I got the title and talk bubble from the Silhouette store, all of the other cuts are from KaDoodle Bug Designs Thanksgiving Friends, Gobble Turkey Title, and Thankful Pigs original artwork by Kristi W. Designs. I cut them out using SCAL 3 along with my Silhouette Cameo. I added twine to the photo mats using Trendy Twine and stamped the "Eat Chicken" sentiment from Jaded Blossom stamps. The Peachy Keen Face stamps I used are Princess and Critter Faces for the Peachy Keen stamps color CHALLENGE.  I am also linking up to Cards TV scene it challenge and Paper Playtime Anything Goes Challenge. I added my journaling area using a white gel pen along with THIS STAMP SET from Close To My Heart.

#93 My New School Layout

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend, I was up late last night creating this masterpiece for my son's Kindergarten scrapbook album. The reason why I put "My New School" as the title was because I will be putting pics on here of his Kindergarten orientation I plan on making a separate one for his actual first day of school. 

I used all of the die cuts from the Original Artwork of Kristi W. Designs now sold at the KaDoodle Bug Designs Store and this set is called Back To School Mice, I stamped their faces with Peachy Keen Stamps Wide-Eyed and Bushy Tailed Assortment. I also inked the edges and added blue twine to all the photo mats.

#91 Heaven's Angel Scrapbook Layout

Hi everyone! When I saw that KaDoodle Bug Designs came out with these adorable angels I just knew I had to get them and do an angel scrapbook page for my baby girl Olivia. You see something you all don't know is I have been battling depression off and on since I was 11 years old and I also had post-partum depression with my son. I feel like an angel has been sent to me to make my depression go away because through out my entire pregnancy I didn't get depressed at all and I didn't get post-partum depression either. I am just so happy all the time now, I feel so much better these days it's so hard to do daily stuff when you can't just shake off depression it's a real thing! So that's why I call Olivia my little angel, she makes me so happy and I do feel like she has helped me a lot she has changed my life for the better! Ok onto my project I'm getting a little teary eye'd here lol!

The paper I used is called Garden Party from DCWV, and the patterns I used from KaDoodle Bug Designs are Precious Little Angels and this week's freebie Heaven's Angel Title. I used my Peachy Keen Stamps from the Jan. Stamp of the month and I am linking my project to the Peachy Keen stamps Anything Goes Challenge. I also inked and embossed the clouds and angel wings with my Cuttlebug and added white tulle to the photo mats.

#75 Watch me Grow Flower Babies Layout

Good afternoon! I made another 2 page layout for Olivia's baby book using KBD Flower Babies and FRIENDS pattern. I cut everything out in the Sillhouette Studio using my Cameo. I stamped the faces with Peachy Keen Stamps and added twine, brads and Prima flowers. All the patterned paper here is leftovers from my sons baby book I thought the purple paper was way too girly to be in the DCWV baby boy paper stack.

#53 Camping Trip Layout

Hi everyone I have been working on a lot of layouts for my 2011 album. I decided to try something different and make all pre-made pages to see if I can scrap faster, let me tell you it's a lot faster and plus I'm using a lot more die cuts on my projects.

To make this 2 page layout I used some Rusty Pickle camping paper that I got from the Scrapbook Expo for .10 cents! I made my own crinkle ribbon which was supposed to be green but it's more like a tan/green and I used my Crop a Dile and brads, I punched the holes pretty evenly without marking them or using a ruler! All the cuts are from a very vintage Cricut cart.... Going Places!  The title is from Summer Vacations Cricut Seasonal.

I made this layout to enter in the Throwback Thursday's color challenge.

#52 Jetsetters Scrapbook Layout

Good afternoon! Here's a a 2 page layout I made using the Echo Park files from the Silhouette store. I used my Cameo to cut everything and the papers are from the American Crafts Travel line, that I got on clearance from Michael's a while back ago.

Since I had my baby girl I have been trying not to go shopping for scrapbook supplies and just use what I have for now, it's been hard not to buy new crafty things, but hey I NEED clothes more I just can't wear maternity clothes any longer but I'm itching to go on a crafty shopping spree LOL!! Anyone know of any good sales going on for Cricut carts, paper, or anything else I must know of!?! LOL!

Have a great day!

#51 Cars Birthday Party Layout

Hi everyone! Here's a layout I made late last night while the baby was sleeping! I made a 2 page layout for my son's pictures from his Cars themed birthday party we had for him in October.

Since I get annoyed by all the tiny layers from the Disney carts I used this cute Svg called Zoom, Zoom from My Scrap Chick, the tires stack is from the Silhouette Store, font from my computer, and everything else... Piston Cup, lightning bolts, flags, and speed limit sign are all from the Disney Cars Cricut Cartridge. This was my first time I have to toggle between 3 different programs GYpsy, Silhouette Studio, and Sure Cuts A Lot 3, my brain was on overload last night haha!

My twine is from the Twinery, and this checkered paper is from the DCWV Immortal Love stack (the Twilight one!), the sentiment stamps says "You're Golden" from Scrappy Moms stamps, and I also used PKS Boy Mates for the face.

Have a great day!

Good morning! It's SANDRA here and today is my day to post on the SVG Attic Blog and I made a 2 page layout featuring one of my favorite sets which is Erin's Scalloped Trims, I guess I love this set so much because it's a great alternative to border punches plus it's a major space saver LOL! These pictures were taken at the San Diego Zoo and I used a few cuts from my Paisley, Tags, Bags Boxes & More, and Life's A Party Cricut cartridges to create these layouts, I also added some bling on top of the borders from SVG Attic.

Here's the set I used from the SVG Attic store ERIN'S SCALLOPED TRIMS
