Our theme for February is "Once loved, now forgotten."  

This month, let's pull out those tools and supplies that are collecting dust.  Let's show them some love!

 LM #485  Die cuts - Pull out your big shot, cricut or other die cutting machine and add at least one die cut to your layout. If you don't have a die cutting machine - you can add a die cut/ephemera piece to your layout.

I love layering die cuts with my Cricut and do it all the time!

Head on over to Lasting Memories and get your entries in today!

I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!   Scrappy Hugs!

I love sugar skulls and was looking for a reason to create one with the Ole cartridge from Cricut. They only have the one skull on the cartridge but with tons of papers and embellishments on the market you can create a different sugar skull every time.
I decided to create a wall hanging in the color scheme red and black.

 

I used some rubons for the flowers inside the eyes, lots of bling, patterned paper, cardstock, and for some added texture simply white Mama's Mesh by Lovebug Creations.

 

 

I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!

Hola mi Amigas!

Today I wanted to share with you some really fun centerpieces I made for my

National Scrapbook Day Crop that was held yesterday.

 

 

I purchased some candle jars from Dollar Tree and added a cute diecut from my Cricut Cart OLE.

Added some curled ribbon and there you go! Instant inexpensive center pieces!!

 

 

 

I hope that you have enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. I love receiving comments and new followers. It means so much to me! So please feel free to drop me a note and follow my blog for more inspiration, giveaways, and tips.
