LM 630 - Favorites - Shapes

This month at Lasting Memories, we are revisiting the most popular challenges from this year.  This week, we are using shapes on our layouts - triangles, circles, hearts or hexagons.

I created a layout about bringing Audrey home from the hospital.  I found this adorable cut file of a house.  It had several triangles and a heart, so it worked perfectly for this challenge.

Supplies:

Patterned paper - Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Garden Party Collection

Cut file by Paige Evans

Letter stickers by Thickers

Baby Shower Decor

I was just at a baby shower on Sunday and it got me thinking... I never posted pictures of any of the crafts that I created for my nephew/godson's shower IN FEBRUARY OF 2018.  At the time, we did not know if it would be a boy or girl.  The theme was jungle animals. 

This is the diaper cake that I made.  My sister in law LOVES peacocks

and I found one at Target, so I had to place it on top of the cake:

This is a diaper wreath I used on the door leading into the shower

These were the favors.  My sister in law loves popcorn!

These were the centerpieces.  I made them with my cricut. 

 The punch bowl had lots of rubber duckie animals in it

LM 325 - Punches

This month at Lasting Memories, we are having "stash buster" challenges!  For this week, pull out your punches (or die cuts/ephemera if you don't have punches)

I have been trying to re-organize my scrap room and my punches are boxed up right now.  So I used my Cricut Explore and created this page to showcase my 2015 Christmas Card.

It was inspired this layout by Melanie at Courtney Lane Designs.

I got a new toy...

I have been doing quite a lot of scrapbooking and card making, even though I haven't been very good about posting here.  I really need to work on that.

I go to crops at least once per month, plus I scrap at home at least a couple times per month.  I usually create the layouts and then come back later to add headlines, journaling and embellishments.

I just got a Cricut Explore Air machine!  I have had a Cricut & Gypsy for YEARS, and I LOVED them. However, I decided that it was time to upgrade.  I got the Michael's special because it was teal.  As you can see, my craft room walls are teal and I am even wearing teal today - it's one of my favorite colors.



Now I am concentrating on adding headlines, journaling, etc to any pages that are already completed in my albums.  As I finish them, I will be posting!

When I was setting up my Explore, I was prompted to make this adorable card.  It used the cut and write features.  

A housewarming gift

I created this housewarming gift for my friend.  I used my cricut and this is what I came up with

This is the card I made to go along with it:

Going Away Card

My friend went just into the Air Force and I created this card for her using the Stand & Salute Cricut Cartridge.
