CIU #349 - Makes Me Happy

 

Hello and happy Friday, here to share my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #349 is This Makes me Happy. I decided to create a layout using some pictures of me, my children and my dad  taken after the celebration of my mom's life service last year.  Family is all we have and anytime I spend with my family is usually happy even though it may not be a happy occasion. We are coming up on a year and it is still hard, I know that there is no time limits related to grief so I try not to dwell on the loss.

When I created my layout I used miscellaneous papers from various paper pada or packages.  I used two different die sets to cut the hearts and my Cricut to cut the word family, used some Echo Park stickers for the word love,  added some Prima flowers and a few gems and this layout was done.  I had a hard time getting a good picture. I am sharing this layout for the Anything Goes challenge #177 over at Love to Scrap.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration.  Create and share your project using a die and the theme, the challenge starts today ands Monday, February 16, 2026 at noon PST.

CIU #340 - More Than One Die Cut

 

Hello, Happy  Friday and let the weekend begin!  Today's project share is my design project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #340 was to create a project using one than one die cut, I decided to create a scrapbook layout and use one of my electronic cutting machines.

When putting my layout together, I scrapped pictures from my college reunion that I attended last Spring.  This page is actually the second page from the weekend!  I used papers from the DCWV, Stripes and Plaids paper pad,  two different Cricut cartridges to cut the fan and the hat; used a Concord & 9th stamp and die set for the boot.  I like how this page came together and happy that I finally finished another scrapbook page!  I am sharing this layout for the Anything Goes challenge #175 over at Love to Scrap.

Now that you've seen my project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration.  Create and share your project using more than one die cut, the challenge starts today and ends Monday, October 13, 2025 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit continue to be safe and hurry back again soon!

She's That Girl

Hello and happy Tuesday, it is going to be another really hot day outside so that means staying inside until I leave for the day. It won't be much cooler when I leave either but it is suppose to be a few degrees cooler today than yesterday!

Today's project share is a LO that I worked on while I was at the crop on Saturday, for some reason I can't ever really complete a project while I'm at the crop always need to add something else when I get home.  When putting this LO, I really just used mostly scraps of paper, the two pattern pieces came from the DCWV Homeroom Stack., tag was leftover from another project and the wooden veneers are from American Crafts.  I cut the title using the Graphically Speaking Cricut cartridge and the car is from the Locker Talk cartridge.

I sharing this LO for the Freestyle challenge #359 over at Hiding in my Craft Room and the Anything Goes challenge #111 over at Love to Scrap.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back again soon.
