Christmas 2015 layout

Hello for the last day of 2015, hope you all have a Happy new year! I made this double page layout last night of Christmas. I love how it turned out. The Merry Christmas title I cut on my Cricut. The little burlap wreaths and 10 things I love about Christmas little embellishment (the 10 things I love are written and tucked inside the pocket) are from Lincraft, they had a 40% off everything sale the other day so I got a few things and the Christmas stuff was on clearance. I also got some bargains from our local variety shop, the washi tape going across the pages, the glittery chipboard embellishments (tree, stars and stocking). The Dec 25th circle was cut from paper and I made some little presents by just cutting 2 squares on my Cricut, wrapping twine around them and making bow from ribbons. The "So many reasons to be Happy" stamp was from the Artistry bundle and stamped in gold ink. Thanks for looking.

Last week with our Bff Ivy

Hello I have a page I made on Miss Ivy. I'm continuing with her album and these photos of when it was our last week in Chicago and Ivy was staying with us, we took her to the park and had so much fun and also in the rooftop park we got a lovely photo of the 3 of us. She was so happy playing with her friends, we miss her a lot but she is always in our hearts.
I used the new Artistry cartridge for the Best Pals sentiment and the border. I made the tag from t his cartridge too and wrote on it with my Cricut pens. I used two wood veneer shapes from a pack I won a little while ago from Jilly bean soup, I used my Distress inks to color them.

I'm back with a scrapbook page

Hello everyone I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and soon it will be new year. I am looking forward to 2016 because It's another year I get to spend with my lovely hubby and we are so looking forward to building our dream house so lots to look forward to and soon I'll be a school kid again lol with my studies starting soon

I have not scrapbooked in ages because we have been so busy moving back to Australia and getting organized and up until today we didn't have a photo printer but now I'm back with a page and I decided to use the fabulous kit Greg got me for Christmas, it was a Bo Bunny Head over Heels kit all love/Valentine themed which is my favourite so for this layout everything apart from the gold stickers (which Greg got me too and were in my Christmas stocking) and the sentiment at the top which is a stamp from the Artistry bundle mum and dad got me for Christmas (stamped in Versamark ink and white embossed on black) is from that kit. I love all types of scrapbooking but I do enjoy a kit as everything is co-ordinated and it makes it a bit less stressful trying to co-ordinate it all and you can relax and just put it all together. I love how this turned out and it was so nice to do a bit of scrapping again. I look forward to my next page.

Not a card or scrapbook page

Hello I was wanting to pretty up my dressingtable a bit so I used my Cricut and a photo frame to make this little Inspirational frame for it. I used the Cricut and my pens to do this. I used the Intricate Quotes cartridge and drew it with the black pen. I then used my colored pencils to color it in and frame it. Very Easy but a nice way to dress up my dressingtable!! Thanks for looking.

Some blackboard/chalkboard stuff

Hello I made some little tags for Greg's presents tonight I used the chalkboard look, by stamping in Versamark ink then embossing with white powder and using my heat tool. I used markers to color in some of the images. I went around the edges with white ink to make it look like a proper chalkboard. For the card I added some decorative tape I had in my stash and stamped in black. Thanks for looking.

Tea Box

Hello I made this little tea bag holder for Christmas for my Aunty Joan. I saw an idea on another blog and Greg helped me design it on the Cricut Design Space, it turned out great and it holds 7 tea bags. I made a label on the Cricut and used my red pen to write the sentiment. I used a stamp set I got a long time ago for the cup and tea bag. I cut another cup out of a scrap of patterned paper after I inked in black ink. It turned out cute and is ready for mailing with a little box of soap I made.

Anniversary Card

Hello Happy Saturday I made this card last night for my mom and dad's anniversary coming up in January. I saw an idea in the new Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine it had folded over corners and peek-a-boo cards so I made one like it and folded over the corner and put a heart sticker there. I used Artistry to cut the mason jar vase and flowers I love this image. I also used Artistry to cut the label and write with my Cricut pens. Thanks for looking.

Christmas chocolate boxes for the table

Hello I made these little treat bags on my  Cricut tonight, they are from the Anna Griffin Sophisticated Soiree's Cartridge. I also cut a label from my new Artistry cartridge and used my Cricut pens to write the tags. I added some wooden buttons I've had for a long time in my stash and then I filled them with Lindt Chocolates. I just did this for the photo. But on the weekend we are going to each get a little chocolate gift to put in as a surprise. Thanks for looking : )

Birthday Card

Hello I made this card last night for my Aunty Joan whose birthday is a January birthday so I had my new issue of Quick Cards magazine that I subscribe to on googleplay and they had some nice ideas with tea cups so I was inspired by that and made this cute card. I'm going to send it to the magazine's letters page as who knows I might win a prize : ).

I started with a yellow card blank then added some floral paper. I added a mini doiley and then I used my Cricut to cut out the tea cups, I actually squashed the cup a bit in design space as it was more like a mug so I made it look more like a teacup. I cut 2 in orange patterned paper and one in glittery yellow. I cut the label from my Artistry cartridge and used my Cricut to write my greeting. I added Peachy Keen faces to two of the cups (I think Peachy Keen are wonderful face stamps!). I then cut two flowers and used my yellow distress ink to color them and used my hole punch to cut out the centres using a scrap of the glittery yellow card. Thanks for looking.

Merry Christmas Banner

Hello I made this Merry Christmas Banner tonight on my Cricut, very simple to do and so pretty. I've put it above the window that faces out to the patio : )

Ivy's 3rd birthday card

Hello Happy Friday I made this card tonight for Ivy's 3rd birthday coming up in January. I asked mum and dad if they could get me the new Artistry cartridge for Christmas and it's a digital one and I saw this cute dog on it and asked mum I could use the image now and not use any of the card or stamps that came with it just the digital images and she said of course I could so I was so excited to use this gorgeous dog. I made her look like Ivy and drew some black spots on her. I used a Peachy Keen stamp for the face. I added a crown and a cute bone border as well as writing the sentiment with my Cricut pens. The crown was cut from a scrap of gold paper I had and I added some gems. I think the adorable Miss Ivy will love her card, thanks for looking.

Snowman card

Hello everyone I made this cute snowman Christmas card tonight. I was looking the other day for a homemade eye make up remover recipe and I came across a blog and it turned out the blog belongs to a friend in America Amy that I knew years ago. I emailed her to say hello and she emailed back so I thought I'd send her and her husband and her baby girl a card with a wintery theme. I cut everything on my Cricut then used a Peachy Keen face stamp to stamp the face, these are always so cute! Thanks for looking.
