Here is a layout I made using the sketch from STUCK ON U SKETCHES this week..

I had so much fun making this layout and using the Christmas cuts on various cartridges..

I had a hard time choosing which cuts to use, I like them all..LOL

Here are some close ups of the layout.. the little reindeer heads are tags that pull out.. I haven't journaled anything on them yet, I have to really think of something sweet.

The tag in the middle is the date and location where I took the photo at.. We were at the Helsinki International airport getting ready to board out plane.  We were going to the States to visit friends and family for the holidays.

This was our first visit back since we moved back in 1996.. the kids were so excited..

They always make silly faces when I tell them to pose..

Supplies Used:

Cricut cartridge: Winter Woodland (Title)

Cricut cartridge: Doodlcharms (reindeer heads)

Cricut Cartridge: Tags, bags and boxes (tags)

Cricut cartridge: Joys of the Season (garland and flower)

Just Chillin-Stuck on U sketches challenge

Here's a layout I made of my dd for the sketch challenge on Stuck on U sketches..  I had a lot of fun with this one..  I love the Bittersweet paper collection by Basic Gray and I knew I wanted to use it on something special..  I also used SCAL for the title and the tag that the title is on.. I could not decided which font to use, too many options..LOL  :O)

 

A close up of the tag that I journaled on .. 

And the title.. I cut the font with SCAL and the fonts are Blueberry and Brockscript (bold).  The base is a shape that came with SCAL.

The flower that I made, which you can find the tutorial on our challenge blog (Stuck on U sketches).

inked the edges a little bit with Tim Holtz Distress Ink; Worn lipstick.  and then finally added a big white brad.

Destined 4 Greatness

Here is my oldest son Aaron, now age 16.. Gosh, how fast the time has gone..
This is his school pic from this year.. He gave it to me the day before yesterday.. I just couldn't wait to get started on it..
I have a hard time embellishing boy layouts and didn't want to over do it with this one.. I love just the stars and keys.. and the blue goes great with what he is wearing in the photo.
Here's a close up of the title.. I just welded all of the letters together and then cut it.. this using the A Childs Year Cartridge.
I rolled the end corner of the top paper and punched holes and then threaded some light blue lace through it.. I also added a tag of his name and the date of the photo.
I used some grunge board keys I had in my stash.. Used some Tim Holtz distressing ink on them and then glued them to the layout.. These keys represent all the possibilities that will open up in his life once he finishes school.. Doors opening, etc..

Supplies Used:

• Cricut Cart: A child Year: Title
• Cricut cart: Home Decor: stars and flourish
• Cricut cart: Graphically Speaking: arrow
