Softball layout

I've been trying to finish this layout for a couple weeks now. I had all the elements down, but just hadn't had time to finish the journaling on it. Finally...I'm done!

This is another LID challenge from the Cricut messageboard.  THIS is where you can find the sketch that I followed, but I won't be posting this layout there because we have a brand spankin' new messageboard.  I think I'll probably post this there.

The solid papers are Bazzill and the patterned papers are from Michael's.  They came in a pack of various black and white patterns and cost about 5.99 before coupon.  I think I need to start writing down the names of the papers I use.  I always think I'm going to remember...but my 30 year old mind just isn't what it used to be-LOL! 

The title was created using the Varsity and Hello Kitty Font Cricut cartridges.  The 'my' words were Cricut...but I just can't remember which cart I used.  Sorry about that!  Other carts used were A Child's Year (father/daughter image) and Plantin Schoolbook (scalloped border). 

I used Gypsy Wanderings to cut this shape out and the journaling is computer generated.

The banner I created using Celebrations.  I used some dimensional pop dots to make it stand out a little bit.

Thanks for stopping by to look! 

Baby Layout

Here's another layout I did for the LID challenge on the Cricut messageboard.  This layout was also made using the DCWV spring stack...I am totally getting my money's worth out of this stack!  I've already made about 5 layouts and a couple of cards using this stack.

In this piece, I cut the grass out using Plantin Schoolbook.  I welded three grass cuts together and cut it out twice.  Thank I inked it all (yes, every....single....blade...of...grass...on....both...sides) which took forever and then layered both images to give it a very dimensional effect.  I think it looks cool, so my time was well spent :)

The title was created using Simply Sweet, Nursery Rhymes, New Arrival, and Holiday Cakes.   For the word, grassy, I spelled it out using Simply Sweet.  Using my Gypsy, I shortened and stretched and manipulated the size of the letters until I achieved my desired effect.

The words little baby are from Nursery Rhymes.  The image had a heart between the two words that couldn't be hidden with the hide contour feature, so I just cut out the whole word and then snipped the heart out by hand.

The word feet was made using Holiday Cakes and I welded it and stretched it a little with my Gypsy.  It's amazing how you can achieve the look of a totally different font by just playing around with your sizes using the Gypsy.  That is the best money I've ever spent....

The feet were cut from the New Arrival cartridge.

Thanks for looking at my layout!  Have a great day :)

Bakin' My Birthday Cake Layout

Hey everyone...I have a few projects to post. I've been spending so much time scrapping that I haven't been able to post my creations! lol

Here's a layout I did for the Laying It Down challenge on the Cricut MB. The sketch can be found at http://phutchsketches.blogspot.com/

Products used include paper from The Paper Studio's Sugar and Spice glitter stack. The word Yummy is pink Jewel paper from JoAnn's. The word 'baking' was created using Heidi Grace rub ons and putting them onto circles I cut from my Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge. Other Cricut carts used include Create a Critter (birthday), Lyrical Letters (my), From My Kitchen (cake, mixer), Don Juan (yummy), and Holiday Cakes (brown border strips). I used a white Gellyroll pen for the faux stitching and chalk inks to ink the edges of my cuts.

Thanks for stopping by!
