For Me? layout of two grandbabies

This layout is of my two granddaughters. I love this picture.  Katie was so excited to hold her new little sister.

The frame was cut from Elegant Edges page 26- oblong cut and shadow.  The tag and pocket are from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.  The tag is page 89 cut at 3.75 and the envelope page 112 cut at 7 inches.  On the tag I used a little alphabet stamp set and stamped Sisters Forever.  The For Me?  is Tim Holtz Grunge board colored with Alcohol inks in Sunshine yellow, Citrus, and Sailboat blue.    The Love in the center of the flower circle is from Home Accents and is cut at 4 inches.  The green layer is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.

I am entering this in several challenges.  The first is Lasting Memories which was to follow a sketch and use a tag.  

The second is Blog Quick Quotes which is to do a single picture layout.  

The third is Frosted Designs Recipe challenge - where you had to choose 4 items from a list to use.  I used the following 6 items from the list- yellow, ribbon, chipboard, flowers, ink and buttons.  

I am also entering this in the Cricut Circle challenge- which was to have a title, 2 cuts and a minimum of three buttons.  

Since I do double page layouts I also did this 2nd page to go with the first.

Pool Baby Chillin layout

I got one layout done today before I left to go to visit my other two granddaughters for the weekend.  I used the Cricut Cartridge Pack Your Bags.  I am entering this is the Amanda's Crafts and More challenge which was to Make a Splash (a water themed layout.) The Cricut 360 challenge which is "Relax" (My granddaughter is definitely relaxed). Also the Cooking It Up With Katie use something wet, brads and a border.  I used a wide sea animal border on each side.  

I added a pink hat on title.

Hawaiian shirt birthday card for hubby

This is the card I made for the Cricut Cardz Challenge which is to make something with summer apparel or accessories.  I chose the Hawaiian shirt from Pack Your Bags to make a card for my hubs birthday.   My husband loves to wear Hawaiian shirts so I chose some paper that is similar to the colors he likes.  I used a  MS punch with shells and sand dollars  on the side and corners.  I chalked the edges and added little buttons.  

BBTB2 Challenge- Card using Sunglasses

The BBTB2 challenge this week was to make a project using sunglasses.  I was going to use the sunglasses on Paisley and then I found this cut on Pack Your Bags.  Since I haven't used it yet I cut the flip flops and crab from  Pack Your Bags.  The wave is from Life's A Beach.  I used a MS PATP  for the edges.  Used Stickles on the waves, added tiny flower beads to sandles,  chalked all the edges, added ribbon, and two tiny shells I found on a recent beach trip.
