Some Layouts And Free STUFF

Good morning crafty friends,

I just wanted to share a few layouts I have been working on recently. Normally I make “sample” pages that have just photo mattes and no pictures. But these are for a friend of a friend who is currently putting together books for her three adult children. So there was a lot to scrapbook. 

My Sweet Girls Layout

This layout is pretty simple. Nothing too fancy. The little girls on this layout are so precious looking! There were 8 photos to get on here, so we didn’t want to take away from any of them.

Cartridge used: Hello Kitty Font

Large letters: 2.5” Shadowed

Small Letters: 1.5” Shadowed

Large Butterfly: 3.5”

Small Butterfly: 2.5”

Childhood Memories Layout

This layout showcased several photos of different special occasions. Because these boys are twins, I made two Indian Bears.

I created this layout using the following cartridges:

Indian Bears: Paper Doll Dress Up

Childhood Title: Robotz and Gypsy (To Weld)

If you don’t have the Gypsy, you can still cut out the letters from the Robotz Cartridge alone.  The letters are approximately 2.25” high.

The memories title block is one that I created. You can download the FREE jpg file below. You can also download the FREE Gypsy File for the “Childhood” Title. You will need a Gypsy and the Robotz Cartridge for it to work.

Giddy Up Layout

I honestly can’t remember if I shared this one before. So I am doing it again. This layout was pretty simple. I used the following cartridges:

Horse: Boys Will Be Boys

Giddy Up Title: Disney/Pixar Toy Story

I also used some buttons and some Cappuccino Twine from the The Twinery to make a “faux rope” to decorate the photo matte.

8th Grade Graduation Layout

Here is another simple layout. I used the following cartridges:

Number and Letter for title: 3 Birds-Life’s A Party

Graduation Cap: Everyday Pop-Up Cards

Gypsy To Weld Them Together.

I created the “Graduation” title block. I used some Twine from The Twinery to create the “tassel” on the grad cap. If you would like the title, you can download the Gypsy file below.

Well, I think that is it for today. I don’t want to overload you. I will share some more tomorrow

Cartridge Spotlight

Hi Everybody!
This is Chef Jenny, and today I'm excited to share my project for the Cooking With Cricut's Cartridge Showcase.  Each Monday a member of our Design Team features a Cricut cartridge of their choice and projects we've made with that cartridge. We hope you'll be inspired to pull out your cartridges and find new ways to use them!  I chose the Toy Story cartridge.  I LOVE Toy Story, and while this cartridge is still as challenging as the other Disney carts, it is just as rewarding!!  One feature I think is awsome on this cart is the ICON feature.  All the Disney carts have it, but on the TS cart a lot of the icons are retro versions of the characters!  So I decided to cut the Jessie icon.  Here's how my card turned out:

*Toy Story cartridge = Jessie (icon button), frame and layers

*Pink By Design = Best in the West set 

*added yellow flowers from my stash

*bling from Michaels

*Post-it Craft paper

*kraft paper from Joanns

Isn't that too cute?!?!  I love the "feel" of that cut.  Here are a couple of other projects I've made with this cart.  Please click on the titles if you'd like to check out some more pictures of that project :oD
