Happy Memorial day to you all and hope you have had a safe and fun weekend.  Today at Bitten by the Bug 2 the Challenge is "Garden."  You can use any cartridge and any cut for this challenge as long as it fits the "Garden"theme.

Sorry I don't have the exact sizes as I am visiting my daughter and forgot the book I write all my cuts in.  
These are pictures of my three granddaughters.    
The title is All things grow with love.  
I used a wide MS punch for the white lace edge.  Ribbon from my stash and a MS vine punch.  
Flowers, bird, nest, branch, gazebo and gate all from Spring Cottage.  
EK Success punch on mat corners

Cricut Circle Family Momentos Challenge


I had so much fun doing this layout for the Cricut Circle Family Momentos Challenge.  For this challenge we were to take a picture of a family momento and scrapbook it.  I knew right away what I was going to do.  
The story that goes with this page is about my grandfather and my great uncle.  My grandfather was the eldest of a large family and my great uncle the youngest.  You can see the picture of my uncle when he was a young boy.  I have always loved this picture and his adorable curls.  
So the story that goes that the time finally came for my uncle to start school.  As all the kids were walking  to school my grandfather decided that he didn't want everyone making fun of his little brother and callng him a girl.  so he took his pocket knife and cut all the curls off on the way to school.  My two great aunts gathered all the curls and put them in their school bags and took them home.  Needless to say my grandfather was in big trouble with his mom but probably saved his little brother from a lot of humiliation.  
So in the left corner is the candy box full of my uncles curls that my great aunt gave to me some years ago.  I am proud to say this adorable little boy grew up to serve in the European theater during World War II and lived to be in his 90's.  

Recipe:
School house cut from Heritage cart page 35 at 6 inches.
The kids are from Nursery Rhymes page 57 cut at 3 inches 
The journal circle is cut from Accent Essentials cut at 3 nches.
I used Graphic 45 School Days Paper, twine, brad, and Tim Holtz Distressed ink. 
Closeup of pic and journal tag

This is the back of the journal tag which tucks in behind the picture.

It's a Boy Welcome buckets

This was a quick and easy project I did for my MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) that I mentor at my church.  Last week was "Spa week" when the ladies get manicures, hair styles, massages, and other fun pampering. We also made our own jar of scrub which was a lot of fun.  


I like to take my table little goodies each time we meet so I decided to make a spa bucket.  However I also found out that week  I was going to be blessed with my first grandson so I thought it would be fun to combine the spa day with an announcement that I am having my first grandson.  
I got these cute little buckets in the $1 section at Target ( they have blue and white ribbon handles), I got bath nets (2 for $1)  and It's a boy mints at the Dollar Tree, and the manicure set from Michaels for only 60 cents each.  I also added a blue pencil and made Its a boy tags from my Imagine cart Nursery Rhymes  and cut Baby cupcake wrappers to fit along the edge of the buckets using Cupcake Wrappers and some blue paper from my stash.  
I made 9 of these for around $25.  

Here you can see the buckets empty and full.

Bun in the Oven layout for ultrasound picture

Today I have a layout I made the other day for a challenge at Child's Play. based on the Easy Bake Oven and also Amanda's Scrap and More Getting Scrappy Challenge use a banner or pennant. 
 Right away I remembered an idea I saw at a scrapbook expo of a baby ultrasound in and oven.  So I got out my From the Kitchen cart and made an oven to fit the untrasound picture my daughter just got.  Then I cut out the cute little prego lady from New Arrival.  The banner is from Birthday Bash and the letters are Nursery Rhymes. At the bottom I used some little alphabet beads and a heart button to make a little banner that says !st Photo.  I kept the background generic blues, pinks and greens and yellows since we don't know if its a boy or girl yet.  
So my first page of grandbaby #4 album has begun.

Make a Wish Upon a Dandelion layout

The weekly challenge for the Cricut Circle is the Decorative Letter Challenge Create a scrapbook page, card, home decor item, or other project where you include a word of your choice. One or more of the letters in your chosen word must be replaced by a Cricut shape. 

I also combined this with Amanda Crafts and More challenge which was to use a sketch and share the sketch with your layout.  I immediately went on the hunt for a multi picture double page layout sketch and I found a great one at Page Maps to use.  





