Happy National Scrapbooking Day! {and Cinco De Mayo!}

Hello!  I hope you have enjoyed National Scrapbooking Day and Cinco De Mayo!  Two of my favorite celebrations!  I went out with friends last night to enjoy some Mexican food and then went to another friend's house to crop!  Today I finished some Mother's Day cards and 2 layouts!  And tonight....more Mexican food celebration, but with the hubby this time!

As promised last week, here is another layout I did in April.  I am still working on my 2011 album, so these were a couple of things from April and May of last year.

I used blue cardstock for the background and red cardstock for the circled journals.  I added paper from Scenic Route and Cosmo Cricket.  I created the Blast and rocket using my Cricut Imagine-Imagine More Cards Cartridge and Garden using Cuttin Up Cartridge.

Hope you enjoyed the post!  And I really hope you have accomplished some Scrapping and eating tons of Mexican food today!  Enjoy!

Oh my!!!

I can not believe I have not been on here since April 1st!  I am slacking off!  Actually, it has been an extremely busy month, but that is no excuse!!!


I have been scrapping I promise!  I have made a goal for myself to do at least 1 layout per week until school is out.  Once I am on summer vacay, I plan on revamping the goal!  I created this layout a couple of weeks ago.  I also made a goal to use the supplies I have, not buy new stuff!  I've done pretty good!  I haven't bought new stuff since February!  That is amazing for me!

I used some paper from Cosmo Cricket, Scenic Route and some paper I bought at Scrapbook Convention for this layout.  I also used a purple cardstock for background.  The title was made using my Imagine ( I LOVE MY IMAGINE!!!!!)  The journal tag was from fancypantsdesigns.

I hope you enjoyed this layout!  Since this is the last full week of April, I did meet my goal!  I got 4 layouts done this month!  I will show some others next week!  Thanks for looking!

Last 2 cards!

Hi! These are the last 2 cards I made during Spring Break. I mad them using my Cricut Imagine and the Imagine More Cards Cart. I needed some Thank you notes and these images were too cute! I used sea blue and navy cardstock for the cards. Added some pink cardstock for the top card and pink patterned paper for the bottom card. Added some twine and done! So cute!

I hope to have some layouts to post later this week! Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed!

Cards!

Hello! I have 2 more cards to show you this week! I made them using my Imagine. I love, love, love this machine!!!

I used blue cardstock for the card. Added pink cardstock and this printed image created from my Cricut Imagine using Imagine More Cards Cart. Added some matching twine and done!

I used blue cardstock and added the image created using my Imagine using the Imagine More Cards cart. Added some pink twine and 2 cards done!

I know these are simple, but they were fun to make and any card handmade is always better than a regular card, correct? I hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks for looking!

2 more cards

As promised, here a couple of other cards I did during spring Break. They were simple to make using my Imagine! I love that machine!

I used a basic navy color cardstock and printed the Happy Birthday image from Imagine More Cards Cart on white cardstock. I attached it to the card using foam squares to pop it up and added some yellow twine.

I really like this card! I used sea blue cardstock for the card and added orange scrap paper I had lying around for some more color. I printed the rocket and blast image using Imagine More Cards Cart on white cardstock. Added some sea blue twine and I was done! I may add a orange button to jazz it up a bit, what do you think?

These cards really were easy to make, but are so cute! Using the Imagine really saves me some time! Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for looking!

Boo.....

Sadly....my Spring Break has come to an end! I have a love/hate relationship with Spring Break. I love it because it is what it says, a break! I get to rest and rejuvenate before having to go back to school for the long haul of the rest of the year! I hate it because it gives me a little taste of summer and I want it to be here! I feel like I wish my life away these last few months of school!

I did get tons done this break though! I finished my Colorado Scrapbook (yay!!!) and I played with my Imagine. I really feel more confident using the printer part now, not just the cutting. And I have fell in love with that machine! It is so versatile and I can get way more creative with it!

I did make a few cards...I have a lot of Birthdays coming up this Spring, so I tried to get ahead! I made some super simple cards....my goal was cute, but easy, so I could get a lot done!

I used my Imagine to create this card. I printed the label using Imagine More Cards Cart on white cardstock, used pop up foam stickers to glue it down, added some cute orange twine and a few rhinestones to jazz it up. Put it all on blue cardstock and voila! Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy! Done!

I made several of these cards and will showcase them in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for looking!

Spring Break!!!!!

It is Spring Break people! Yay!!!! I love this time of year! Time off from school, starting to wind down, getting ready for summer! Spring Break always gives me a taste of summer and gets me ready to finish out the year strong!

Since I am on Spring Break, I am doing a lot of crafting! I thought I would take this time to really play with my Imagine. I love it! I made this adorable sign for our mantle to welcome Spring!

I used my Imagine print and cut capability to make this! The image came from Imagine More Cards Cart. I set it to full page and hit cut. Out this came! I just put in white cardstock! I added a grommet and ribbon to hang it from the mantle! So easy and so cute!!!!

Hope you enjoyed this post! I have many cards to show you as well! So stay tuned!
