BLOGIVERSARY CHALLENGE: Monochromatic Color Challenge!

Cricut Circle BLOGIVERSARY Monochromatic Color Challenge

For this challenge I used the "Exclusive Cricut Circle Sophie" Cartridge for the  1/2 circle Doily's, "Give a Hoot" Cartridge for the Leaves and Layered Flower and the "Graphically Speaking" Cartridge for the "remember" title.

This LO acts as the introductary LO from our combined family vacation to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Az and the Polar Express Train in Williams, Az.  This was such a wonderful family vacation with another one of our closest families and I am still working on completing the album for each of my children!

My Lil' Golfer

This is a 2 page LO I created to signify the first time my son used his real golf clubs.  He received these clubs for his 6th birthday from his grandparents and couldn't wait to use them.  I used a variety of carts to create these 2 pages.  The first page of the LO I created from a variety of ideas I had collected in my head, however, I must pay credit where credit is due and page 2 of the LO is completely inspired by one of Kimberly Garofolo's (http://kimberlygarofolo.typepad.com/capturing_the_moments/). 

Page 1 of LO

I used PC "Sports Mania" cartridge for the "Golf Addict".  Clouds are from "April Showers" cartridge, sun is from the "Word Builders - an Ocean of Words".  I used ink to color up the sun and clouds.  The grass and flags was left over Jolee products I had in my stash.

LO Page 2

Here I used the "Varsity Letters" cartridge to create the "Swing" and the "April Showers" cartridge for the cloud.  The poem is a short one I picked up from scrapbook.com.

Thanks for Looking :)

MIA Update!

With my sons birthday, along with baseball winter ball season, daughters cheer...etc., etc., etc.  I have been missing in action.  However, I am feverishly designing for my first Design Team and Blog Hop experience and cannot wait to share!  Look out for the posts the weekend of October 8th!! 

Meeting a Legend LO

I made this LO, using Plantin Schoolbook and MS Seasonal Cake Cricut cartridges for the decorative penants & stars.  This was an awesome moment for my little guy!  He got to meet a real baseball legend at the game where he and his Little League team were the stars on the field with the real players!  It was such a wonderful night for the entire family!

Back to School Time

1st Day of School LO for my Son!  Used several different cricut cartridges for this one: George Fonts/Shapes for Circle, Birthday Bash for Banner Triangles, Sweet Treats for Layers Floral Embellishment and Gypsy Wanderings for the Large Background Scallop.
