Time Travel Tuesday.

 

Every Tuesday I am going to post an old layout of mine to remind me of how far I have come using my Cricut and learning new skills. This one was just one year ago when I first got my Storybook Cartridge.  

Pregnant with my 10 lb 5 & half oz (Not going to round down the half- I felt every gram!!!) youngest son Drewby... all the while chasing around my 18month old superspunkymonkey Dean. 

I just got my Winter Frolic cartridge in the mail! Yay for the Aussie Dollar and US exchange rate!!! So I am off to plan my page for the challenge at Fantabulous Cricut 

Meanwhile Carlene from Me n Miss Pink Cricut is driving 3 &half hours today to come scrap at my house for a day... we are going to make our Cricut's chirp and work! 

How far would you drive attend a scrapathon? 

Me: easy... DAYS!!! 

See you tomorrow!

 

Flaunt it Friday #5 Challenge

The challenge this week over at Flaunt It Fridays is to use the "martini" cut from the "From My Kitchen" Cricut cart. 

 Easy one for me... This has been a saying of mine for years.  You can shake me, but you'll never stir me!

I loved making this layout. I often scrap the boys and forget about my thin album.  I used From My Kitchen Cricut Cartridge for the Martini glass and designed my own shape insert to make it look like liquid inside. 

The title frame comes from the cartridge Storybook. Love it! I used Webster and Artise fonts on Sure Cuts a Lot for the titles and the little circle shape is cut from Storybook using the Clover function (but I cut the clover off).


I use Distress inks on nearly every layout. This layout uses  Peeled Paint and Spun Sugar. Added Kindy Glitz to the liquid and also my new Pentel outline pens to give movement to the word Shaken and depth on the glass. 

Thanks to the ladies at Flaunt it Fridays for a great opportunity to make a girly page for myself!

While you are here you should check out Carlene's blog, she has completed this challenge using Sex and the City Premiere photos! Perfect martini setting! Plantin Schoolbook has so many hidden talents!
