Baby Album

Here's the album I made for Nichole's baby. I used DCWV Nana's Nursery paper stack. Most of the die cuts are from the New Arrival cart for the Cricut.

Diaper Cake

I made this diaper cake for my "baby" sister's baby shower. It's only the third one I've made. Not too bad.

From Mojo Monday

I love perusing the Mojo Monday blog. There are so many cute cards on it! I don't often actually follow a sketch but last week I came across this sketch and decided to try it.

The stamp is Stampendous H197 Snail Fluffles. The patterned papers are from the DCWV Flower Shower spring stack.

Baby Invites

This is the invitation to my "baby" sister's baby shower. I used the Design Studio for the Cricut with the New Arrival cartridge.

Paper Flowers

My mil is in the ICU. She can't have flowers so I made her a pot of paper flowers. This is my first attempt and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I used the George cartridge on the Cricut and the paper is from an old DCWV Spring Stack.

Misc Cards

Europe Album

I have been working on my album from our trip to Europe last summer. I am about half way done. By the time I'm finished, I will not want to look through the album anymore because I'll be sick of it. I went through the pictures while we were on our trip, then again when we came home. Then I went through them again-twice for each day-to pick out the ones I wanted for the album. I only have three days of pictures left to go through and print out. Everything else is printed. I'll start posting some of the layout's I'm doing for this album.

To make it simple, I chose a paper stack from K and Co.and purchased 5 or 6 of the pads. Between the sales and using coupons, I was able to stay within a reasonable price for the paper. Then I purchased some of the matching embellishments for this stack. I used the Happy Trails specialty paper stack. Click here for a picture of the paper stack I used.

By using the same papers and embellishments, I am able to streamline the album and save some time. Of course, it still takes me forever because I have to figure out the layouts for everything. Since I blogged the whole trip on my personal blog, and I'm just revising what I wrote and printing it out. I've set up the album so that each day has a minimum of a 2 page LO. Some days have 4 or 6 pages. It will be a thick album by the time I'm done.

Ok, I have only one layout on my computer so here it is. I'll share more as I take more pictures.
