challenge- Peek a boo Its' a Boy

Time to share my layout for the DCWV stack-a-holic template Challenge for August.  Each month DCWV provides a layout sketch and a card sketch for you to design with.  

Here is the layout sketch for this month and I fell in love with it right away.  

This is my page using the new DCWV Boy stack.  The pics are of the ultrasound to find out the gender of our new grandchild.  After two generations of only girls and three granddaughters in a row we were thrilled to find out it was a boy. 

 One of the first things I did was buy the DCWV stack.  

The peek a boo title is from B is for Boy cut aqt 3 inches. 

The circle is from Lacey Labels cut at 3.5 inches 

The banner was made using a 1" circle punch.  

The little turtles from my stash matched the turtle on the journal tag 

This is the second page of the actual ultrasound pics to go with the first layout.

Child's Play Challenge- Oh the Places You'll Go

One of the challenges at Child's Play is Oh the Places You Will Go.  I decided to use these pics of my middle granddaughter at the Dodger game with her dad on Father's Day this year.  They went last year too so guess this will be a tradition since Daddy is a fanatic Dodger fan.  

Don't you love those Dodger blue eyes?  

Cooking with Cricut Challenge- Back to School

It's time for another awesome challenge at Cooking with Cricut .  This week the challenge is Back to School.  I retired two years ago after teaching school for over 33 years.  Now Back to School means I will be babysitting my middle granddaughter again when her mommy goes back to teach.  For my project I decided to try making an "apple for the teacher" using the Sweet Tooth Boxes Cartridge.   I cut the top of the cupcake/ice cream cone cut at 11.5 and the bottom at 11.25.  That way the lid would fit over the top.  

I used some leftover Graphic 45 School paper, twine, and ribbon.  Also some of the Graphic 45 stamps.  

The leaves on the top were cut at 2 inches from Accent Essentials

 and the stem was made from rolled Kraft paper.  Makes a fun, quick treat box you can feel with goodies to start the school year off right.

Thanks for joining us at Cooking with Cricut this week.  I hope you will join us for the challenge and link up your projects at CWC.  We love to see your creations.  Happy Craftin!

BBTB2 "Elephantly Speaking" Challenge

This week at BBTB2 the lovely Shelly came up with the fun challenge for all of us "Elephantly Speaking."  I found this adorable little guy on the Holiday Cakes cartridge page 38 cut at 3 inches.   

One of our BBTB2 follower recently made a card using the Folded Angle Card.  I had benchmarked the tutorial link so decided to give it a try. 

Ckick for Tutorial 

I am giving this to my daughter. She is a Special Ed teacher and has just finished two years of Saturday classes and extra work load as she works to clear her credential.  I know it was a lot of work and I am really proud of her.  

The stamp is from a Stampin Up set 

Paper K and Company 

Number 11 cut from Birthday Bash 2 inches.  

Remember you have two weeks to join us for the  "Elephantly Speaking" challenge and one more week to join in for the "Fly Away" Challenge.  Happy craftin!
