Use a Cart Challenge - Week 2

This week's use a cartridge challenge asked us to use Create a Critter. Well, I just LOVE Create a Critter and I really didn't do it justice with my layout, but I needed to do this layout for my book I plan on finishing this year, so I went with it! The fish is the only cut from CAC - the pole is from Boys Will Be Boys, "Fishing" from Hannah Montana and the other letters are rub ons!

Luke's 2nd Year - Post 2

I skipped around a little on this one, but here are some more pages from his book!

February layout - I used Boys Will Be Boys, Indie Art, Rock Princess, and Robotz for the numbers. I had SO much fun with this one!

Easter layout - using Nate's ABCs and Holiday Cakes.

A July layout of putting together his tricycle, using Nate's ABCs, Boys Will Be Boys, and Going Places.

Another July layout, including his first haircut. On this one I used 3 Birds On Parade, Pop Up Neighborhood, and Cricut Everyday for the scissors.

Stay tuned for more! Still working on them!

Luke's 2nd Year - Post 1

It's very overdue, but I am finally working on my son's 2nd year scrapbook. I feel bad because I did his first year pretty much right away but that was before the Cricut. I was really proud of it but comparing that to my daughter's first year book - no comparison. I feel like he kinda got shafted! lol SO, I am putting a lot of work into his 2nd year book. I'm determined to try and finish it this summer and I got a lot done the first couple weeks I started working on it. I stopped to do a birthday scrapbook for my mom but am getting back into it now and about halfway through. I am doing quick posts of the pages to share. There are lots, so I will do it in parts over a couple weeks and as I finish up!

The November spread using Doodlecharms and Live Simply:

Christmas spread using Boys Will Be Boys and Jolly Holidays:

December/Jan spread using Birthday Cakes and Four Legged Friends:

Jan/Feb spread using a combo of carts for the title and Holiday Cakes:

...stay tuned, more to come!

Swarm Projects

I didn't get as much done this weekend as I wanted to, but I did pretty well!

Here is my Easter layout - had such fun with this! Used my new stickles to decorate the eggs and just had a good time! I used 3 Birds on Parade, Create a Critter, and Picturesque on this one.

This was last October at grandma's and I got to break open Kate's ABCs (I bought the night before leaving for the swarm!) and Nate's ABCs on this one! LOVE those carts!

This one was just fun - my silly little man! Used Boys Will Be Boys and 3 Birds on Parade for this one - and stickles, of course!

This was the first layout I did this weekend. I wanted an excuse to use the adorable pianos on Playtime and I did! I also used Twinkle Toes on this too and my glimmer mist for the first time!

Easy Sunday Project

While it was quiet time at my house yesterday, I decided to take the time to turn what used to be a play food bucket (rendered unnecessary by the awesome produce/food stand we built) and turn it into a Nerf small blaster and ammo bucket. Cut out the pieces, Mod Podged them one, done. Took about 15 minutes. Here's the before and after!
