Magnolia Mini Pizza Fudge Boxes

So one of my favorite Scrappers, ( I have to say that cause I babysit her little guy) just kidding, I love her dearly was doing a fundraiser for Make A Wish and so I wanted to donate a little something..although, they had so much, our community really pulled through and they raised over $1500 and will be doing a walk the end of May and will be looking for sponsors, so if you didn't get to participate in this one, maybe you can in the walk. Our son received a wish in his senior year, right after graduation and I'll tell you it was totally a dream come true...and there were times I could hardly keep the tears from coming as I saw him so enjoy his dream come true.

So here are my little Magnolia Mini Pizza boxes that I got either from Jen or someone else online, can't remember but when I do, I will give them credit. These sold right off, so I guess I should've made more. These can be made larger so that you could put cards inside for a nice gift.

 
If you own a Cricut, here is an excellent software that allows you to cut
any True Type font with your machine, as well as many cliparts can now be
traced within the program turning them into an svg format, this feature alone
makes getting SCAL2 worth it as you will never need to purchase any carts.
There are thousands of files out there for you to download for free or for a
small fee that you can cut with your Cricut. I must say I use this software for
almost every layout I have done when using my Cricut. I actually use it more
than cartridges....don't tell Provo :)

My Coach purse made with my Cricut

Here is my Coach purse that I made with my Cricut, thanks to JenC...she has so many awesome ideas...I was making it for sale, it was holding some incredible double chunk fudge that I made up...and I liked it so much, that I couldn't sell it, and I did a bad boo boo...I ate the fudge too. rrrrgh
I think we are going to do this in a class on a Saturday in June, so be watching. I used SurecutsAlot to cut out the purse pattern...if you haven't tried SurecutsAlot (SCAL) you can download a trial of it and just play with it...and you will be hooked...I use this program pretty much daily. It really makes owning the Cricut worthwhile as you can cut so much more with it and are not limited to just the cartridges.

Spring Layout Class

This is our class for Monday May 11th, and we had a new student, welcome Sally to our class. We actually did our class in the store because there was a neat little baby shower going on in the back...and then something even more exciting happened when almost everyone else left...He got down on his knees, and he proposed to her!!!!! How exciting, and either today or tomorrow there will be a new baby girl born to this sweet young couple...congratulations.

So as you can see our page really looks spring/summery (is that a word)? Well if not it is now! Hehehehe
I hope you enjoy our layout...I used the Cricut to cut the flower petals, the George Cartridge, and I used the Surecutsalot program to cut the May and shadow.
Enjoy

April month page layout

Our scrappers have been doing a page to represent each month so that when we are finished, some of them plan to create their calendar for next year. So tonight we did our April page. This page has some adorable embellishments that we had to ink, and do a little drawing, and paper piecing. Some of the girls have never done paper piecing so it was a new task for them. I think everyone did a wonderful job. Thank you Lisa, for the bunny pattern that we used in our layouts created with the Surecutsalot program. The other cutouts were from my Cricut cartridges, or cartridges that I borrowed from Gloria...(Thank you so much Gloria for being so generous and donating your cartridges so that we can have some really gorgeous pages).

You will also notice that our little friend Riley came back to class...He is quite the scrapper. He knows how to use the tools and pretty much does his pages all by himself...even lending a hand to help his mom and others. I think it is so neat that he is learning this art of preserving memories and using his creative skills to create his very own album...I hope we can get some other boys and girls interested in taking up scrapbooking.

Basketweave layout

Here are pages that we did a couple of weeks ago...These pages came out beautiful. Each scrapper chose a background patterned cardstock and then 3 colors of patterned paper or solid cardstock and then they were to weave strips in and out of the background paper. The colors they chose were absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had a picture of everyone's layout, hopefully I will get their pictures so I can post them for you...This was a fun class and everyone did such a great job...I'm so proud of these ladies.

Srap Mania Weekend

So this past weekend, I had the privilege to be a part of the Scrapbook Mania Weekend. We had about 17 to 20 ladies there working on different projects. We had some unbelievably good food. There was a class that was offered for a Winter themed accordion book. There were door prizes about every hour and grand prize was won by Rebecca...Congratulations!!!!
I think everyone there had a great time, I know I sure did. Here are a few pictures that I got to take when I wasn't busy cutting with my Cricut or working on my layouts or stuffing my face :) Thanks to Lisa and Bev and all those who helped to make it a great weekend.
