Hook & Loop Dots

I just watched this video and thought it was a great idea on how to create a mini album on a scrapbook layout.  My son is quite into drawing my husband and I pictures, this is an excellent idea to incorporate those into a scrapbook album!  

 

For Always Workshop on the Go Cardmaking Kit



Here is the For Always Workshop on the Go Cardmaking kit with a magazine box created using the Artiste Cricut Collection.

 

Fast and Furious Cards

Brenda Frerichs from Crafting With Joanie created a card just like this and I had to re-create for both my son for his 4th birthday and for the small business fair.

 

 

Artiste 3D Shapes

These are just a few items I cut from the Artiste Cricut Collection to display at the small business fair.

 



 

Create and Takes

Here are the create and takes I had for people at the small business fair to make.

 

Display for Small Business Fair



March 10th, I participated in a small business fair, which was my first event of this nature.  I didn't know what to expect so I tried to have a little bit of everything on display.  Here is how it turned out.

 



Chantilly Scrapbook Layouts

Here are 3 2-page layouts created with the Chantilly Paper Packet and a few extra sheets of cardstock.  I did come across these online, but I can't remember where I found them and who created them.  I thought they were adorable and wanted to re-create.

 

Napkin Fold Card

I saw this idea on Crafting with Joanie's blog where they created a napkin fold card and I loved it.  So simple to create and fun because it's different.  This was using the Chantilly Paper Packet.

 

 

 

 

Chantilly Bracket Frame

This was created using the Close To My Heart bracket frame and Chantilly Paper Packet as well as the Artiste Cricut cartridge to make all of the rosettes.  I love how this turned out.

 

Chantilly Birthday Card

Simple birthday card made with the Chantilly paper packet.

 

Workshops On The Go® Canvas Art Kit

Here is the Workshops On The Go® Canvas Art Kit I made of my children.  It was so simple to make and looks great!

 

2-page Layout



Over Christmas I was able to complete my first layout in over a year!  It felt good and I wish I had more time!  I'm quite behind on my kids albums, here is my son at 3 months old...he is going to be 4 years old later this month.  For this layout, I used the Close To My Heart How To book called Magic, and chose the layout called Now You See It.  These How-To books are excellent as they have the exact measurements that are required, all you have to do is decide which paper to use (which is a task in its own).

Chantilly Birthday Card

I made this double fold birthday card for my niece using the new Chantilly Paper from the new Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book.  This paper would be nice for so many occasions, mother's day, baby girl, birthday, etc.  I also used a new stamp set called Girls Rock.

 

Supplies:

Paper: White Daisy Cardstock, Chantilly Paper Packet, Cotton Candy Cardstock, Buttercup Cardstock
Ink: Tulip

Other: Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge, Blush Button, Embroidery Floss

Anniversary Card

Last month there was a special called Whooo's Your Valentine, I made this card using the stamp set from this kit.  I think the owl is adorable.  I copied this card from one that Gina Brandstetter had made as I thought it made a cute Anniversary card.
