Yosemite Layout and Special Treat For You!

Oh Happy Friday Paper Lovers!

I am SOOO glad it's Friday!  How about you?   We've had a bit of a cool spell this past week.  Only in the 80's, however, this weekend it's suppose to get HOT again!  Thank goodness our pool will back in working order tomorrow.  We unexpectedly had to have some major work done :(   I'll post some before and after pictures next week.  I'm hoping that with this remodel, I'll be using it more frequently!

I also wanted to share a layout of my trip to Yosemite!  Can you believe I just went last week for the first time and I already have a layout completed?!

I added a bit of stickles to the mountains and to the bear's badge.

I just need to add the journaling!

Don't you just love these paper pins from Tim Holtz, I don't know if that's the correct name :)

I ran the badge and the letters through the embossing folder.

My Creative Time ~ Scrappy Monday Layout Challenge!

Hello Everyone!

And a happy Monday to you!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  Mine was busy and relaxing at the same time.  I got a lot of things done, but also did somethings for myself!  I'm not going to keep you too long with my stuff since there is alot to see and this is my first of two posts today!

This week's challenge at My Creative Time is a sketch challenge and to incorporate any type of "Fibers" onto our layout! example: jute, burlap, twine, hemp etc...Good thing I just happen to know where I can get some fibers and trims! :)

I hope you don't get tired of see layouts without photos.  I made this for a wedding we will be going to this weekend!  It will be the first time I've had my girls together since Christmas. As they get older, it's harder to get a family picture!  So I'm planning ahead!

Family Rules "Subway" Sign

Oh I'm so happy it's Saturday!  I have a full day planned! Of what you ask?  Cleaning and crafting!  Next week I'm in a week long blog hop that I have to get ready for, plus someother projects!

Well, I have been wanting a European Subway Sign for a long time.  Then one day I saw a "Family Rules" sign in the same style on Pinterest (which I'm still not quite sure I understand) and just loved it!  Then last week or so on the Circle Blog, they had the same sign up along with their take on it.  I thought, that's it, I'm making one.  So YES, I completely "scraplifted" this entire project!  However, I did make a video to show exactly how to do it.  Now you can make your own "family rules" sign!

I did fail to mention in the video that I used my gypsy to create the whole layout on the 12 x 24 mat. 

recipe:

board

vinyl and transfer tape

black & ivory spray paint

Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge

Base Camp Cricut Cartridge

Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge

Nate's ABC Cricut Cartridge

Enjoy!

Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge!

Howdy Ho!

I hope you're enjoying your week so far...mine is so busy, but that's what make life fun!  Welcome to the Terrific Tuesday Challenge with Scrappy Moms Stamps, this week we are using Paisley cartridge.  Well guess what, that's a cartridge I don't have!  I can hardly believe it myself!  So I decided to use Nate's ABC's because it had a similar pair of rain boots.  That's what's awesome about their challenge, if you don't have a cartridge they're using just pick a similar cut from another cartridge!  Now on to my card...

recipe:

Nate's ABC's Cricut Cartridge

rain boots scene cut at 3.90 x 3.12

I cut the umbrella off and the scene twice and did some paper piecing

Lacy Labes Cricut Cartridge

scallop circle for the card 5.65 x 5.19 each and welded

top layer circle cut 5.39 x 5.19

Crystal Effects for the puddle
