This Weeks Sponsor

 Winner will receive a $25.00 Gift Certificate to Verve Stamps

Make a card or projects using animals you find on a farm

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!

For my project this week I've created a scrapbook layout using the 4th sketch from the Ready Sketch Go class that I've been thoroughly enjoying, and my Cricut for my title and farmyard diecuts.

 I wanted my title, cut from the Country Life cartridge to stand out a bit more so I layered it on a yellow oval, which I added to some paper strips and a fun country sticker.  These cute buttons are from May Flaum's new embellishment line - 28 Lilac Lane, from the Tropical Twist set. These sets are soooo awesome!

I used some woodgrain and script papers to cut my fence and then used some Distress Ink to add highlights to the cuts.

The fence and haybale diecuts are from the Old West cartridge, and the rooster is from the From My Kitchen cartridge. These were easy to lay out in Design Space to get the correct size and then I coordinated my colours.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you had a lovely Easter and enjoy a wonderful week ahead. Don't forget to stop by the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog to see what all the other Design Team members have come up with for this fun challenge - and enter your own project with a Cricut cut for a chance to win a fabulous prize from Verve Stamps!

Final Page Mothers' Day! and more....

I finally finished the last of the Mothers' Day 2010 scrapbook pics :) See previous post for the second page and a link to the first!  Well, I think with fall settling in I'm finally feeling like settling down to do a bit more scrapbooking.  Of course, then there's Christmas coming up, crafts & cards to make, those cute crocheted baby slippers I'm working on, oh yeah, the Snow White costume... Well, I will fit it in somewhere :)

My 2 beautiful girls! Love u

 For the following 2 pages I had used a computer program to add pictures to a page and then chose to print them 8x12.  It was a quick and easy birthday layout simply layering them on some primary colored cardstock and adding a few stamps/embellishments.

I figured I just had to use this beautiful paper (I think Websters), which had been in my stash for a while.  We have a local farm attraction nearby and since we spend a lot of time there I wanted to do a 2 page layout.  I used distress inks to make a background sponged on white cardstock and then some Inkadinkadoo bug/butterfly stamps to stamp over the sponged areas.  I highlighted with gel pens and popped them up with foam dots around the pages.

This paper was so cute on the back I actually scrapped the other side (see below).

 These printed pages were perfect for an amusement park layout!
