The Gifts-Layout

Hi and glad that your here with me today, were getting a bit warmer here the January thaw we call it here in PA, coming a bit late now that we are in February, just glad to get away from those negative temps for a while. The finale of the birthday party is when Dad and Son opened son's birthday gifts.

Pieces for this layout came from the November Counterfeit Challenge Kit besides some cardstock from my stash.
On the left page I used 2-black and white die cut labels from the Life's Little Occasions pack and the together came from K&Company EcoModern Die-cut cardstock pack
Added a little velum quote to the top corner of the mat. the mat was Accent Essentials at fit to page
the presents came from a cutout sheet: Oscrap Sampler. I also used glossy accents to embelish the presents a bit
The 2nd page of the layout holds most of the pics of the toys :) I definitely like to include as many pictures in a layout that I can. I have some saved back for a personal layout for us to hold on to, cause we found out through the pictures that we scored major grandparent points with the wooden train that we gave Zachary :)
 The die cuts: B is for Boy: Train @ 3" and the Dump truck @ 2.5" and from Boys will be Boys the phrase Toys @ 2"
The corner sticker came from Pebbles share & tell Party Time Boy 4 X 6 creative pad the 2 orange border pieces came fromdoodlebug Paper Frills-tangerine pack
This bottom section shows the frame and birthday gift cut out from Oscrap Sampler with glossy accents added to the gift and the scattered star stickers are from the 4 X 6 pad mentioned above
2 more close up shots of the layout
This was a fun lay out to put together and I loved the additional die cuts representing the toys but out all the photos of this day even the one here with Zach playing with the train we got him. Is the photo on the 1st page where Son and Father are looking directly at each other, Yep I think Brad will be Zach's favorite toy.

Super Excited for FCCB-Spotlight Layout

Hi you all! I'm super excited because I'm the Guest Designer this week at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. Today begins their weekly challenge to use 3 pattern papers mix and match and my project is being featured along with the Design Team's isn't that cool! I was so excited when I was asked to join in, so I want to say thank you to them for including me this week! To enter the " " Challenge, click HERE.
I made a layout for my G-Son's one year book, His First Steps...
We've been waiting days for Zach to take his first steps and then we see the top picture on facebook, there he is taking his first steps to his Grandfather-Katherine's father. It was wonderful to see this :)
With a little help of the lawnmower he's just getting around so well that week all on his own, so proud :)
Okay so back to the making of the layout, the challenge was to use 3 pattern papers (mix and match) I'm lucky enough to already had my paper picked out from my  November Counterfeit Challenge kit (yep that one is still hanging around)  so I chose the red cardstock for the background and included
 the blue paper and yellow graph paper to make my die cuts for the layout. The Look Here came from Cricut Sampler cartridge cut at 2.5" and the negative of the cut was brought into the actual picture to point at the step he was making. I also used B is for Boy for the Footprints they were done with the layer option in real dial size of 1.75 for the foot and 2" for the shadow.
 Now the 3rd pattern piece comes from the diagonal vellum piece of blue footprints and thought is was fitting for this layout.
 The journaling block came for a cut out sheet in the Jan kit and that could also be considered a pattern piece too. This was a fun layout to do and I just love seeing the big milestones in Zach's life. Just a few more layouts and the album will be complete.
Used various stickers in this layout also and the vellum Moment in Time for a cut out sheet.
Thanks for stopping by the blog today and thank you to Fantastic Cricut Challenge Blog for choosing me to be their spotlight designer this week it is a special honor for me.
Tomorrow I'll have a Thank You card for Card A Day Blog see you then....

I'll be entering this into the Exploring Cricut challenge this week: Cricut Choice with using the color blue-2 cricut cuts-pattern paper

Oh yes their is some blog candy to talk about :)
