She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy!

I recently taught a private Design Studio lesson and my student wanted this layout created.  So create we did!  I think that the finished product turned out pretty cute.  Be sure and let me know what you think of it!

In creating this layout we used Cricut Expression, Cricut Design Studio, the Mickey Font Cricut Cartridge, the Plantin' Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge and the Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut Cartridge.  The Cardstocks are from American Craft and Prism.  Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Adhesive Glue was used to assemble the entire layout.  Other items used in embellishing the layout were:  Copic Markers, a Signo White Gel Pen and a Sakura Micron 01 Pigma Pen.

It is once again the time of year when we celebrate our Independence! Many of you may spend this time with your family and friends! Whether your family traditions include picnics, fireworks and just spending quality time with family and friends, this is the perfect layout to highlight that perfect photo!

This is the layout featured in the Crafty Kimber section! I have been asked to post the .cut file here on my blog for everyone's use!

The 4th of July layout was created using the Cricut Design Studio and the Cricut Expression along with the 12x24 mat. I have used the Latest Cricut Cartridges to create this layout including the new Stand and Salute Cricut Cartridge, The New Simply Sweet Cricut Cartridge and Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge. It was created using American Craft and Bazzill Cardstocks! (They both cut like a dream on the Cricut!)

If you would like to be able to make this layout for your family I have provided this .cut file for your personal use. NOTE: Please do not make this layout to sell or claim as your own. If you know someone who might like this .cut file, please refer them to my blog.

If you make this layout, I would love to see your version of it! Please send a link to it by posting a comment or feel free to email me a picture! Happy Scrappin'!

I used the Stickles and Smooches to create more depth in the fireworks. Be sure to let them dry thouroghly! It will take most of the day, possibly 2 days for them to completely dry!

Under the Ocean Candy/Snack Bucket!

So, I have to say that I may have a new favorite Cricut Cartridge! I just love the new Life's A Beach Cricut Cartridge! I have had more fun playing with it creating amazing under the sea beach scenes! I decided to take my layout off of the page and instead put in on a candy/snack bucket! Who knew I would have so much fun adding all the little details!

I used Life's A Beach, Plantin Schoolbook and Word Builders 3 An Ocean of Words to create this bucket. I also used Cricut Design Studio to manipulate the fish, seaweed and coral to the sizes and length I was looking for.

Be sure and let me know what you think by commenting!

I was having way too much fun creating this layout! As you can see, I was creating this for a Zutter Book that is not quite finished yet.
I used Design Studio, Plantin Schoolbook, Storybook, George and Basic Shapes and Indie Art to create this layout! The papers that were used are by Prism Cardstock and Basic Grey.





Let me know what you think of it!
P.S. I will be taking new pictures of this layout once I purchase a new camera! This photo was taken with my iphone! Sorry it is not such a wonderful picture!

Recipe Swaps.....Here I come!

Our Local Scrapbooking Store, Simply Scrapbooks is sponsoring a Recipe Swap! Of course I had to join in! We ended up with 2 seperate swap groups. One has 20 people participating and the other has 21 people participating. There was a 6 month commitment to join so we will end up with 120 recipes once all is said and done for the first swap and 141 recipes in the second swap! I am so excited and wanted to share my layouts with you!

The October Recipe Swap was appetizers/Drinks. Here are the recipes that I created for that swap!

Happy Birthday Banner

I thought that this would be the perfect way to create a unique project using the Zutter. My daughter, Anika's birthday is the end of this month so I was really killing 2 birds with one stone! This will be the perfect sign for her birthday party!

Wonderfully Warm Tea Cup Album

With winter fast approching I though that a hot drink book would be just the thing to warm me up on a chilly fall or winter day! Sometimes I could even use it during the summer as my husband is very hot natured and keeps out air conditioning on 67 degrees F! I tend to freeze! Hope that you enjoy it and the recipes!
