Fall 2008


I love doing fall scenes. My dog is my favorite model. She know when I have a camera she needs to be looking pretty !! LOL I used Plantin Schoolbook for the title. I used Home Decor for the scalloped circle. I cheated and used the paperdoll scarecrow and corn that I received from a Paperdoll Swap I was in on the Cricut forum. (Those are really fun to join) Hope you enjoy.

Dixie Stampede


Here is a layout I did of a show in Branson MO. It is called Dixie Stampede. It was so much fun. It is about the Civil War(the Yankee against the Rebels). Anyway I needed to do a two page layout because the pictures were 5X7's I used Wild West Cart. for the title and horses. I cut out the mat and glued down three sides to make the pocket. I had so much memorabilia that I wanted to include that I just had to have a pocket ! LOL

Mailbox Swap


I am addicted to doing swaps on the Cricut forum. Here is a altered mailbox for a swap. You had to alter a mailbox in your partners favorite colors and fill it with goodies. Here is picture of the mailbox with all the goodies I filled it with.

Front View


The "E" stands for her first name. I used a negative chipboard and painted it with a black magic marker.

Side View


Here is the side view. I painted the mailbox white. I used a very tacky double sided permanent tape on the paper to make it stick to the mail box. I stressed over how to get behind the flag part. I found instructions on youtube. All you do is use a small circle punch where the flag will be, then cut a slit and slide it under the flag. Very simple!! I just tied fibers around the base of the flag.

My Pink Cricut !!


Here is the newest addition to my scrapbook room. My new Pink Cricut!!! I have wanted one since they came out. I finally caught it on sale at Michael's. I love it!!

Leash keeper


Here is something I made to hang my dogs leash and coat on. I made it using a chipboard letter I purchased at Michaels. Applied paper, name, and flower with a decoupage medium. I nailed the little knobs on. I used Cricut Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.

1st chip board book


This weekend was a wonderful weekend! We got 6 inches of snow. I LOVE snow!! Anyway we played and played in snow. After all was said and done I decided that I would attempt this little book. I have been trying to get myself motivated to do one. I was worried about cutting the paper to fit the book. Guess what....it was easy!! I trimmed my coordinating paper and adhered to the book. I used A Childs Year for the scalloped mats and journaling mats cut at 4 inches. I used Alphalicous for the letters. Buttons and a wired butterfly I have been waiting to use for the front cover. I hope you like it.
