New layout

As all good plans change, painting my bathroom did too! Instead, we helped our son tear down his deck and boy was that work! Now he is all ready to build a new one. We have gotten it ready to paint and I am sure it will get done this weekend. I spent the last two days cleaning and reorganizing my craft room. I still have some things to sort through but it looks great. I have to 4 ft x 4 ft wall cabinets with wood stamps that I am going to go through and see what I can live without. All my storage units are together along one wall now and so much better. I do have a layout to share and hope to get back to crafting today. This is a layout of my granddaughter riding a pony at an orchard that we went too in 2010. I used the cartridge Old West and CTMH pattern papers from Sarsaparilla. Below are the cuts and measurements. I am loving my Scrapn'Easel, makes it so nice to layout it out!

Rope cut at 2.5 inches

Thursday Share!

I have been busy working in my craft room and if you looked inside you would think a tornado hit it!! I have a challenge and daily project coming up the first of the week and wanted to finish up my oldest angel girl Mary-Kate's 2010 album. This is the last layouts I had to do and I put it off because I was not sure what to do. She had a dance recital and they danced to a Hannah Montana song so I thought I would country it a little. They wore flannel shirts and jeans so I made my layout look plaid. Used a little country fonts and it turned out ok. Not real thrilled, but this one was hard. I used the cartridges Hannah Montana , Old West, and County Fair. Below the picture are the cut measurements. My second project is a picture of two of my grandchildren while on vacation at Hilton Head this year. I wanted a new picture for my beachy bathroom so this is what I came up with and used Life's a Beach.

New and fun challenge at Exploring Cricut this week!

We are having a great challenge starting today at Exploring Cricut. The challenge is called "It's a Box" You are to make a box, bag, purse, any shaped container you want from your cricut cartridges. With all the great cartridges we have with the party favors and treat boxes, I am sure you will find something you will want to do! I decided on making the Dog House treat box from the new Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 cartridge. The box just took on its own charm once I got started on it. I used Old West for wood planks for the roof to jazz it up, Animal Kingdom for the Dog, Everyday Paper Dolls for the grass, Paper Doll Dress Up for the bone and to decorate around the dog house, tulips from Spring Cottage. Below the picture I will put the measurements for each cut. I can't wait to see your creation!
