Stardust layout


This is a layout that I did using Close To My Hearts Stardust paper pack and stickease. I also got the idea of this layout from CTMH's Cherish book. The Cherish book is wonderful! It has 50 two page layout ideas! And the book is so easy to follow!!! The Stardust paper pack is great for boys! It has Moonstruck Blue and Topiary Green! I put pictures from when we went to the Porter Co. Fair on here. I left my blank space for journaling ~ which I will get to doing this weekend when I crop. I also did a little ink distressing and sanding. I thought the pages turned out pretty good.

Cricut Again!!!





I have been going crazy with my Cricut! Not only did I use the Cricut to accent my scrapbook area, I used it to write the word "Family" and put it in the hallway with all our pictures. I also used it to jazz up Tyler's toy room. When Tyler has his cousins over to play, they like to play school and have art class ~ so I made them an "Art Wall"; somewhere where they could hang up their pictures when they are done being artists! I don't want to over do it, I need to be careful!! Otherwise every room in my house will be CRICUTIZED!!!!!

Aspen Flip Flop Accordion Album



This is a flip flop accordion album that I made. I am going to put pictures of Tyler playing in the snow in it. I used the Aspen paper pack from Close To My Heart and accented with some stickers and embellishments I had on hand. These flip flop accordion albums are so easy to make and they make great gifts!

Step 2 ~ adding pictures!




Last September I added the paper and some embellishments to this My Creations Album and I was undecided about what pictures to put on it. But then going through some photos, I decided to use Kevin's 17th birthday pictures. We went out to dinner with him, his girlfriend and my in-laws and had a good time. We took so many pictures that I thought this would be the perfect little album to put them in!

My son Kevin's girlfriend, Morgan is such a sweetie! She made me this tray of goodies for my birthday! There were brownies, cookies, cupcakes that were filled with cherry filling and little pumpkin cakes! I have told her that she needs to become a baker after she graduates high school not go into nursing! LOL!!!! Everything is soooo yummy!!!!!!
Thank you Morgan!

Snow!!!!!


Snow! Snow! Snow! Here's a layout I did at the Hobart crop. I scrapbooked pictures of my son playing out in the snow. Tyler got so tired of being in the house, that I let him go out for a few MINUTES just to let off some steam! This has been one of the coldest winters! I actually took a picture of the actual temperature ~ -11.5 degrees ~ that's crazy!!!! (Tyler was not outside on this particular negative day! He was outside when it was above freezing!! I just put the temp. picture on there to show how cold of a winter it was!) Anyhow, when I decided to crop these pictures, I used the Aspen paper pack from Close To My Heart! The paper has such pretty shades of blue! It's perfect for scrapbooking all your snow pictures!!!!

Crazy Tyler Layout

This is another one of the double page layouts I did over the weekend. Tyler took a bunch of pictures of himself and I thought it would be fun to crop them! I used the new Stardust paper pack from Close To My Heart . I used pop dots on the space ship and the arrow to make them "step" out of the page. The colors are Honey (yellow), Moonstruck (blue), Topiary (green) and Bamboo. These are the perfect sheets of paper for boys.
