My 60 layouts challenge - Layouts 3 & 4




OK. So technically this is a double page layout but I'm counting it as 2 layouts. They could be used separately.

Diamond shapes are cut using CCR cut file 'Daughter'. Butterflies are from 'The First Few Years' cart and are cut at 1 inch, 1.25 inches and 1.5 inches. Title is from 'When I Was A Kid' cartridge and is cut at 1.25 inches.

Papers used are from DCWV 'Bella Armoire' stack. Pin It

My 60 layouts challenge - Layouts 1 & 2



My new challenge. 60 layouts for my Mother-In-Law who turns 60 in August. Can I do it? My hubby says NO!! That just makes me more determined.

Here are  layouts Number 1 and 2. Made using cuts from Cricut Cartridge "The First Few Years".

 For layout 1, the hexagons are 1.5 inches high, the frame is 7.25 inches, title is 1 inch and the butterflies are 1 inch and 1.5 inches.

Layout 2, the banners were cut at 2 inches, the pinwheels are 2 inches, the photo corners were cut at 2.5 inches and the title is 1 inch.

Super simple, yet really pretty layouts. Patterned papers are from My Minds Eye 'Time for Tea'. Pin It

Making The Most of Freebies







I found this little Mini Book as the 'Freebie' of the week in my Cricut Craft Room. The cut is actually called The Love Mini Book but I did away with the hearts. All embellishments came with the cut file. Pin It

Going on an Egg Hunt?


All ready to be stuck down, but not glued yet. I thought I'd wait and see what photos I take on Sunday. I may need to turn this into a double layout. We have quite a morning planned!! Our little hunt has grown with lots of families now joining us. So much fun. Can't wait. Happy Easter!

Fiskars grass punch used for strip of grass. Creative Memories meadow punch for the butterflies. Tree  from Cricut Pooh & friends. All other cuts are from CAC2.

DCWV Baby Boy photo mats. Too Cute!! Pin It

Tangerine & Bluebell











I was recently sent some samples of My Mind's Eye Tangerine & Bluebell and asked to have a little play with them. The colours are amazing and the products were so fun to use. I had only ever purchased MME 12 x 12 paper pads before, but I am now in love with their little 6 x 6 pads. I have since purchased several more. The coordinating brads and stickers are on my 'TO FIND' list as my local Warehouse Stationery has sold out!!

I only wish I had taken better photos before sending my projects off.

Thanks for stopping by. Pin It
