Family layout

Gosh.. I cant even remember them being this small... seems so long ago! My DD (Amber) and DS's (Aaron and Adam).. I actually got them to stand still long enough for me to get this picture.. I have more, but they are all running around the yard..LOL
Here is a close up of the butter fly I cut from this paper stack.. I added a little stickle and just popped the wings up. Added some liquid pearl drops(droppings..LOL)<--just the silliest things amuse me..LOL Just a close up(blurry-sorry) of my little ones.. I love the "Family" cut on the Home Accent Cart..
I also wanted to add softness to the layout. I put small white flowers (WIMG) which I just chalked with brown around the edges and then added dark brown brads (mini and mid size). I cut the leaves with WIMG also..

BABY word album

This is my very first word album so please be gentle with me..LOL :OP

A good friend of mine gave birth to a bouncing baby boy 4 weeks ago.. She lives a little bit away, so I don't get to see her everyday. I'm planning a visit for Thursday June 4th. I will be giving this to her as a surprise..
I misplaced my O-rings, which means I have to buy new ones..thats why their missing from the pic..LOL
This is the first letter, of couse..duh!.. She loves bold colors, so I didn't want to use pastels..
Added a pull out tag so she can journal something in there to go along with the photo that I have matted ready for her.
Here she can doodle the time and date the baby was born, plus add a photo.
sorry this is a bit blurry..
Little toes.. love baby toes.. The final page..

I cut the WHOLE album using my Cricut personal elec.dye cutter and the Plantin Schoolbook cart.. I cut it 5" tall and started with the whole matt lenght for the "Y"..and then just made them shorter by letter..
Just welded a long tag to the letter using the design studio software.
I also thought to recycle some of the cardboard that you get with the paper stacks you buy.

Supplies used:
  • Cricut Cart: Plantin Schoolbook-Album
  • Cricut Cart: Graphically Speaking- titles and flowers
  • Cricut cart: Accent Essentials- frame(pic)
  • Cricut cart: My Community- Feet
  • HOTP - For boys to men papers
  • blue, red and yellow cardstock
  • recycled matt stack back cover-cardboard album
  • buttons
  • stickle
  • ribbon
