Pickin' Berries

Here is another layout! This is a fun layout. I love the color red and I had so much fun this day
pickin berries and making jam with my children. The berries were cut out with my Cricut and the word Berry was cut out with an old template. Yep, that means I traced and cut out the word.
I haven't done that in a long time. I just really liked this font so I did it.

I have always been a scrapbooker and really enjoyed it. I joined Stampin' Up in 2003 so from that time on I turned over to stamping and scrapbooking took a back seat. This is also when digital cameras came into play. I no longer needed to develop my photos to see them. I could see all of my photos on the computer. So scrapbooking has not been a priority. I quit Stampin' Up last year and ever since I still have not scrapbooked. Here is a picture of a layout I did a long time ago. I thought I would post more layouts in hopes to spark my interest into scrapbooking my many many photos.

Recipe:

Cardstock: Bazzill
Die Cuts: Sizzix Hawaiian Set

Robyn is looking for SMORE Design Team Members

Let me start by saying that I love stamping, scrapbooking, and papercrafting. I am also a mom of 5 so life gets very busy at times. I MAKE time to play with all of my crafting goodies otherwise I would never get a chance to use all that I have. Robyn from My Pink Stamper is looking for a couple more people to participate on her design team. So she has given a challenge to create a project, card, or scrapbook page. The twist is we have to use our FAVORITE cartridge along with the following colors (Brown, Green, Orange, Turquoise, and another color of our choice :optional). So, I am excited to share one of my projects using my new favorite Cricut Cartridge-- Camping Critters. I just got back from Girls Camp with my church so I have camping on the brain. I bought Camping Critters so I could make goodies for the girls at camp. I never did get to make those goodies. I did however make a huge poster and put all of their pictures from camp. It turned out very nice. I'll post a picture of that soon. Well, when Robyn suggested using the color Turquoise, Brown, Green, and Orange I started looking through all of my cardstock and printed papers. I found the Happy Camper paper line from Imaginisce and it had ALL of those colors AND it is SUPER adorable. This project that I have here is an idea for a Secret Sister gift at camp. In the back pack it has a little bag of nuts. The other treats are a make it yourself SMORES kit. This gift is perfect for a first time camp attendee or otherwise known as a first year girl. Hope you like it! Good luck to everyone that has participated. I love all of the cards I have seen posted so far. Fun Fun!

In the Kitchen

I love the From my Kitchen cartridge simply because I love all things cooking. I made this card for my SIL for her birthday. She is the process of getting her kitchen remodled. I thought this card would be appropriate.

Favorite PEEPS!!!

This card was made using SVG cuts Easter Morning. I just love these adorable little yellow peeps. Now yellow is actually not my favorite color to eat. I prefer pink.
I thought light yellow would look much better on this card. I used the salutation "One of my favorite peeps" from Amuse Artstamps. Peeps make me happy! How about you??
