V with MCCR

Good Morning!!! Today with My Cricut Craft Room, the letter of the day is

"V"

I made my Violet Valentine using Sophisticated

The tag is cut at 4in, the heart at 2.5in and the Love at 2in

I embossed the tag and inked the raised parts with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Purple Passion.

I added some Violet and Silver Chrome pearl pens, a doily, ribbon, twine (in Lilac) and a button from my stash.

I just love the way this turned out :)

Hope you are inspired to do some crafting today!!

Home Love Family

Who still loves 2page layouts!?!?!

I do! Good thing I have been doing so many of them lately!

A family page is always needed in a scrapbook. My co-worker requested that I title it Home. Love. Family. I have this DCWV stack that I have wanted to use forever and it just screams family at me. So I pulled out Linen Closet and got to work!

I was inspired by a page I saw on A Page for All Seasons blog that I saved as an idea a long time ago. I used their page as a sketch for this one. I inked everything in Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Biscotti and a little bit of Blue Hawaiian.

Here you can see the border on either side of the large photo mat on page 1. There was a pattern sheet in the stack that was all of these scallops. I cut 2 out and added them to the sides as borders!

I usually hate making bows but I felt like this layout really called for it. I wanted it to lay pretty flat so I put my ribbon all the way across the page first, then tied a bow with the same ribbon and glued it on top.

Home, Family and Love were all cut from the Teresa Collins Sophisticated Cricut Cartridge. I layered the blue from the stack with some cream to make the words stand out. 

I added some Twine in Cappuccino and Caribbean at the bottom of the small photo mats to add some interest.

I hope you like this soft family layout.

Class Pages

January - Bo Bunny

 I live in Cleveland and we get tons of lake effect snow every year so you can never have enough snow layouts! I read this quote somewhere "Snow is Winter's Butterfly" and knew it was a perfect title for a layout. When I saw Bo Bunny's paper, it was a match made in heaven! I love their stuff.


 February - 3 Birds

 3 Birds Warehouse is in Cleveland and they have a mega sale every December. My mom went last year and saw these kits for a $1!!!! The only thing I added was a couple buttons and some twine. The solid paper was all in the kit, I just took it out to do some cuts on my cricut with the Teresa Collins Sophisticated cartridge.



 April - Teresa Collins

My favorite class page of all! the border, grid, phrase and bird are all from one sheet of paper that I cut apart and layered on a 12x12 yellow. I got the inspiration from the Teresa Collins design team blog. For the second page, I fussy cut apart the yellow flowers from a third of another sheet of pattern paper and layered them over each other. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way this turned out!

I am so sad to say this is the last class page I will do, for now that is! I didn't know it at the time, but after April, I decided to discontinue my local classes. I am still working out details of doing some sort of packaged kits without the class, but that is a couple months out at least. I have so many projects to work on before that! But, this is definitely giving me time to work on those other projects, along with maybe getting some of my own scrapping done in between! Something I haven't done for about 3 years!

 

 

recent work

so i figured even though i started posting pictures of all of my stuff on cricut.com i am going to post them here as well. maybe not everyone is in all the swaps i am! lol so here are some recent layouts with cards





the fist one is my favorite. the blue love layout. i dont know what it is about it but i love the colors (even though i normally dont like brown) and i love that its a love theme and its not all pink. i really dont like pink. although i still use it in my layouts cuz i know other people do!
