I'm a TEASER!

I love it when a plan comes together! I envisioned this one night in bed and had to actually get up and get my notepad to sketch it out. I have now learned to just leave my notepad by the bed just in case the creative mojo hits in the middle of the night again. Yes, I dream about scrapbooking layouts in my sleep. Do they have an "AA” group for that? "Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am addicted to SCRAPBOOKING!"

Well I created this layout to teach for a Cricut Swarm that my local scrapbook store puts on. To find out more information go to P.S. I Love You Scrapbooking.

I will not be able to share the cutting instructions on this layout at this time, sorry! That's why I am such a TEASER today! But it turned out so cute I just had to share. Happy Scrappin!

Garden Goodies - Stretch Your Imagination Cuts

Sorry I missed yesterday. I'm a slacker what can I say!

Here is a list of cuts using the Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge.

Tall Grass and Cricket, use dark green cardstock, size 5 1/2, Shift feature key and hit the grass button (Row 1, Key 7).
Use light green cardstock to cut the layer of this following the same cuts as above.

Birdhouse, use Ivory for base, dark Green for layers, and I hand cut a strip of brown to make a post. All cuts in size 4 and use the "shifted" birdhouse button (Row 4, Key 2)

Say tuned for tomorrow and learn the sizes for the cuts from "Pooh and Friends".

Garden Goodies - Walk in my Garden Instrucitons

Garden Goodies Layout

"Garden Goodies" Layout
I used the Cricut and a combination of cartridges to built this gorgeous garden scene. To complete this layout you will need the following cartridges:
Stretch Your Imagination
Walk In My Garden
Pooh and Friends

I started this layout with a Sky blue cardstock base and then used my curvy cutter to cut the green wavy grass and adhered it to the bottom of the layout.

Stay in touch, tomorrow I will give you the instructions and sizes to complete all of the cuts using the Walk In My Garden Cartridge.

Happy Scrappin!

New Look!

Did anyone notice I did a "Fashion Lift" on my Blog? I love the new look! Maybe this will encourage me to post each day now.

Monday will be the day I post a NEW layout and then I will give "HINTS" as to how you can complete the layout on your own each day for the rest of the week. By Friday you will have enough instructions to complete the layout on your own. The next Monday I will post a new layout and a new set of instructions for each day of the next week.

Here is a little peak.
