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.

Challenge #45: Sailboat

Good morning, crafty friends!

In honor of Columbus setting sail on this date in 1492, the Design Team was challenged to incorporate a sailboat or sailboat inspired theme into their projects. 

On the evening of August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus departed from Palos de la Frontera, Spain, with three ships; one larger carrack, the Santa María, nicknamed Gallega (the Galician); and two smaller caravels, the Pinta (the Painted) and the Santa Clara, nicknamed Niña after her owner Juan Niño of Moguer.   During this first voyage, instead of reaching Japan as he had intended, Columbus landed in the Bahamas archipelago, at a locale he named San Salvador.

OK!  History lesson over . . . take it away, ladies!

BFF Layout-Cricut

Here is my project for the Pile It On Challenge Blog. Plus we had to use either plastic or some other type of stretchy material in our projects.

For my plastic or stretchy material, I used Magic Mesh along the bottom of the pink borders and I wrapped the photo mat with it. This is something that has been around for a long time :-)

Closeup of the title. I used Songbird and Wall Decor and More.

Here is a closeup of the cute Bugaboo Stamp!

I printed these cuties out and colored them with my Copics.

Cricut Cartridges:

• Songbird to cut the "My" title. Cut @ 2" both font and shadow.
• Wall Decor and More. Cut the BFF title. Cut @ 2.25" Cut "B" with Monogram Feature.
• Bloom. Cut the flowers @ 2" and 1.5". I cut the 6 point flower: 2nd row from bottom, 4th key from left.
