Big Boy Nautical Layout

The circle inside the life savor is the photo mat.

I used my cricut & Life is a beach to cut the life ring and waves (along with my gypsy). The title is cut from Boys will be boys. I tied the square knot with some hemp string and looped it through all the holes on the life savor. The paper was in my stash.

Daddy's Lil Pumpkin Layout

Hey everyone.. sorry its been so long since I've posted.. life just has a way of taking over I guess. I have been crafting behind the scenes the whole time though (well most of the time). We just went on a Disneyland/ SoCal/ AZ vacation/trip for 2 weeks, so that took some time.. hopefully I'll have some pics to post later on.

So I made this layout of Jayden & Adam from Jayden's first Halloween..

Grandpa's lil Pumpkin layout

Layout I made for the imaginisce challenge this month.

I used all imaginisce paper except the corrugated cardboard strip & the paper used for the title and the pumpkins. I cut the ovals for the pumpkins with Cricut Craft Room Basics. The title was cut with Mini Monsters and the other text I cant remember for sure put I think it was Plantin Schoolbook. I used the irock and some orange gems in the top corners and for the dot on the "i" in "lil". All of the text is dotted with white gel pen and the pumpkins are inked around the edges in dark brown. I also inked the cardboard and parts of the background with brown ink.
