Gathering My Family 4 Fun Layout.

I made this layout because we LOVE to have dessert. Honestly, quite a bit too much but my daughter loves to bake and we love to eat….so you get the picture…lol! I will put a picture of each of my children and hubby on this layout eating something deeeelish!!!

Close up of “pie” die cut from Block Party. I used some Distress stickles to give it that texture on the top. I didn’t want glittery but rather “sugary”. The Baker is also from the Block Party Cartridge. I did use my gypsy to “hide” her facial features.

Close up of the tags with Vellum letters.
These were from the Quick Quotes Club Q kit.

Close up of vellum quote. This is from the Itty Bitty Box Quotes: Babies, Kids & Family.

Design note: I ran this quote through my cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder to give it that little extra texture. The dots are raised and turned white!

Movie Night Fun Layout

I used my Cricut and some software to make this layout. The other thing we LOVE to do is watch movies. So we have “movie nights” pretty often.  This project is available as a kit from PaperCraftingWorld.com. You can go directly HERE to purchase it.

Here is a close up of two of the little bears enjoying their treats.

Picnic Time Layout

Here is a layout I made for a few challenges. They are a TON of fun! They wanted us to mask something. So I used the negative of the clouds cut from Stand and Salute Cartridge and Inked the Clouds onto the blue paper. With all the mats and things on the page, you can hardly see the clouds, but they are there :-) Hope you enjoy!
