Autumn Fairy

I saw that Practical Scrappers was looking for several types of layouts and one call was for layouts featuring the color brown. I immediately thought of Kenna wearing her fairy costume! I'm really trying to improve my picture taking skills. This is so much richer IRL. It's a pretty simple layout, but I cut the kraft cardstock out 3 times for the flourish to imitate chipboard and to give it more dimension.

Cricut Die-cuts: autumn-Stretch Your Imagination; fairy-Gypsy font (welded); flourish-? (can't find it); leaves-Gypsy Wanderings, Doodlecharms, Stretch Your Imagination
Background paper: DCWV-The Fall Stack
Bling Flourish: clearance from Michaels
Kraft cardstock--sprayed with Maya Mist-Bronze Metallic

Scrappy Saturday's Challenge #2

I'm back! Another challenge--this time "Something Lovey". This was actually difficult for me. I had NO idea what I was going to use. Then I found some pictures I had printed and hadn't been scrapped. What better way to enter a "lovey" challenge than to scrap pictures taken at Boldt Castle on Heart Island!! It's a beautiful place and if you're ever in Alexandria Bay, NY, then please take a boat tour or taxi and visit. It's a true love story and a beautiful location. Hey, I should know. I worked there for 3 summers and hoped to get married there one day. (check that one off the list, lol!)

Back to businees--the cartridges I used:

• Hearts--Gypsy Wanderings, hiding the highlight. The one on the left I took off the proportion link and stretched to get as big as would fit in approx. 6 in wide and not be too tall for the page.
• Boldt Castle--Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons, with a shadow.
• Heart Island--Gypsy Font, welded using my gypsy.

Let's take a closer look. I'm still working on how to take a good picture of a 2 page layout.

Base cardstock is DCWV. I have so much of this! I'm trying to use it as much as possible because I don't like it. The textured surface really makes it difficult to get things to stick. The patterned paper is from CM. Have I ever mentioned before just how much scrapbooking stuff I have?? Let's put it this way, I would never have to buy another thing again and still have plenty for my grandkids to leave their wills. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the choices I have and wind up not getting anything accomplished.

Anyway, this was fun. Glad to be scrapping again! Maybe I'll even do another layout before the next challenge is announced!!

So Peyton

Here's another layout I did recently. I've had it 95% completed for a LOOONNNGGG time. I recently found my inspiration picture and decided to finish it off. I used my Cricut (Gypsy and 5 fonts) to create the subtitles.

So...dust off a layout that you've had sitting around and get to work!!
