Darn blogger!!

Well, I stayed up late last night after we put the boys to bed to finish a couple more projects for My Pink Stamper's National Scrapbooking Day challenges, but when I was done and uploading the pictures at 11:15, both blogger and photobucket kept freezing on me and 45 minutes later, submissions closed and I still didn't have any photos uploaded!  I was so upset, I wanted to get a couple more projects in for more chances to win that Imagine but no such luck - so I hope that with the ones I already created, I'll win from those! 

This challenge was to create a summer themed project - I decided to make a scrapbook page of my son's first trip to the park when he was a baby (his photos are covered for his privacy)!  Even though I can't submit it for the challenge, I'll still post it on here because I do love how it came out!  :-)  Of course, the picture uploaded in no time this morning...

I used the 'Locker Talk' Cricut cartridge to cut the swingset and slide, then I gave them some dimension using my green Gelly Roll pen.  I used DCWV 'Playtime' Stack for both the base page and the photo mats - I just love this stack!  I used the 'Cricut American Alphabet' Cricut cartridge to cut the title out, I used the negative of the font for the 'at the' part of the title.

Thanks for stopping by!

NSD Challenge #10

This challenge from My Pink Stamper was to make a layout or a card with a pet in it, so I chose to make a layout of my son (I've covered his face for privacy reasons) and our dog Molli!

I used a page from DCWV 'Dots, Stripes & Plaids' stack for the LO base.  I cut the title out of cardstock from my stash using the new 'Cricut American Alphabet' cart on my E2.  The dog was cut from Everyday Paper Dolls, I used my Zig 2 Way glue pen on her nose, to make it shiny and then pop-dotted it to give it some dimension, I thought it was a fun trick I discovered!  :-)  The journaling box was from the Imaginesce 'Dino Roar' collection and the paw print stamp is from My Pink Stamper 'Even More Punny-licious' set.

I've been making so many cards lately, so making this layout made me realize how much I miss working on our scrapbooks!  So expect to see more LOs from me very soon, I'm so far behind on the boys' scrapbooks, that I really do need to get busy so I'm not scrapping their newborn pictures when they're in high school!  ;-)
