Smooth Sailing

Hey everyone.. wow yet again I have neglected my blog lol. Unfortunately, I won't be back into the regular swing of blogging for some time still. I just happened to have some time to write today. I've been busy with miss 4 year old and miss 2 (almost 3 and it breaks my heart) year old.. and redoing my craft room.. again!

Adam just finished making my desk a few months ago and stuff was going good... (the room wasn't complete yet) until I found a deal on craigslist and HAD to have it. So I got a super deal on white cube storage (about $4 per cube). I asked Adam to redo my room/ his office .. even though just months ago he said "are you sure this is how you want it? Because once it's done.. its done! And I will not be re doing anything you decide later you don't like"... well I asked anyway and he decided that my new idea was much better. So needless to say the room is a mess and I can't get to anything pretty much. And for the next few weeks it's only gonna be worse lol.

So today I have a little card I made real quick. The sailboat and anchor are both from Life's A Beach and were cut with my expression 2. The circle and scalloped circle are both from Cricut Craft Room Basics and were also cut with the expression 2. I embossed the red circle with my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots folder. After I adhered all of the parts onto the circles I put the entire sailboat in the circle on a pop dot. I ran some red velvet ribbon around the card and over the velvet ribbon some burlap twine which goes around twice and has a cute little bow. I hand wrote the sentiment.

Geek is Chic

Back in October Adam took the girls in the studio and did a fun photo shoot with them. The results were so funny! The girls were wearing around 3d movie glasses and Adam thought they looked "hollywood" well I thought they looked... nerdy LOL! Anyway I made a layout using a couple of the pics from that shoot.

I used DCWV Neon Chic stack for this layout.. I cut the title circles and glasses with my Expression 2 and Gyspy. The glasses are from My Quiet Book, "chic" is from Paisley, the circles are from Cricut Craft Room Basics, and "geek" & "is" are from Creative Memories Be Young and welded together on the Gypsy.

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.

Just Married Layout

I couldn't be happier with this layout I love how it turned out. All of the papers are Authentique Paper. I got the flowers in a kit except for the one with the little blue button in the middle.. I hand made that flower by cutting different flowers out of different paper by and and rolling them for volume and adding a brad to the middle. The tag also came in the kit. I cut the heart by hand and used cardboard that was just "garbage" basically. I used bakers twine from The Twinery for the tag and the kraft colored twine/yarn stuff is from the kit also. I used my cricut to cut the white background shape behind the pic.. I welded images together (from Cricut Craft Room Basics) and stretched them with the gypsy. And the title is cut from Tie the Knot.

Adorable Girl Layout

I just finished up this super cute (in my opinion anyway lol) layout. I used imaginisce baby powder papers.

I trimmed different papers up to fit what I thought was close to the sketch. I also fussy cut 2 of the circles from one paper for the strip on the bottom of the pics.. and added pink iRock gems (which you can get at ShopPumpkinSpice.com) around each pic and one on the bottom circles (inside the flower). I inked the edges of some paper and inked the background too with pink ink. Sprayed the background with whine glimmer mist. And one of the pink paper strips I pleated. I cut the heart with my gypsy and Cricut Expression 2 using Craft Room Basics and inked the edges. The title is stamped in black ink and I outlined the black in hot pink glaze pen to help it stand out and fit in all at the same time. Hope you like :)

I followed the sketch at Imaginisce this month.

My 1st Theme Day Thursday

Today is my very first project made for the My Cricut Craft Room Design Team! I am so excited to be on this amazing team I can't even begin to express my excitedness (not a word I know lol!). The Theme Day Thursday Theme this week is "Kids in Trouble"

This is my layout I made it using the Cricut Craft Room Basics cart and the Elmo's party cart. I used my Gypsy to weld the letters together. I tore a piece of black card stock to lay under the red title so it would stand out more and I dotted the title in random places with a white gel pen. The paper is flocked and shiny kind of hard to tell in the pic. I picked this paper because i thought it complimented the carpet in the pics well :). To make the tissue boxes I cut the boxes out with the Cricut Craft Room Basics cart and then punched a little semi-circle out with a round punch. I adhered some tissue paper crumpled up behind the box hole. Then I ran a row of crumpled tissue paper across the bottom of the page to duplicate whats happening in the pics :).

The pics are of Jayden during her first trip to Cali (Disneyland). I was using the bathroom and when I came out I found whats in the pics.. It was so cute I couldn't even be mad at her she's so funny :)

To go see some other great projects head on over to My Cricut Craft Room and check out some of the things made by the other DT members :)
