DCWV Layout Challenge

As you all can tell, I needed a little push to get my scrapbook mojo going (and to update my blog)!  This challenge seemed like the perfect one to attempt since I'm a 2-page layout type of gal!  I decided to use the Green Stack from DCWV that has been calling me since I purchased it along with my daughter's Casella Waste Mgmt. contest win photos!  This day was quite special for my daughter since she is the youngest and tends to think all the good things happen for her sister (which isn't true, but when you are 9 and your sister is 12.... it just seems that way!).  Anyway..... in December my daughter will be receiving (10) 2012 calendars with her picture as one of the 13 (12 months and 1 cover picture).  Congratulations again to my sweet daughter, Michalyn!
 

Thanks for looking!  (In the photo is one of the Casella Family members, too!  I thought it was nice they sent an actual family member to give the award!)

One Big Stop!

Another one of our stops on the way to the Cape last year was to the Ikea in Stoughton, Massachusetts.  There is only one word to describe this place --- BIG!  I was shocked when we pulled into the parking lot and saw the massive building ahead of me.  I was in HEAVEN......  We only spent a little time searching for the bi-gel rods I wanted but I managed to find other goodies in the short time I was there!  If only we had one of these stores near my house!

           Tools Used:

          Lettering (Big):  Plantin Schoolbook

          Lettering (Stop):  Alphalicious

          Shopping Bag:  Celebrations

          Other Embellishments:  Ribbon, 2 Buttons, Stickles

Bouquets, Bookmarks, and more!

These were some bookmarks I made for my Girl Scouts for Bridging. I think they came out pretty good for a new Cricut owner!

This is the sign I made to try and recruit new leaders to Girl Scouts. I wish I knew about using a laser level when I did the word 'Become' in the middle of the sign.

These were 2 of the teacher bouquets I made last Spring. I used buckets from The Christmas Tree Shop (love that store)!

Sharing more layouts (pre-blog)

Since I'm new to the 'blog world', here are some previous layouts I did using my cricut and other materials! I hope you enjoy!

The Perfect Ride

What is better than a carousel ride on a Kindergarten field trip?! My daughter enjoyed seeing many of the old buildings at the Shelburne Museum, however, the real treat was the carousel ride! I think she rode it more times than I could count that day! I decided to make this page about that ride!

Products used: DCWV paper, prima flowers, Making Memories brads, ribbon, and Stickles.
(Please note: The ribbon was adjusted after this image was taken)
