BBTB2: Mittens, and Caps and Scarfs for All

 I am really loving putting together my winter layouts this year.  I guess because it's so cold I haven't wanted to go do anything outside and have stayed in my craft room using my Explore.  Here is a winter layout of my grandson and pictures of his 1st birthday. He's a boy, so I had no doubt that he would be making a mess of that chocolate frosting.

Our lovely hostess for BBTB2 this week is Melanie, from Courtney Lane Designs.  She selected warm mittens, scarfs or caps/hats from Cricut cuts to use in a card or project.  Link up your project on our BBTB2 blog - here is the link:  BBTB2.

Cuts include Winter Frolic for the "winter wonderland" Holiday Cakes for the Mitten, Winter Woodland for the Hat, and Christmas Cheer for the adorable Snowman.  Adornments are a blue button, a doily, Stickles for snow, and skittles from "A Busy Bee".

Christmas Figurines Layout

Our challenge today at BBTB2 is to showcase one of our hobbies.   I have lots of hobbies, one of them is collecting Lefton and other brands of Christmas figurines.  It started out with collecting angels, and then I added in cute little girls, and Santas, and choir boys, ==== well, you get the picture.  I also collect lady heads (bottom left pic), and put my Christmas ones on display.   This is just some of my collection, I probably have about double what is shown in the top picture, but because I have a 2 yr old granddaughter around once in a while, I didn't want to risk an 'accident'.

I used several Cricut cartridges on this one.  The 'vintage' tag is from Forever Young, the bracket is from Home Accents, the "I Collect" is from Suburbia.  The ornament is from Christmas Cheer, the word Christmas and Figurines, as well as the journaling tag are from Artbooking.  The poinsettias are from Celebrate with Flourish.

Come on over to visit our talented BBTB2 designers and see how they presented their hobbies.

Ready for Winter - Snow Layout

This week's challenge at Bitten by the Bug is Winter.  It doesn't snow in my area of Northern California, but lately it's sure cold enough that we feel like we live in the Sierras.  Here is a layout I did of a few of the portraits I had purchased of my granddaughter all dressed up for Winter.  Head on over to BBTB2 to see what else our great designers have to share this week.

The word "SNOW" was done with Speaking of Winter cartridge and the cute little penguin is from the Christmas Cheer Cricut Cartridge.   Stay warm everyone!

Angel Snow Globe

Here is my entry for the Angel swap. The idea was to come up with as many angel cuts as we could --- there are baby angels, angel in my pocket, cupid angels, paper doll angels, glitter angels, dog angels, etc.
