Camping Cartridge

We love camping.  I love scrapbooking the pictures too!  The Campin' Critters Cartridge is so cute and really helps accent a page!  You have to cut and layer the images, but it is so worth it in the end!  I am reading a book right now about "Kicking up" your pages.  I think this page needs something more....I may be going back to it!

Paper:  Scrapbook convention.  Not sure of maker.  Solid paper:  DCWV.  Journal Tag:  FancyPantsDesign.  Stickers:  Jolee.  Cartridges used:  Campin Critters and Elegant Edges.

I still have some more layouts to show.  Look forward to posting them next week!  Thanks for looking!

Camping Layouts

Today I woke up to beautiful weather!  I went for a run and it was 66 degrees!  That is unheard of here in Texas at this time of year!  I wish I could say it is staying, but no, back in the 90s by the end of the week.  But this morning, the weather made me want to get out and get camping!  Last November we took a trip out to Copper Breaks State Park near Quannah, TX.  It was so gorgeous!  The next few posts I do will be layouts from that trip.  I used the Mosaic tiling pages for this page and I think it turned out great!

Green background paper:Tami Potter paper.  Title paperL  DCWV.  Title:  Campin' Critters Cartridge.

I just love using the Tami Potter Mosaic paper system.  I've done so many now, it is very easy for me to complete them.  If you have never tried it, it is a lot of fun and I think make your pages different and fantastic!

Thanks for looking today!  I hope your weekend is beautiful too!  See ya soon!

Elegant Edges

I love using my Cricut.  I try to use it on every layout that I use.  For awhile that was just for titles, but I got some cartridges that more than fonts and I have become more creative with them.  My favorite go to cart is Elegant Edges.  I love it!  It gives me the capabilities to cut out backgrounds to make my patterned paper pop more.  I find myself using it on every page!!!!    This layout was of my sister's birthday.  I picked the paper to match her cute shirt!

Background paper:  DCWV.  Patterned paper:  Scrapbook convention paper (not sure of maker).  Title:  paper-DCWV.  Cart:Songbird.  Flowers:  scrapbook convention.  Pearls:  Queen and Co.  Brown Ribbon:  Scrapbook convention.

Do you have a favorite Cartridge?  I'd love to hear about it!  Thanks for taking the time to look!

It is hot here!!!!

I don't know about you, but I am ready for fall.  It is September 1st here and it was measuring 113 degrees in my car!  I am ready for some cooler weather!  I can't complain too bad....this has been a pretty mild summer.  

School has started back up!  I have just completed the 1st week of my 12 year of teaching.  I love it, but I am tired!  36 more weeks to go till summer!  Ha!  You know all teachers count down!

Since I am ready for fall, I thought I would post a layout I did for a pillow I made for Halloween.  I have slowly gotten into sewing, still have a lot to learn, and I made this pillow.  I will say it was hard, a little out of my experience zone!  But it turned out cute.

Jack o lantern paper:  SEI.  Orange stripe paper:  DCWV.  Glitter paper for pumpkin and title:  DCWV.  Glitter ribbon:  got in a gift exchange so not sure of maker.  Carts used:  Title:  Lyrical Letters.  Pumpkin:  Phrases (I think....).

Thanks for taking a look today!  I hope you are enjoying your Labor Day weekend!
