Princess Catie Layout

I had these really cute pictures of my 7-year-old daughter and I wanted to share them with all of you. I made them black and white. There is something about the way black and white pictures look. I just love them. In certain pictures, they just make the picture so much better in my opinion. This layout came straight out of my imagination. I love the splash of color too.









Ingredients:
Cricut Expression
Plantin School Book cart
Swirly stamp with Ink It Up! black ink
ATG gun
K&Company stickers
Brads
Craft Lite Cutter (mini zigzag cutting tool)
Provocraft pointed tool (to make holes for brads)
Xyron sticker maker
Xyron adhesive runner
Lace embellishments
DCWV Cardstock paper.

I also wanted to try out my newly re-adhesived (is that a word?) Cricut mat. I bought some Goo-Gone yesterday and I used it to clean off my mat, then I scrubbed it with soap and water. I taped it off and sprayed repositionable spray adhesive from Krylon on it. It seemed to work okay today; however, what I noticed is that although it makes the mat sticky, it seems to stay sticky on your hands if you touch it. I'm not sure this is the right kind of adhesive I should be using. I'll have to experiment a little more. Anybody have any suggestions as to what kind of spray adhesive I should use?

Much love and creativity,

Spring Fling Crawl - Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog

I decided to participate in the Spring Fling Cricut Crawl hosted by the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.

The requirements for this crawl are to make a project that is "springy" and uses the colors pink, yellow and green.

I did a layout of one of my favorite pictures of my daughter, Catelynn. We were at the park and she was standing behind this climbing wall that had very large holes in it. I took the picture and it just came out so cute. It was a bright sunny day outside, perfect for playing at the park. Thank goodness the weather is getting nice enough to go outside without a jacket on!!! Yay!! Bring on the summer.

Another requirement is that you had to use the Cricut for at least one image! Well I just won the "Welcome Spring" Cricut Cartridge from Jenny at Scrap With Jenny. It came in the mail today so I was able to use it for this project!!! Just in time for Spring. I love this cartridge already!!!!











Ingredients:
Welcome Spring cartridge
ATG gun
Lace
Pink blingie brads
K&Company specialty paper
DCWV paper.
Xyron 1 inch sticker maker

Recipe:
I cut the title out at 3 inches.
The flower embellishment on the lower left was cut at 3 inches
The embellishment on the lower right was cut at 1.5 inches.

My ATG gun (my absolute most favorite scrapbooking tool) was used to put it all together.

I hope you all like it. Thanks for looking!

Much love and creativity,
