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.

 
 
 
 


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 t
han cartridges....don't tell Provo :)

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.

Fourth of July Patriotic Layout

On the Fourth of July, my friend Toni and I decided that it was a great time to make another Patriotic Scrapbook Layout! Toni plans on taking a bunch of pictures of her son, and cropping just around his little face and placing them on the 1 inch squares and then some other pictures from the 4th to go on the mats.

We cut some 1 1/2 inch squares and some 1 inch squares to do the sides, and then we did double mats of red and blue, sizes were 4x6, 3 5/8 x 5 5/8 for the top mat, and of course I love using a corner rounder and so we rounded our mat corners...the title was done with glitter glue, Ruby! Hope you like!

The Great Outdoors page layouts

Tonights class did The Great Outdoors page layout with Four Wheelers/ATV's, trees, a dome tent, a road sign. The title was cut using the Pooh Font cartridge and the Cricut markers. I am not sure what happened, but I was using DS and on my Expression the file would not cut past 1%. So I had to dig out my baby Cricut and I could only cut 6 titles at a time and then I used the Cricut markers to make them have the wood grain look to them...I think it really added to the page. I also used the George Cartridge for the shape behind the letters. The rest of my cutouts were done in SCAL. The dome tent, trees, and four wheeler.

Tonight we had another new Scrapbooker, welcome to our class, we hope we didn't scare you away :) We have a good class every week and lots of fun and laughter. If anyone would like to purchase any of our page layouts, I will be making them available, either at the store or I can mail them, just email me and I can make that happen for you. The cost for the pages will be around $7 per page plus shipping.

All About Me Scrapbook Layout

In this weeks class, we did a page "All About Me". It seems that most of the time, Mom's are the photographers and so we aren't in very many pictures with our families and so when those pictures become available, we need to scrap them and tell our story. So here are a few of the pages that were done, some of them wanted to wait and have me take their pictures after they put their photos on their pages and tell their story...so here are the ones that allowed me to take their pictures.
I used the Cricut to cut the tag, using Plantin, the Mats, using Scal as well as the title.

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.
