A Card a Day. . . Makes us Crazy!

Ha ha! Just wanted to throw a little fun in the midst of life's unending drama. I've been making at least one card a day for various occasions and these two were for an anniversary and a birthday. Both make great use of my Cricut which I'm falling in love with all over again (especially since I have a place to keep it out "permanently") Anyhow, I again scraplifted the second card from Creating Keepsakes (they did butterflies but I don't have a butterfly punch). Using the tone on tone paper (someone thought it was embossed at a glance) gave it a really neat look and then I "lightened" it up a bit with the polka-dot ribbon. Overall - I was really pleased with both of them. Hope they inspire you to take a moment and use some of your scraps to brighten someones day.

Finally, all these cards are making us crazy! J/K, it was crazy hair day at school (something to do with Red Ribbon week) and this is how my kids left the house - not the normal but they were PLEASED!!!

Have a great weekend everyone if I don't see you before Monday :)

Fun Layouts - A Glimpse into My Style

This is a two-page summer spread of my children. For my personal album I usually try to do a "look-back" spread instead of every individual event which would take up a ton of space. Again my cricut was used for the title and the "sun" was cut with my circle cutter from creative memories and the rays were just cut in strips with my paper trimmer. I thought it was fun and bright and indicative of summer!

Here are a couple of layouts that I did for our "grown-up album." This was Easter a few years ago. I used my cricut for the title and I believe this is the Bohemian line from My Minds' Eye/Wild Asparagus. (I think?)

This was taken on our anniversary (#9) and I just love the line of paper and embellishments by K & Co. so nice to occasionally get to do some formal layouts!

That's all for now! Off to spend some H2O time with the kid-O's! Enjoy your day!
