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. 



Cricut Circle August Monthly Challenge

Create the scene challenge:

I chose to use the Country Life Cartridge to create this farm scene from my sons "Farm Days" in Kindergarten!

Thank you to Michele Kovack!

I am just simply thrilled beyond belief!  I was selected as the winner of Michele's Paper and Pixels Blog Candy!  I won a Gypsy as well as 2 cartridges!  I could not be more thankful and excited!  I wanted to be sure to give proper thanks to Michele http://chelemom.blogspot.com/ and to Paper and Pixels (a great resource for inspirations and techniques!) http://papersandpixels.com/!

Camping LO

Here is a camping LO I created using Bo Bunny and Cosmo Cricut Papers.  I also used my cricut machine to add embellishments using the Camping Critters and Camp Out Solutions Cartridge(s).  I did use an idea LO for this page, unfortunately I saved it a while ago and cannot remember the source.  Thank you for looking :)

I'm a roll getting this vacation in the books!  Here's another LO I did amongst many others!  This is all Cosmo Cricut Early Bird collection!

Crafty Chicks Summer Challenge #2

Wynn brings us this week’s challenge. She says,

“Create a layout and “Capture the Details!” Scrap about something so familiar you tend to take it for granted. Maybe it’s the books on your bookshelf or your refrigerator artwork that you might see all the time and your family might not know why.”

I took this challenge to heart and although my house is torn apart from remodeling, I have my craft area still in tact....so with that said, I know that I am working on my daughter's 9th birthday, but then it hit me....I want to capture the details in her.  I see her everyday and life takes hold of us and we forget our children's facial expressions, excitement and innocence.  Thus I made this LO to capture her joy and excitement as we sang happy birthday to her.  Although for safety issues, I have blocked her face, ther expressions are truly priceless and they definately "Capture the Details" and "moment". 

For this LO, I used the Gypsy Shapes for the floral background and the Hannah Montana Cart for the butterflies.
