Princess 2 page Layout

I finished up these layouts this week. I made 5 sets for a baby layout swap on the cricut message board. I also am submitting this to the "Getting Scrappy Challenge" at http://amandascraftsandmore.blogspot.com/ on her November 20th 2011 post. The requirement was a layout with embossing. I have embossed the horse and the castle, they might be hard to see. The castle turned out nice with the 'brick' embossing. I got the inspiration from a Xmas layout in a scrapbook magazine. If I find it, I will post it. Princess word, horse and castle from OUAP, the crown from Indie Art.

Nor Cal Swarm - Crop for the Cure

Hi -- I had a blast at the Nor Cal Swarm this past weekend. 140 ladies, most with Cricuts, spending the day scrapbooking and Cropping for the Cure in Rocklin, CA. There was door prizes, cartridges for everyone, food, silent auction, and a raffle for a Pink Ribbon Quilt. I loved to shop, and did my share. While walkin around I saw ladies working on cards, cruise and Halloween layouts, and Monique's kits. I borrowed the Paisley cart from a new friend, and went to town cutting lots of words and hair dryers (my daughter is a hairdresser). It took me two nights to put this layout together and visits to two scrapbook stores to find the "ribbon" paper. I used lots of carts on this layout. (Home Accents, Home Decor, Cindy Loo, A Childs Year, George, Indie Art, and WIMG) It was fun, yet emotional to make. I am going to write the names of friends who have survived breast cancer around the edges of the pages. Enjoy.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY LAYOUT

Here is a 2 page layout I just completed for St. Patrick's Day. LUCKY is from Indie Art and the rest of the cuts are from PDDU. I had fun creating this, as I wanted to document my holiday displays, not just trips and people.

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.
