You are Here! layout

More fun with Camping Critters on today's layout!  I cannot believe I waited for so long to get this cart, thinking I didn't need it.  It is SO fun!  I had a few more pictures from our canoe trip in June to scrap and used Camping Critters and Everyday Paperdolls.  The moose with the map and signs are from Camping Critters, while the canoe and paddles are from EDPD.  The title is actually the wood grain font from the Pooh Fonts cart.  I inked everything up with lots of brown chalk ink to give the edges some definition.

I'm going to link this to the Fantabulous Cricut challenge to make a camping project, involving tent, canoes, or bonfires.  

Snow White layout (Disney)

I am still SLOWLY working my way through my Disney pics from last year!  We snapped several fun pics inside of Snow White's Scary Adventure, including one of the wishing well, while we were on the ride.  I cut Snow White and the wishing well from the Happily Ever After cartridge, and added the apple, bird, border, and title.   I cut Snow White at 5 1/2 inches and had to do her eyes with gel pens, as the eye pieces were just too small to work with.

Edited to add:  I just realized I photographed this with the pages reversed-Snow White and the Wishing Well are supposed to be together!  Whoops!!!

Cricut:
Happily Ever After-all cuts
Paper-solid card stock is CM and Bo Bunny, print-Disney paper pack

Christmas in July card

Several challenges are doing Christmas in July right now, which is an incentive to get working on those Christmas cards!  I have not exactly been in a Christmas frame of mind, as the temperatures have been 100-105 here, but decided maybe it would make me FEEL cooler to do a winter project.  (Just for the record, it didn't...but I did get a card made!)  I used Phrases for the Merry Christmas and Elegant Edges for the shape underneath.

Phrases-title
Elegant Edges-shape

Swiss dots embossing folder
I'm going to link this to the Cardz TV and BBTB2 Christmas in July challenges.  

Wedding card

We are going to a wedding this weekend, so I made the card to go with our gift using the bride's colors.  The bride and groom are huge MU Tigers fans (met at a football game in fact), and the wedding colors are black, gold, and white-the MU colors!   I'm told they are even coming down the aisle at the end to the Tiger fight song!  We'll see if that turns out to be true.  (The bride has taught two of my boys in elementary school.)  I used the Sweethearts cartridge for the dress and rings and several of my embossing folders to give some texture, which brought out the dress a little more.  Stay tuned for the wedding gift, which I will post another day (I made a recipe book).

Cricut:
Sweethearts-all cuts
Stamp-SU Tagtastic set
Paper-from the stash

The Fantabulous Cricut challenge this week is wedding bliss, so I'm going to link my card to it.  

"Sweet" layout

I miss all the ice cream we ate on vacation (although my waistline is paying the price), so I did a layout of my pictures was of us eating ice cream!  I scrap lifted the base paper choices from a layout I saw that used the Miss Caroline Dilly Dally paper from My Mind's Eye, but then I had to change up the rest to suit my pictures and die cuts.  The title is cut from the Groovy Times cartridge (I used My Cut Search to find all the cartridges that had "sweet" on them-there are a LOT of choices) and the journaling spot is from Elegant Edges.  My yummilicious ice cream cone is the stretched version of of the cone on Stretch Your imagination, although none of the real cones we ate had quite that many scoops :)

Heat Wave layout

It was triple digit kind of hot for much of our recent vacation, so the kids spent a lot of time in the lake or the pool.  Our resort had multiple fabulous pools, which I of course had to take pictures of.  All the cuts on this layout are from Life As a Beach, including the oh so perfect title!  The stamp is from the K Andrews Splashtastic Summer set and paper is some old Bo Bunny Barefoot Bliss collection from my stash.  The little letter stickers are from an old Echo Park collection.

to my favorite chick card

The challenge this week at the Creative Cutter Room is to use a chick or chicken on a project.  My niece has a birthday coming up, so I used the cute little chick from Create A Critter and some stamps from My Pink Stamper.  The paper and stickers were part of my Echo Park Hello Summer pack.  I thought it came out girly and summery feeling!
