You Take The Cake-SOUS reveal Aug 19th

Oh gosh!! Does this mean summer is almost over being that were getting closer to the end of August.. I dont' think so, Nanné don't play dat...LOL   

As we creep towards the beginning of September, all I can say is "Thank you god and my 4 wk summer vacay starts Monday!"...LOL  Its been a long time a coming...

but before I start yapping your ears off about that, lets get to the reveal shall we..LOL I mean, thats why we are all here, right?..LOL

Our busy little Leah has been once again creating her magic and created us girls over at SOUS an original sketch. this one was so super cute and I kind of made my own twist to it..

so, with out further a do.. Here is my layout:

this one is actually the very first Imagine layout I have ever made.. I did this one before I made the one for our August 5th reveal... 

I bought these super cute papers by DCWV- Sweet stack and with the YUMMY imagine cartridge, I just couldnt' help myself.. I went cupcake crazy...LOL   

I think this is actually one of the fastest layouts I have ever created, only took me 1.5hrs..  having to print and cut, but not layering really made it all so pain free..LOL

and for leah's amazing sketch.

see, I told you so....LOL super cute!! 

and for a few close ups of the layout:

I love the titles on this cartridge and the swirls and the cupcakes.. ok, I love everything on this cartridge and really had to try to control myself with all of the cuts..LOL

aaaw, my darling hubby with our son Aaron 17 something years ago.. and it all seemed like just yesterday.. unfair how fast time flies when you really are having fun...

and here we the new family all together.. I was about 4 months pregnant with Adam and so, he is missing from these pics.. unfortunately my tummy couldn't fit in the photo...LOL

Berry Sweet- SOUS reveal Aug 5th

Oh god!! I'm another year older.. yes, yesterday was my  birthday, the BIG 40.. oh no!! LOL

maybe that only means I will be a bit wiser and more creative the coming year.. one can only hope, right ?..LOL and with that said.. our sweet Leah over at SOUS has been busy creating some super cute  and original sketches for us girls and this is my take on her sketch:

I had so much fun playing with my Cricut Imagine.. One of the best and cleverest features I have to say is being able to combine your old cartridges with the Imagine cartridges.. meaning, you can now join the prints off of the imagine cartridge onto your original cartridges.. What I did was, cut the sun image from my Doodlcharms cartridge, but added the background print off of the Imagine More cartridge..this way, everything matches..Wooo Hooo, go Provocraft!!  I did go through like 6 sheets of white cardstock though..LOL

and before I forget, here is the sketch leah made for us girls...

and for some close ups of the layout:

My sweet little Amber when she was just a tot.. she had the deepest blue eyes and the cutest little pouty lips.. miss her being so small..  Here you can see a close up of the sun cut with the background print..

The basket I also cut using the Doodlcharms cartridge, added the background print and then the strawberries are cut using the Country Life cartridge.. all cut using white cardstock and my Cricut Imagine..

The title I cut the same way, using my Country Life Cartridge.. First printing the color onto the white cardstock and then cutting it all out with my Imagine

This is a close up of the stamping I did on the side and then added some Distressed stickle dots to it.. love the way it came out.. :)

and another close up of my darling Amber.. She was a little chunky monkey back then...LOL  You'd never believe she was a preemie and only weighed  4 lbs 12oz when she was born..

and for supplies used:
