Finishing Layouts; Memphis


I needed to finish three double page layouts that I started during a crop. 

I made lots of Cricut cuts for titles and some embellishments.


Some stamping and strip journaling.


Print then cut designs!

PCC; Cute Pies Cards


Oh, it's time to share two cards that I made using Cute Pie SVG from Printable Cuttable Creatables. I changed the pie colors so I had a cherry and blueberry pie.


The shapes on the card fronts were created on Cricut Design Space using Basic Shapes and offset.  The patterned paper is from Lawn Fawn.

Vellum circles were cut using a large circle punch.

Both sentiments are pretty basic so these cards can be used for any occasion. Adding some highlights using a white pen finished them.



Be sure to check out the Printable Cuttable Creatables website for cute SVG cut files and use the code 3SONS15 for 15% off your order!  For inspiration, scroll through the blog. You will not be disappointed!

Sizzix Sidekick Challenge Project Four

Project Four of my Sizzix Sidekick and Dies card challenge is this cute bows card. Act, it's two cards!

I used this die set from scrapbook.com. I purchased it  I love the bows but figured there are some delicate bows that could be hard to cut with the Cricut.

Watch the YouTube process to see how these cards were made.

TGIF; Thankful Friday #359

Happy Friday and another week to be thankful!  This week went by so quickly. I'm thankful for volunteer opportunities. I never had a chance to volunteer when I was working and it's nice to be able to now.

I helped a friend with the Book Fair at her school site. I was exhausted but it was fun!


What are you thankful for this week?


Iron Crafter Challenge; Stamping Embossing


Join a fun group of crafty peeps each month as we take on the Iron Crafter Challenge! Each month Tara from @thepapersnob will select a challenge ingredient to use on a layout. Quarterly, we will do a recipe challenge rather than a single ingredient.  This hop goes live on the THIRD FRIDAY of the month. We will have a hop on YouTube and Instagram to show how we used the challenge ingredient(s) for the month. 

The mystery challenge for March is a recipe challenge.  For March, the challenge is to create a layout using the following items:  Stamps, embossing powder, and a cutfile (or a die cut if you don’t have any cutfiles).  


Here's my layout:

Junk Journal Floral Page


I pulled out my Little Golden Book Junk Journal the other day and decided to attempt some flowers. I know most of my pages have flowers but I wanted to try something different.


Honestly, I am not happy with the two sunflowers but I love the other flowers. I had a big whoops but fixed it pretty easily.


A little pencil scribbling on the left side was an afterthought and I like it!

Watch the YouTube video for the process.

Just a Wee Bit Irish Cupcake Toppers


My son did the Ancestry.com and we found out we're 4% Irish. We decided this St Patricks Day we were going to do a little more than just wear green. My daughter made soda bread and brownies with Baileys. We also made some mint chocolate shakes. 

I made these cute cupcake toppers using Print then Cut function in Cricut Design Space. You can see how I used images in DS and changed them to something different.  Easy Peasy!