March Map from Page Maps 2012 

This is my adorable oldest granddaughter Katie in our backyard blowing on dandelions for the first time.  She had so much fun and made sure she found every dandelion in the backyard before she quit.  I chose to use the grays and reds of her clothes and found in my stash this wonderful Cosmo Cricket paper called Something Blue which came in a kit.  
The large scallop circle was cut from Elegant Edges page 47 at 11 inches.  
The small red circle under the doily was from page 23 cut at 4.5 inches.
The title was cut from Nursery Rhymes at 2 inches 
Dandelions and Dandelion border from Storybook page 43 cut at 2.5 inches 
The I in wish was replaced with a dandelion cut.  
I added sticker letters so the full title is  " Make a Wish Upon a Dandelion" 
The Once Upon a time tage and the little words all came from the kit.  
They say bliss, happiness, joy and elation.These were pop dotted and inked on the edges.
I also used some crochet border and added Diamond Stickles to the ends of the dandelions.

I am really happy with the way this came out and love the colors.  
Thanks for looking and Happy Craftin.

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog- Out like a Lamb

Two weeks ago the FCCB challenge was "In like a Lion".  The second part of the challenge is "Out like a Lamb."  Before I tell you about my  double page layout let me apologize for the picture quality.  I didn't realize how bad they were and I already gave the pages to my daughter so I can't retake them. The last two pictures show the colors a little better.  
The  pictures are of my youngest granddaughter Brittany who is 8 months old.  
I used the DCWV French Country Stack which is so beautiful. 
The title Our little lamb was cut from the Cricut Nursery Rhymes Cart. 
Mary had a little Lamb and Little Bo Peep were also cut out from Nursery Rhymes.
I used Martha Stewart punches, crocheted flowers, Recollection flowers  and  Seam Binding ribbon.  
I hope you will join us for the FCCB challenge this week.  "Out like a lamb" Make a project using a gentle animal... lamb, kitten, puppy etc.... I can't wait to see everyone's projects.  
Happy Craftin!

Sun, Slides, Sand and Swing Layout

I found a great new challenge blog for layouts.  It is called 
Black with Two  For September the challenge is to use DOMINANT BLACK CARDSTOCK 
WITH YELLOW AND BLUE  and no other colors.  At first I thought black cardstock? -but I leafed through my pics and found these of my granddaughter Katie when we took her to the park and came up with this idea.  This was a really fun challenge and I am really happy with the way it came out. I am also entering this in The Paper Variety challenge which is to use your favorite embellishment.  Well I love using buttons!!!!!
Recipe- The swing and slide are cut at 3 inches from Pop-Up Neighborhood.  The title is cut from Nursery Rhymes at 1 1/2 inches.  The sun is cut at 4 inches from Hello Kitty.  I rotated the top cut with the shadow.  I also embossed and added stickles.  I removed the face with my Gypsy so I could use a Peachy Keen smiley face.  The sand is from Paper Dolls.  I then added paper mats using blue and some gingham paper which is light and bright yellow.  I finally embellished with blue and yellow buttons and Stickles on the sun.

Sweet Sassy Diva DT-Grammy and Papa Layouts for Grandparents Day 9/4

 The challenge this week for the Design Team at Sweet Sassy Diva was to design  a project for Grandparent's day.  I was excited to do this one.  Just nineteen months ago my life took a big change when I became a grandparent for the first time to sweet Katie bug.   Since then we have had two more precious little girls added to our family.  There is nothing better in the world than being a grandparent.  I am so lucky because two of them live only 1 1/2 hours away and the other 10 minutes away.  
Well on to my project.  I used paper from Reminisce that I got at the local LSS.  I loved all the different words on the paper for grandpas and grandmas.  I used Cricut decals for the grandpa and grandma cut at 4 inches with the shadow.  The kids were cut at 3 inches.  I then cut out the letters from Nursery Rhymes at 2 1/2 inches and 1 1/2 inches for the word and. Isn't this a great font? 
 The mats were embossed and then I added googly eyes.  
Sweet and simple 


Hope you enjoyed this layout and please come back all week to see what the rest of the Design Team has created for Grandparents Day.  Have gun craftin!
