21 and Legal

21 years old. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday my first born little boy was starting kindergarten. I was teaching him how to tie his shoes and write his name.  One day he was playing t-ball and the next he was graduating highschool. Somewhere along the way he grew into a wonderful young man. I miss those  little boy days, but I also look forward to all the days to come. Marriage, Fatherhood, Home Ownership... Living life to the fullest.

On this two page layout I used Lyrical Letters for the font, Block Party for the Pina Colada drink, Celebrations for the party hat and Hello Kitty for the cupcake.

Father's Day Layout

Todays layout was made using the new Block Party Lite cartridge. For Father's Day this year we bought Hubby a new grill and of course I had to take pictures of it to scrapbook. Unfortunately I couldn't wait for the Gypsy update for the Lite cartridges. I had to make my cuts using trial and error. The sizes I ended up using are as follows:  The Barbeque guy was cut at 4 1/2", the grill was cut at 4" and the steak in the upper left hand corner was cut at 1 1/2". The Happy Father's Day was cut from the Calligraphy cartridge at 4".

Tomato Thief

 

These are pictures of my sons dog. My husband had planted a tomatillo plant and was eagerly waiting for them to ripen. Unfortunately the dog found the plant before hubby had a chance to pick them. In these pictures the dog was pulling off the tomatillo, squeezing through the railing that was meant to keep him out and then running off to the lawn to eat it. I used the new Cricut Lite cartridge Block Party for the tomatoes and the dog. I also used the Sugar and Spice cartridge for the scallop circle.

Hot Dog card

 

Quick and simple birthday card made with Block Party for the hot dog and A Child's Year for the font.

Block Party & Celebrate with Flourish

Love love love these new Cricut Lite cartridges. I am having so much fun making layouts. For these two 12x12 pages I used Block Party for the Boy and Girl (cut at 8") and the dog and cat (cut at 4"). I used Celebrate with Flourish for the Sunny Days and the Sun/cloud (cut at 4"). The grass was cut at 12" from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.

Block Party Layout

Is this the cutest layout or what? I ran to WalMart to check out the new Lite Cricut Cartridges as soon as I heard they were out. I picked up Block Party and Handy Man. This layout was made using the Block Party cartridge for the people, grill and Come 'n Get It. The fence and grass were cut from Paper Doll Dress Up. The Clouds, sun and tree were cut from Create A Critter- one of my all time favorites. This layout came together very quickly and was a lot of fun. It just puts a smile on my face because it's so cheery.
