Another Song Challenge

This week's song at Scrap it With a Song is Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors". I picked up on the line "and that's why I love you" for the title for a layout featuring my loves. This was a quick one - I really like pairing a bright color with blacks/greys lately. The letters are cut with the Designer's Calendar font.

Scrap a Song Challenge

A new challenge site just started up and it's called Scrap It With a Song. A song is posted each Monday to inspire your creativity. This week Elton John's, "Your Song" is the choice. I took the title and a couple of pics of my Hannah and me playing on a piano. I used my Hannah Montana cart for the patterned circle and the flowers and treble clef. The letters for the title are from Designer's Calendar. Visit Scrap It With a Song for more great ideas!

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!
