Scrapbook Layout Kits I Made

Here is my first of three design kits I am making:

Materials Used:

• Cricut cartridges Country Life and Ribbons and Rosettes
• Imagine cartridge Imagine More Cards
• October Afternoon Farmhouse collection
• Stampin' Up! cardstock Ruby Red
• Bazzil cardstock
• Kraft cardstock
• Stampin' Up! waffle paper in brown
• Stampin' Up! linen thread
• Stampin' Up! Spiral punch
• Misc. ribbon in gray
• Vintage milk bottle cap
• Brown thread
• Ranger distress ink in Antique Linen
• liquid Pearls in Buttercup

I added liquid Pearls to the lettering for more dimension and tied a couple on linen ties on as well.

I sewed on the ribbon for both the aesthetic look and for durability.

This is an actual vintage milk bottle cap! I punched two holes to make it into a button.   I also sprayed with archival spray to keep photos safe. 

I was even able to make a BONUS 12x12 with one more sheet of cardstock and the leftovers from the 12x24:

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge # 21: Animal Magnetism

Weekly Challenge #21: Animal Magnetism Challenge!
This week we have been paying tribute to the critters in our lives and now we want you to do the same! For this challenge your project must include something related to an animal. You can create your project for or about an animal, include an animal cut, use animal print, etc. Project must also contain atleast 2 Cricut image cuts to qualify.

I am SO behind in my scrapbooking that for this challenge, I decided to work on some of my older photographs. These pics come from a road trip vacation we took in 2007. On our way to the Blue Ridge Mountains, we decided to make several roadside attraction stops (if your going to do it, then do it all the way...right?). We stopped at the "Big Cow", "World Globe", and "America's Smallest Church".

Supplies:
* Most of the cuts are from the cart Summer Vacation, but I did list the other carts that I took a cut or so from (Inspired Heart, Country Life & My World).

* Stampin Up Cardstock

* DCWV Travel Stack

* SU brads

* Red Stickles

* Diamond? cuttlebug folder

* Expresso SU marker

* White gelly pen
