November 26, 2009 -- Happy Thanksgiving to All.
Here is a photo I scrapped of my husband and son, along with good friends at the InterMilan soccer game in August. I have had it hanging up in a frame in the entry. It was simple to make but I wanted a bold statement - what better than the Italian flag. Letters are Cricut Plantin Schoolbook - blue and then shadowed in black. thx. Maureen

Like Mother, Like Daughter Layout

This is my favorite layout by far. It took me several hours to create. The colors are much brighter in real life. I took this picture of my daughter and me by holding out the camera and shooting back at us. It turned out great for a "quick shot". Used Cricut Plantin Schoolbook for the lettering, can't remember where the swirls came from. Rose from Indie Art.

Indian Summer 12x12 Layout for a Cricut Swap

This was the first swap I did on the Cricut Messageboard. I had a theme of Fall, so I created 6 sets of this one page layout. I spend quite a bit of time designing it, and then putting it all together. I like how it turned out. I got back some very nice Xmas, winter, and Halloween layouts in the swap....

Recipe Swaps

Here are some pics of recent recipe swaps I participated in on the Cricut Message Board. I had to make 10 or 12 of each layout, send them in to the hostess and then I received that number of different recipe cards back at the end of the swap. These are 8x8".
