30 Days of Creativity Challenge - Day 28 - Weekend Cricut Class Conference and Fall Fun! Layout using Creative Memories Cartridge!

I have been super busy this whole weekend!  I had a wonderful group of Creative Memories Consultants and Customers come to Aiken for a Cricut Classes weekend!  They learned so much about the Cricut and we all had so much fun the whole weekend!

They kicked off the weekend on friday night at my house coming to see my studio and eating Chili and Baked Potatoes.  We talked and fellowshipped for hours.  These ladies were amazing and so excited to see the Cricut Imagine.

On Saturday, we kicked off the day with the Trick Or Treat Layout and the ladies had a blast learning all about Stickles and I must say, I think they are all addicted to them!  We followed that class us by eating a wonderful lunch at Atlanta Bread Company and when we arrived back at the hotel I taught them the Basic Cricut Class followed by the Cheerful Seasons Fall Fun! Layout Class.  The ladies could not wait to get started on scrapping after those classes and I headed home for an Awards Banquet with my wonderful husband Barton.

After dinner, I headed back to see how all the ladies were coming along and let me tell you, they were making good use of everything they had learned!  The pages they were making were amazing!

This morning was kicked off with Breakfast with everyone followed by a Design Studio Class and I think they are completely hooked!  I have made Cricut Finatics out of them all!

I want to send out a special Thanks to all of the wonderful ladies who put their Cricut knowledge in my hands this weekend!  You all were great!

Here is one of the layouts classes the ladies participated in this weeked!  This is my Day 28 - 30 Days of Creativity Challenge!  I used the Cricut Expression and Cheerful Season Cricut Cartridge to create this layout!

30 days of Creativity Challenge - Day 26 - One of my favorites! An Adorable Kittens Project "Recipe" Layout!

Ok, So I think this is one of my very most favorite layouts I have created in quite a while!  It is my Double Crochet Hat and Double Crochet Scarf Patterns that I made into an 8x8 layout!    The brown "ground" cardstock on the bottom is actually a pocket!  The adorable kittens and the unwound yarn are glued to the pocket and are from the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite Cartridge.  The Hat is a combination of The Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons Cricut Cartridge and The George and Basic Shapes Cricut Cartridge.  The Scarf is from The Speaking Of Winter Cricut Cartridge that was layered.  I think I have a new favorite for titles and it is The Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons Cricut Cartridge.  I just love how the letters are mismatched!
