The bulbs I planted in November are starting to grow. These are the ones I planted lasagna style. For more info on that, check out THIS post. I can't wait for the blooms!
What are you thankful for this week? I'd love to hear all about it!

Layouts Using Scraps and Cricut
During the retreat I attended, I completed a bunch of layouts before I remembered to film. Lol. Sometimes I can be so forgetful!
For this layout, I created and cut images with my Cricut before so I didn't have to worry about embellishments while I was there. But what I didn't do was plan my papers or layouts.
Because there were so many photos, I went through some scraps and cut them into 6x6 pieces. Then I added the five photos across the bottoms. Check out the YouTube process video to see how I put these together.
Here are close ups. Don’t you love the cherries?

Elvis Museum Layout
I'm starting my Memphis trip layouts so you're gonna see lots of Elvis themed pages. These pages are photos from the Entertainment Career Museum. I created lots of Elvis, music, and records cuts with my Cricut to add fun embellishments to the pages.
I went to a four day scrapbooking retreat and finished lots of layouts - 31 to be exact! I packed light and really used my imagination on most of them. This two pager was a sketch challenge with other specifics. I love the paper choices which wasn't part of my plan.
Watch the process video because there's a lot going on with this layout. I hope to inspire you!

TGIF; Thankful Friday #349
What am I thankful for this week? For one, this was my first official week of retirement and it was great! I watched the girls for a couple days, I met my friend for coffee, we went to breakfast, caught up on shows and hubby and I didn't get on each other's nerves! Yet.
I'm also at a four day scrapbooking retreat right now so it doesn't get much better than that!
What are you thankful for?

Happy Baseball Rocking Card
Hey there and Happy New Year! I'm joining the Printable Cuttable Creatables Design Team for another term for the winter and I'm really excited about it! If you haven't checked out the website, you must do it soon. The cuts are adorable and such great variety. If you use the code 3SONS15, you'll get 15% off your order!
My first project for the new DT term is this cute Happy Baseball Rocking Card. The cut file has the baseball and a baseball cap. The nice thing is that you don't have to use the cap if you don't want or vice versa...you don't have to use the ball if you only want the cap! That's two cut files in one!
As always, I lay the pieces together before adding adhesive. This helps to ensure that your pieces are in the right place before you get adhesive where you don't want it.
Once that's determined, I used liquid adhesive to lay them together and used Sticky Specs for the red laces. I actually remembered to pull out the tweezers for those!
For the rocking card, I cut a 5.5" circle and folded it in half. Used a bone folder to give it a good crease. The patterned paper is cut to half of a 5" circle. I used my scissors to trim off some of the top edge. You can see that on my YouTube process video.
Be sure to place the ball on the card base just under or at 4.25" high and in the center horizontally. You don't want this to be larger than 4.25 x 5.5 in order to fit in an A2 envelope.
Other than a quick stamped sentiment and some faux stitching on the cap, this is it. Isn't it super cute?

Be sure to check out this project on the PCC blog as well as other DT projects. There is such a great variety of projects and you'll find lots to inspire you!

Rainbow Crush YT Hop; Color Challenge Blue
I'm participating in a YT Hop with Paper Snob and it's a color challenge. This month's color is Blue. I used lots of blue papers (four patterned and one solid), I also used blue letters and blue cloud rub ons. I am actually proud of myself with the rub ons. Those have been in my stash for a long, long time!
I was able to get six photos on this layout without overcrowding the page and a cute rounded title.
Welcome to Rainbow Crush – a Social Media hop where we share projects that feature a color of the rainbow each month! This hop is hosted by Tara on her Facebook Group. Anyone is welcome to play along. This hop takes place on the 2nd Wednesday of the month!
