Another Crop!

I have done nothing in the last 3 weeks since I went to the crop- BUT I was lucky enough to get to go to a crop yesterday and ended up getting 2 pages done!

Not much cricut on this one- only the green bracket. The "Together" is a rub-on. The little letter stickers were white- I inked them with Peeled Paint distress ink, and the same color on the green paper and the LO corners. The rest of the papers are inked in creamy brown casts eye chalk ink. (one of my very fave colors). The patterned papers are all Little Yellow Bicycle travelor collection.
A fun page!! The papers are both from American Crafts Travel collection. The title is Cricut Zooballoo. The arrow is a brad from Around the Block.

One Last One

Heres one last LO from this week. I finished it yesterday with Gigi's help. Its a totaly new technique for me- got the idea over on scrapbook.com, and I LOVE it!! I had Costco's photo lab blow the picture up to a 12x12- then scrapped right on the pic!

The title is Plantin Schoolbook and Lyrical Letters. I used DS to weld an arrow from Graphically Speaking to the bracket from PS. I used the computer to do the little bit of journaling and cut the strips after I printed it.

and now the crop LOs!

Last weekend 5 of my wonderful cricut.com friends came from out of town (and state!) to visit Gigi and I... what FUN we had!!! Lots of talking, laughing, and eating. Believe it or not we even managed to scrap! lol. I got to go to my very first away from home crop on Sat. It was 14 hours of fun with my friends!!!
Love the grumpy face on Pea in this picture! I used Lyrical Letters for the title, and Jasmin for the photo corners. The punch on the left side of the striped paper is the EK Success notebook punch.
Sweet little Pea all bundled up! I used All Mixed Up for the title, Stretch Your Imagination for the lady bugs, and A Child's Year for the photo mat on the large photo. The heart on the small pic is from Plantin School book.
LOVE the bright coors on this one!!! Jasmin and Plantin Schoolbook for the title, I used PS for the journaling flower also. The flower stems are from Walk In My Garden. the flowers themselves are Bazzill chipboard that I sprayed with Maya Mist. This was a fun page- I got to use the super cute cuts on A Child Year for one of the first times. The fire truck and the journaling mat are both from that cart. The title is the font from Wild Card and Printing Press. It was my first time using Printing Press also, and I love it!
Lots of Everyday Paper Dolls on this one again- I am really liking that cart! All the police gear is from there- the badge, the cuffs, and the police car. The title is Pooh Font.

So many things...

Once again I have slacked on the LO posting. the good news- I have TONS to post!!! I have one from a couple weeks ago, then many from a crop I go tto go to when all my cricut.com friends were in town, and even one I have done since they left!

Heres the one from a couple weeks ago-

"Going Home"- I love this picture of little Pea all snug in his seat for his trip home from the hospital. I used Lyrical Letters and Pooh Font for the title. The house is cut from Don Juan. the road, tree, and car are all from the new Everyday Paper Dolls. (LOVE that cart!!). I journaled all around the edge of the paper- I just couldnt see a spot to put a journaling block.

more Pea :)

Moving right along on the Pea's first album! heres the most recent LOs.--

Heres a pic of Pea with his Dad before we left the hospital. I used PSE to make the background black and white, and left the baby and the hubby in color. Just to make them stand out a bot more. All the papers on this LO are from DCWV Nana's Nursery. The title is cut from Cuttin' Up. I used New Arrival for all the little baby "things" and Storybook for the journaling space.

This was a fun LO. I like making little scenes on my pages sometimes. For the title I used Lyrical Letters and Pooh Font. The house if from Don Juan. The tree, car, and road are all from the brand new Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. LOVE IT!

The Friendship Book

My oldest son started pre-school for the first time this year. Recently he brought home homework- FOR ME! His teacher has started a friendship book. An 8 1/2x11 scrapbook with a page for each student. They take turns taking the book home for their parent to create their page and put it in the book. The plan being that within a few months, the book will be complete and they can learn all about their classmates and enjoy looking at all the pictures.

Here is the page I created about Gavin. (I welded the pic of the front and the pic of the back into one picture to make it easier) To the right of the main picture is his ast name and on the back side has his birthday, but i blurred them out. It doesnt look weird like that in real life. :).... Lyrical Letters for the title and Jazzmine for the photo corner.
