Creative Kuts has a an ongoing program called "Crop on Line". It's super cool! You pay $5 for the file and then you get emailed the file in steps. After you post the first step you get the second..and so on and so forth. The layout from the end of January was called "it must be Love" and it is so cute! I love this layout because I got to use girly colors!!  

 

Here is my finished layout! If you love it, be sure to leave me some love!!

 



Items used to create this layout:

Patterned Paper from my stash

Cardstock and Bazzill

Copics

Pop Dots

Banner Bonanza Blog Hop

Welcome to the Banner Bonanza Blog Hop!

We're so glad you could join us today! If you've come from An'Jenic's blog, you're in the right place. If you've just come across the hop, please start at the beginning with Ashley at Made Especially For You.

For this blog hop I came across some paper, photos, and chipboard that I had saved in a folder years ago. They were all pulled together so I could make a banner of my boys. They were so small and so cute back then, so I decided heck, why not! So I created my banner of my boys after all and it is proudly displayed in my home.

 

 The chipboard rectangles are approx. 3x4". They have been sanded, inked, and covered with paper.

I had some random chipboard letters that are 2" tall. I also sanded and inked them and added paper. Together they spell out the word LOVE!

 I decorated each rectangle with various media: lace, ribbon, flowers, pearls and bling.

  Each piece is tied together with some ribbon that I knotted on the front side for added interest.

And here it is..hanging up in my formal dinning room on the hutch. The colors are very muted and perfect for this room. Banners are great fun and can decorate any room in your house, with photos and without!

 

We also have some fabulous sponsors giving away prizes

 to those who comment on every stop of the hop!

Challenge #146
January 28th - Time Flies
Include a clock or something pertaining to time

We invite you to create any project featuring a cricut cartridge cut that has to do with time.

Be sure to upload your entry on the FCCB.

 Here's what I have created for this challenge:

 

 

When I saw the Cricut Craft Room Seasonal Characters I knew I had to create a layout with Baby New Year and Father Time. They are super cute. Don't you agree?

 

 

Close Up Page 1

 

Close Up Page 2

 



You might recognize a couple of other Cricut Carts on this layout too.

For my title I used Create A Critter 2. No welding invloved! The Happy New Year title is super easy to cut and use. And my big Clock Tower was created using the Creative Memories Traveler Cartridge. I simply cut off the very top part of it to make it look like this.

 

 

I also fancy cut some of the orange designs in the patterned paper and pop dotted them around the layout. Kind of like special snowflakes!

Products used to create this layout:

StorytellersClub printed paper

Bazzill and cardtsock

pop dots

Blue Brad on clock

 

I didn't add photos on this yet but don't worry I will. I have about 4 years of catching up on layouts to do. LOL!

Happy Chinese New Year

Hello scrappy friends, Connie with Connie Can Crop here to share my lastest Creative Kuts Masterpiece Layout entitled : Happy New Year

 

I wish I celebrated the Chinese New Year because Cheryl really outdid herself with this file. Don't you agree? This amazing file includes everything seen here except the bottom border and photo mats. The paper I chose to use was from some really old CM customer gifts. It's bright colors and patterns were the perfect fit!

 

Page 1 up close 

 

 

 These little boy bears with the dragon are my favorite part of this file!

 

Page 2 up close

 

 

This photo mat topper can be made a boy or girl dragon.

 

 

And this little girl bear just makes me smile. She is so cute!

 

 

The lanterns all have black twine hanging them off the tops of the pages. And there is alot of pop dots being used here to give it that great 3D look!

 

 

This layout is available in my ebay store. Please feel free to come check it out along with all of my other layouts and projects.

Creative Memories patterned paper

CM stickers for the bottom border and design on lantern

It's A MAN's World

 

We invite you to create any project featuring a cricut cartridge cut that is masculine.

That's it! Easy peasy..right?

Be sure to upload your entry on the FCCB.

 

Here's what I have created for this challenge:

 



 

I chose to use Creative Memories Traveler Cartridge for both the tent and the title. This cart has so many awesome designs as well as several font choices. Don't know where to buy it?....ask me!!

I made the tent look like there is 3 layers but it is really only two. I used my copics to add that 3rd color. Wala!

 

 

This is my young man attending his last Boy Scout Camp before he decided he didn't want to be a scout anymore. It was a sad day when he made the decision. I was his leader all through cubscouts and he truly loved being a scout. But I guess when they enter high school they find new dreams and ways to spend their time. For my son, it's all about the Band and Drumline, and I couldn't be more proud of him!
