Here are a bunch of layouts I got from "For Every Scrapbook" one of my favorite craft places. Some are blurry-sorry, but hope you can get the gist of the layout. :)
































Here are some cards I made thinking of Valentines and Weddings.



This is one for a cousin's wedding. I thought I would have a little fun.

A delay

I have been working hard and diligent on some layouts, the problem is my computer (the one with the software to get the pictures transfered) fried. We are waiting to see if we can get a replacement. I should know within a week, then there should be a barf post with all I have been doing......check back soon :)

I made most of these with the help of my cricut. I added embelishments of a different variety to most of them. There are some cards and some scrapbook layouts.
Cards:
There are two like this, just with a few differences in the embelishments.


Punched the border at the bottom out with a punch I have, then added buttons and brads along with a sticker on white paper to make it jump out.

Just added a sticker and ribbon to finish this card.


Used a cricut cartridge to cut this out. Added embelishments to finishe it off.

Just used 2x2 squares and layered them. Then put the Happy Birthday on and added brads once to the "tags"

This is a light blue on a black-even thought it looks brown. I think it would look good on a brown too. I added some brads to the "tags" on the birthday.

This is a card and envelope made with the "Wild Card" cartridge.

Just the envelope.

Just the card.

American Crafts

I just found a place that is having a great sale. Here is their web site. I was able to go and get 100 sheets of scrapbook paper for $6 or less. It is great. Anyone who is in utah they are having their sale until the 20 of the month. They are located at around 467 North 1500 West in Orem. They have paper, embellishments, stickers, rub-ons, ribbon, books, etc for a GREAT price. I wish I had a lot more money and I would go back and get a LOT more. I was able to get some christmas gifts from them. I can't wait to get a couple of other things done so I can play and get caught up with my scrapbooking and card making.

Blessing Quilt


This one is easy yet hard all in one. All you need is some white fabric that you like. Then you find your binding-I found a satin one I thought just really made the blanket. Now if you want to continue withe easy you can just sew with white thread top make squares or triangles. If you like a pattern, which is harder, you find the pattern you like and quilt it. Now the quilting can be easy if you know someone who has a machine. Or you can be like me and put the pattern on the blanket, the quilt it by hand. Yes I said by hand. It took me a little while, but I did not think it was that bad. I loved the way it turned out. If you want the stitches to show more you could find a colored thread you want. I just wanted mine all white.
