Giveaway Post - my scrap space!

Ok so I hate taking photos of myself, especially when I wait until the end of the day and I am SOOO tired, but alas, I did that. So, here's my entry for the giveaway of me in my scrap space - although I can hardly scrap there. =( Not much room!

Weekly Challenge #27 Make a Game Plan

This week's challenge was an easy one for me! It was to make a sketch of the layout you were wanting to create. Since I sketch out almost all my designs, this was just another layout for me! I did a project I've been wanting to do for months and I LOVE how it turned out. This is a 2 page spread of my kiddos with the Big Brother quote and my favorite photos of them! I used Playtime, Stand and Salute, George, and Gypsy Wanderings and got to use my brand new Cuttlebug for the first time using a star folder! LOVED it! The big random "L" is not so random, because it's what both my kids' names start with! I got that at the stampede last month with this layout in mind! Thanks for looking!

Weekly Challenge #26 - Just Because!

This week we are doing a just because layout/card and since I'm starting to work on my son's 2nd year book, this worked out perfectly! I had a lot of fun with this and hope you enjoy it! I got to use Nate's ABCs and my stickles, of course, so I was happy!

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!

Cricut Circle Stampede Photos!

Here are some of the photos I took at the Stampede! I had a fabulous time and hope you enjoy them! It was held in Frisco, TX at the Embassy Suites and Convention Center there. Beautiful place! I met some absolutely wonderful people, and the benefit of going alone meant I got to spend every meal meeting another crafter! I actually got 8 pages done and will post those in the next blog entry. I got to learn all about the Stampmaker ( I SO want one!) the Yudu (something I've been wanting as well!) and found out the awesomeness of the glass etching. The possibilities of what I can make with my Cricut was highly expanded this weekend and I can not WAIT for the next one! Enjoy!

Magazine Cricut Everyday Challenge!

This challenge asks us to use at least 3 cuts from the Cricut Everyday cart and make something to define yourself at any of the meetups, swarms, or crops! I thought this was perfect since the Stampede is next weekend, so I made a name plaque out of a 2x4 and picked up some containers at the dollar store to make an "In" and "Out" card box for my calling cards. On the back side of my 2x4, I made my Scrapbooking Queen tag! I am also making an extra box for trash and snacks. I used Mod Podge to adhere the cuts and I love how they came out!
