New Layouts

I've been scrapping here and there and thought I'd post a few layouts recently completed.  I'm pretty much caught up through October.  The first layout is from a fun pumpkin patch trip with Auntie Kitty.  The pumpkins are a cut from Create a Critter.

This next layout is from our trip to South Carolina.  I think I'm a little stuck on photo grids lately - so many cute photos that I want to fit into one layout.  The title is cut from Country Life and the journaling box is from Heritage.

This last layout is also from that October trip.  Very simple.  I think all three layouts mainly use DCWV stacks papers.  A coordinating stack makes it so easy to pull together quick layouts.  Thanks for looking!

Glitter & Bling

Practical Scrappers is having a "Glitter & Bling" challenge over on their blog, so I went all out. The glitter paper is from the Songbird DCWV stack (see post below for more on this stack). I also just got my Once Upon a Princess Cricut cartridge and was excited to play with it. I thought the Sugar & Spice title was perfect for my messy little cutie eating her St. Pat's day cupcake. I cut the shamrocks from Designer's Calendar - the green glitter used for those was actually from a sheet I had in my stash (originally meant for rub-ons - but worked even better here!). I also found some "stuff" in my odds & ends box to add bling - gems and shiny plastic flowers/shamrocks. This layout was a lot of fun to put together.

New Baby Book

Friends of ours are expecting their second baby and I made them a baby book to record all those miraculous first-year milestones. I was excited to find the album at ACMoore on deep clearance, so I brought it home and promptly took it apart to recover it. I used spray adhesive to adhere the new papers and sanded the edges for a better fit. Almost all the papers are from the new Songbird stack from DCWV - very cute. It's feminine, but not too girly. I think it turned out very cute and hope they enjoy it a lot. On the inside pages, the only real Cricut cut I used was for the names of the months (Designer's Calendar cartridge).

I had lots of little pieces left over after the album was completed, so I made some cute cards and gave them to our church card ministry to use. What a great stack of paper!
