Skulls, Yule and extra

Skullz

We made little felt skulls that Halloween inspired by sugar skulls as a homeschool craft. Kevin preferred to color his with markers, and I embroidered one with floss, after I sewed them into a little pillow.

We used them to decorate our little shrine to our loved ones who have passed away. No cricut but I did use a skull button from Charlenes Buttons.

Untitled

This came as a quick kit that I got for a couple dollars in a garage sale. I threw it together, certain I'd immediately find pictures for it. It's been 2 years, still looking for pictures LOL

I should look through my pro wedding pics... that's all that's left of my wedding to scrap.

Yule

Typical holiday layout! lol  The kid opening presents.
The tree is cricut, though I may have glued the cut tree on the cardstock and cut around it so that it would be matted. The flower spray is from a flower swap I did with some ladies.

Curious and Kits

Passionately Curious

Super simple page, loved the colors of this line.
Our public library has summer programs for kids, this one has to do with science. Mentos in the soda bottles. The science part was comparing the soda reactions... which soda shoots the highest geyser?  Turns out it's Root Beer. lol

This is a kit I designed for sale to friends. I don't make a lot of kits, and when I do there's usually only 5 available for purchase. This one featured colored burlap flowers and offering a custom title cut on the cricut for each buyer.

Fun on the 4th

This is a kit I purchased from Little Masterpieces by my friend Irene.
I rarely buy patriotic papers, mostly because I don't have enough photos to use up an entire line of them... it's just easier to buy a page kit and be done with it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Catching up!

I have scrapped a lot since June of 2014 so I have a lot of catching up to do. LOL 

Birthday Bash

Shortly after making this layout, I decided to purge my paper flower stash. So this set of pages was made with the intent of using up a bunch that I had.  This is still during the time period where I was also adding a Charlene-handmade button to every page. :)

Coral Reef

Our museum had an exhibit of a community made knit/crochet coral reef. It was pretty darned amazing work. The museum tied it in with "clean waters" and the Mississippi. I used cricut cut images and title to embellish this layout.

County Fair

Not a lot special about this. I didn't feel the need to heavily embellish since the paper already came with the ferris wheel on it.

Flower Spray Swap

Hello everyone!
In September, I participated in my first online swap, on the Cricut Circle messageboard.  We all made flower sprays! The picture above is mine, I made flowers from paper using a rolled spiral flower that I cut with my Gypsy and Cricut, then using wire and beads, I attached them all together. They were very easy but after making so many of them, my fingertips were SORE! lol

In the process of making my sprays.

Here's what the other ladies made!  (my photos do not do justice to how beautiful these are!)

30 Days of Creativity - Day 3 flower embies

Well, it takes me FOREVER to scrap a layout sometimes, so I did not finish the project I started today - a two page spread. So, I hope it counts if I just post the little mini flowers I made for the layout! LOL  They have certainly taken me the most time so far!

They are also not my original idea. So credit given where it's due, I got the idea from Nicnac's blog.

Here are these adorable little flowers, made with stash paper flowers. I should have put a coin beside them, they are about the size of a  penny!

Thanks for looking!

Flower Tutorials

Edited to add:  I've been asked if it's okay to link to this post on other blogs... Certainly!!!  Spread the flower love my scrappy friends!!!

I absolutely love making my own flowers! I collect flower tutorials. LOL... I used to say that I collect flowers because I used to buy pre-made ones like crazy, but I'm done with that. I love making them myself now. With ribbons, papers, anything. I love making them with cricut cuts too.

For my own sanity of trying to find these tutorials when I need them, I'm writing this post to organize all the flower tutorials I find here. If you know of some I have missed, feel free to leave a comment with the url to it and I will add it to my list! I am going to keep updating this list for myself and put a link to this post in my sidebar so we all can come back to it in the future. :)
