Craft With Sarah: Cricut - Happy Halloween Banner

How do you like this banner?  It's a big one - about 28" across.  I downloaded the design from "Craftwithsarah.com".  She has a lot of layered svg files for free and also for sale.  This awesome project was free a few weeks ago.   It is a monster - taking me about 5 hours to cut, and another couple of hours to assemble.  It used 40 mats - like I said, a big project and it used lots of cardstock.

Some of the layers were glued, and others pop-dotted.  Assembly was fairly straight forward, she provides instructions.  The background piece in purple took 6 12"x12" sheets.  They are taped and glued together to form the base.  This was a fun project to work on at the Sacramento Scrapbook Expo crop, as I didn't need to bring lots of scrapbooking supplies.  I have it hanging on the inside of my front door, I don't think it would hold up well hanging outside.   Check out Sarah's website - there are lots of animals, seasonal designs, and bundles.     

Happy Halloween everyone!

Scrapbook Layout: Let's Roast Marshmallows

 
It's been a while since I've posted.  I was so sad that the Bitten By the Bug challenge group could not continue - I was a designer there for over 6 years.  My crafting time and energy took a drop once I did not have a deadline to make a post for the group.   I have been crafting a bit here and there, making things for the grandkids baseball and soccer teams.  I'll post some of those soon.  

I made a layout, pretty quick and simple, but so bold!   I took several pictures of my youngest grandson toasting marshmallows this summer.  He loves to catch them on fire and blow them out.  He's good for at least two s'mores and roasting a marshmallow or two for his Nonno.  

I participated in a camping die cut swap a year or so ago and received these 3 die cuts. I do not think she used a Cricut for the cuts, as I don't see them in Design Space.  So Cute!! It all came together when I found the perfect paper from a camping themed stack.  You don't see my journaling, which was done under the right picture and in a box on the bottom right.  Isn't this just the cutest layout?
