Fish Kisses

Here's my second set of pages from my "Back In Time" Project Life Album. The Challenge at Stuck on U Sketches is to use a card that has a heart Cut out.  I pulled out my Artbooking Cartridge as I knew it had a heart inside a circle that I thought would work. 

I cut some of washi tape into banners, added the heart rhinestone and the heart cut out with another piece of washi tape banner.  Honestly I don't know how everyone photographs their project life pictures. The flocking in the bottom looks so much better in real life.

I used the banners as my title page and this is the last of the yellow rhinestone hearts.
The journaling reads: "I snapped a few pictures of the boys making "fish kisses" to send to Grandma."

Waiting for the ferry

I'm starting of with a couple of pages for the guys using my Counterfeit Kit called "Back In Time" Project Life Album.  The notes from Mom and Dad's album were sometime in 1991.

 

I used the Cricut to cut the "Ferry" out of the Going Places cartridge.  I know it's not a real ferry but it was the closest, I added a couple of heart rhinestones to the windows as both Dale and I used to ride them to work. I didn't have enough of the capital R's so I used two small ones instead.

 I used the D'Vine Swirl embossing folder on all of the red cardstock. I added the stamped birdies as they reminded me of the sea gulls.

The above picture shows the layout in the sheet protectors. The journaling reads: It was always an adventure waiting for the ferry. Running on the beach, chasing sea gulls, picking up sea glass, rocks and sea shells.

Blizzard coming

I've finally finished the layout for the Stuck on You Sketch challenge I started with my Counterfeit kit. .  I started it earlier and changed my mind as to what pictures I was going to use and there it sat.

We have had a really cold winter here in Minnesota. So much so that classes have been cancelled and the schools are working maybe adding days to the school year this spring.  Saturday the weather forecast was cold, getting colder and a blizzard on the way.   I snapped a picture of the start of the blizzard.

For the layout I used my Cricut to cut the tan mat. I outlined all the edges then distressed them. 

Thanks for stopping by.

1st Birthday - 2 pager

On Fridays Stuck On U Sketches post a new challenge and this weeks was a double page layout. I've been following their blog for a couple weeks now and just love all the inspiration those gals have. I also posted on the Cricut Message boards for the Cartridge Exploration which was Graphically Speaking.

I need to make a couple of Birthday pages and decided to use the sketch for this layout. I used Design Studio to design the whole 2 page layout. I have pop up dots behind the wild haired smiley faces and the paper dolls. The photo mats on the first page will hold 3x5 photos with a 1/4 inch border and the second page is a 5x7 photo.

Then I had to make a girl one. I just love how the paper dolls turned out. I had everything put together before I realized that I for got to put faces on the dolls.

I used Graphically Speaking for the "One" background layer and the wild haired smiley face.

Paper Dolls for Everyday for the boy and girl

Accent Essentials: label

Plantin Schoolbook: 1, st, birthday (st and birthday are welded together.

George: Photo mats and background layers.
