Believe Workshop Pages

Good evening!

I just finished teaching my Believe scrapbook workshop about an hour ago. We finished in 2 1/2 hours and actually made 2 cards and 6 pages. It was so great catching up with 2 of my favorite ladies.

Sorry it has taken me so long to post the pictures for this workshop. Not sure how time gets away from me, these days.

So, the first 2 layouts are pretty much as the CTMH Art Dept. planned them to be. The last layout was designed based on a Studio J digital layout, and adapted to a traditional (handmade) layout. I used the Cricut to cut the scalloped circle, as well as the large center circle. Can I just add that I love our Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge? It's the only one that I use.

If you would like more info. on how to make one of these like you see in the picture, please don't hesitate to e-mail me at casandrab1976@yahoo.com. I'd be happy to share the details with you.

Enjoy what's left of your weekend, and Happy Holidays from my house to your's!

Baby Shower Album Pages

I have been a busy girl today, finishing up some layouts for a baby shower gift.

Back in July, I participated in a 14/12 swap. What this means, basically, is that I completed 7 layouts for the month of July and 7 layouts for the month of April. In return, I received an entire year's worth of finished scrapbook pages.

Because our cousins' Bryan & Angie are having a boy, it required me to change a few layouts (haha, didn't think they'd want pink pages). I also made (2) 1/2 layouts for the front and back of the album. All they will have to do is slip their family photo's in place and they will have a lifetime of memories to behold.

So here they are (the one's I completed today):

Animal Cookies Creative Basics Paper (Retired)

Bohemian Alphabet Stamp Set

Zoology Stamp Set

You & Me Stamp Set

Gold Rush, Chocolate & Clover Meadow Inks

Colonial White Ric Rac

Reflections How-To-Program

My favorite one is the Winter Wonderland layout. Those little characters are just so fun, and add a nice touch of whimsy. Just goes to show that if you have the right stamps, you don't need stickers.

I always love to hear your comments, so please feel free to let me know what you think. Have a wonderful weekend!
