Spring layout

Here is a layout we did quite sometime ago, and it was a bugger to do...the pattern that we used, the sizes were listed wrong and so our layouts never turned out like the sketch we were trying to do...but this lady went home and she wanted to make that layout sketch and so she kept at it untile she got it pretty darn close...I love the layout and I hope you do to.

 


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 :)

Christmas in July Scrapmania

Once again SCRAPS held another Scrapmania weekend where we scrapped way into the night...midnight to be exact and then all day Saturday. At Scrapmania some of the ladies were very well prepared and were able to do as many as 10 layouts with photos in place as well as some journaling! I was impressed with how organized they were. There were door prizes drawn throughout the event, and there was a Scrap yard sale as well as a demonstrator from one of the companies selling stamps, paper etc. It was a wonderful weekend filled with Scrapping, friends and great food...oh yeah, I forgot to mention the food...these ladies not only do totally awesome pages, but they also cook some unbelievably delectable, scrumptious food...I certainly blew my diet.

Also available at Scrapmania, were some classes could be taken, here is a class that I had taught last year with a request for it to be taught at Scrapmania...I don't know what happened, but this class took over 2 hours to do and it should've been less than an hour...but as usual, the ladies created their own layouts by embossing the snowman with the Cuttlebug embossing folders, also heat embossing, and glitter glue was used, and it isn't in the picture, but one of the girls layout is going to be the redneck snowman and is going to be holding a shotgun! I designed the gun for her in the new Surecutsalot 2, which I absolutely love this new program..it opens the door wide for all the things my Cricut can do now....Thank you Todd!!!!

Giggles N Grins

August 3rd scrapping class was a night of fun with 10 wonderful scrappers attending and as you can see, they took the layout idea and ran with it...each one adding their own little twist to their page making it just that "their page"

In this layout we used the Cricut and Surecutsalot 2. The title was cut with Basecamp, the tag with Plantin, and the pocket was cut with the newest version of SCAL2! I am totally loving that program...I needed a pocket and didn't have one in any of my files and so I made one using paint and then imported it into SCAL2 and did the trace and some little adjustments and voila! I think it just added to our page.

Gone Fishing

I am so far behind on updating my blogsite...I should apologize to all my wonderful ladies who come and participate in our class. We have lots of fun and they are all very talented as you can see in their artwork as they create their own personalities in these layouts. I have so enjoyed working with them and learning new tools, techniques, and just watching their creative spirits at work...I hope you enjoy the following layouts..feel free to leave a comment, we'd love to know what you think.

My pages are done with the Cricut and Surecutsalot. The new Surecutsalot 2 is absolutely wonderful and just makes me love using my Cricut even more...they have totally opened the door on what we can cut with our Cricut and save us a lot of money as we may never have to buy another cartridge unless it's something we really, really think we must have and don't want to make our own cutouts. Be sure to checkout the website and see what the new improvements are.

Mosaic Layouts

Tonight we made Mosaic Layouts, choosing pictures to cut into 1" squares and placing them on grid paper to make these beautiful layouts...unfortunately our paper didn't arrive, but I was determined for us to make this project and so I created a grid and used my Cricut and Surecutsalot to create a template, so this way I could use any paper and make it into a Mosaic...worked pretty good as you can see from our pictures. Once again everyone did a wonderful job. I'd like to welcome Gloria to our class as she was able to attend. Gloria F....we miss you and Jane F, and Dannette...and Trisha and Sharri, we missed you this week.
Please be sure to leave a comment if you like these pages, I think the girls would appreciate it.

Down on the Farm

This is our class we did on June 30th...with 10 students! We had two young ladies attend for the first time and they did a very good job, I was really impressed with their talent, they truly were artistic. We also had a return visitor and so we were glad to have these ladies in our class. I hope you like their layouts and their paper piecing, chalking and color choices.
Our mat size we did some 4x4 mats using bandana paper, some made a journaling mat as well as some 4x6 mats...everyone does their own layout so they can vary...and we like them all.

Candle boxes

Below are some "Candle Storage" boxes that my Pastor made for Beulah campgrounds craft show/store. I had suggested letting me donate some of my vinyl cuttings to put on his boxes to see how they would look on them...what do you think? I like them alot...I think I like the beige vinyl the best.

I designed the cuts in Surecutsalot and used my Cricut to cut them. I love cutting with vinyl, it weeds better than cutting on paper.
