Fall 12X12 Scrapbook Layout

Hello!

Donna Lee here from StampinNScrapinWithDonnaLee. Hope you all are having a very blessed and thankful Thursday.

Today I wanted to share a very simple Fall  scrapbook layout I recently made for my Grand Daughters scrapbook. She was 7 months in this photo.

Using scraps that I had of burlap (love it) and some gorgeous fall ribbon I was able to quickly put this page together.

I had these silk white flowers that I sprayed using some homemade ink sprays. Using a lot of Glue Dots I adhered them to my page and each other. I love this little metal clock. Again more Glue Dots to keep on the page.

I found these little flowers in my stash of embellishments! Oh I love this ribbon!

A little $1 bling from an Expo shopping trip a few years ago added some bling! My sweet girl loves her bling!

No title yet... But I am enjoying looking at it as I ponder this final step. Always open to ideas so feel free to share with your comment. 

Thanks for coming by! Hope to see you again next month! Have a terrific Thursday and hoping you get some craft time!  

Blessings To All!

100th Day of School Layout

Hello - Lori here from ScrappinMyStressAway!  Today I am pulling double duty - I am featured at She's A Sassy Lady and Let's Scrap!  This week at Let's Scrap, our challenge is a card sketch.  I rarely make cards, so I turned mine into a scrapbook layout.

Here is the sketch.

For Tanner's 100th Day of school, his teacher made 100 pancakes! 

I created a title using my cameo and a font from my computer. 

I used circles to represent the pancakes.  I sprayed the background paper with Heidi Swapp teal color shine.  I added a strip of paper and some twine.

The paper is from Frosted Designs - Hey Kid!

I was so grateful that the teacher sent me a picture as volunteers were not needed this day!  What a fun day for the class!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

12X12 Baby Girl Layout - FeaturingArtbooking Cricut Collection

Hello Crafty Friends, Donna Lee here from http://stampinnscrapinwithdonnalee.wordpress.com. Thank you Sheila for allowing me to share here at She's A Sassy Lady.

Today I want to share a 12x12 scrapbook layout that my friend Olivia and I put together using the Close To My Heart Artbooking Cricut Collection.

The coordinating page for this layout is on a prior post on my Wordpress blog. http://stampinnscrapinwithdonnalee.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/sweet-baby-12x12-layout-featuring-artbooking-cricut-collection/

We used the star overlay from the Artbooking Cricut Collection cut at 11" and then cut it using our paper trimmer to just use one of the panels.

Next we used the same key with the Icon feature and used my Gypsy or CCR to size the star to fit as a layer on top of our overlay. We cut it from some pink glitter paper. it really looks great in person. You can see that we popped them up using some dimensional tape and added the perfect bling from Olivia's stash to highlight one of the stars.

We added a few more embellishments and made a layered photo mat to hold a 5X7 photo. All of the other embellishments are from different manufactures as these layouts are for a baby shower activity for Olivia's niece. The participants at the shower will be given a kit to assemble two 12X12 layouts. They can arrange the layouts anyway they want to. 

I appreciate your stopping by today and hope you'll come back to see what else we are Stampin and Scrapin up in my Studio at:http://stampinnscrapinwithdonnalee.wordpress.com

Scrapbooking and card making have never been easier than now with the new Close To My Heart Artbooking Cricut Collection.  If you want to know more about this Collection and others plead visit my webiste at: http://donnafaglie.ctmh.com/ctmh/products/cricut-collections.aspx

Artiste Mini Scrapbook Layout Featuring Artbooking Cricut Cartridge

Hi, this is Donna Lee from http://stampinnscrapinwithdonnalee.wordpress.com/.  Not long ago I received the new Artbooking Cricut Collection from Close To My Heart and I was oh so happy to get to play with it!  I have a Mini Album that I made using the Artiste Cricut Collection that need to add some embellishments to. You can see that album on this post,http://stampinnscrapinwithdonnalee.wordpress.com/2013/06/08/mini-album-2-artiste-cricut-cartridge/ .

One of my favorite cuts on the Artbooking cartridge is this branch (border) and adorable owl (Icon).

I was not able to use my Gypsy or CCR because the Artbooking Cricut cartridge has not been added to the updates. I started with cutting the Icon images at 4.25 inches to get an idea as to how they would size because they are set to cut based on the size of the entire layout they are attached to.  That being said, you can use the Real Dial Size key to get them to the exact height you want but I wanted to see what they would cut like at different sizes. I also cut two at 6.75 inches. The eyes and feet cut, but I chose not to use them.

Just like the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy and Artiste cartridges the Artbooking cartridge cuts with great detail at very small sizes! You are going to love this Cricut Collection! 

I needed a title for my Mini Scrapbook layout and thought this "look whoos here" would be perfect. This is cut a 6.75 inches. I am using a vellum from Hobby Lobby. My blade is always at 6 for any paper, my speed is at Medium and speed is set at a High. 

As you can see, it cut perfectly! 

I added some bling for her eyes and inked the edges of my branch and leaves. I used dimensional adhesive to pop the 4.25 inch branch and owl onto my mini layout.

A simple 3X3 mat was added for a photo and this page is done! The Artbooking Cricut Collection makes scrap booking or card making a breeze no matter what size you are working on! The images on this cartridge are very versatile for all paper crafters.
