Babycakes

I love the new Babycakes paper pack! I think it is the perfect match for the upcoming December Stamp of the Month, Special Care. I love all the adorable little tags on this stamp set. I thought they would work wonderfully on a baby layout. I like all the different fonts on the tags along with the title that is Cricut cut. A little Alphabet Soup for the Heart 2 Heart Challenge this week. :)

Buzz and Bumble Layout

One of my projects for Spring Break was to create a layout using the Buzz and Bumble paper for our club meeting in April. I had heard some say they felt the paper was very neutral and lacked color so I added a little more color with the Sweet Leaf, Creme Brulee, and Sunset. I love Hexagons and Honeycombs! They are definitely two of my favorite elements for scrapbooking and I love the way the worked together to create this layout!

Artbooking with an Attitude!

Welcome to the Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop!  The blogger in front of me is Jen Patrick. The Stampers with an Attitude are excited to show you some Artwork with an Attitude using our incredibly awesome new Close to My Heart exclusive Cricut Artbooking Collection, so here we go.

I am loving the new Huntington paper pack and when I saw this cute tree overlay on the Artbooking Cartridge, I knew they would be perfect together. I modified the first page layout a little and used a design out of the Reflections book so I could feature a few more pictures (now to find those pictures, lol). I also used the Kraft paper as my base pages and stamped the Poster Tidings SOTM using sponge daubers to apply several fall colors of ink. This will also be my club layout for October and I am entering it in the Heart 2 Heart Brown Paper Packages challenge. I really love how quick and easy it is to use the Artbooking cartridge to create a layout!

The next blogger on the hop is Kimberly Moss

Seasons Change


As school began this last week, the temperatures also began to cool down just a little and the football season started which means fall is in the air. Autumn is one of my favorite times of year. After a long hot summer, the cooler weather is a welcome relief. Of course being from Texas, Friday night lights is a big part of our fall. We love to go see the band march and watch the football game. When I first looked at the sketch this week for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, I immediately thought about doing leaves down the side of the card. Then when I checked out the challenge for Heart 2 Heart this week and it was a color challenge that would be great for fall leaves, I know it was the perfect choice. I used the rock and roll method to add several different colors to each leaf to give them the colors of Autumn. I love the way this method worked for the sentiment also. I was a little surprised at how the Cashmere ink looked green when mixed with the other colors, a nice added bonus for my leaves. I am loving the new Huntington paper pack and hope to have some time over the next week to create a layout for some of our fall pictures this year.
