Back to School 12x12 layout

Ingredients:
Autumn Addition
White Cardstock

How to Create:
Place orange and red Autumn Addition mats on background paper as shown, staggering the red mat so it is about 3/4” lower than the orange mats.

Crop photos to 3-1/4 x 3-3/4”. Place the right and left photos so they are even with the top of the red mat and touching the edges of the red mat. Center the middle photo.

Cut a strip of White Cardstock that is 1/2” wide. Trim 2” off and place under the left photo. Repeat for the right side. Cut a 2 ½” long piece and place vertically above the middle photo.

Punch a large circle with the Circle Maker and place a leaf sticker on it. Repeat with a second leaf sticker. Center the circles under the left and right photos.

Print the journaling on White Cardstock using brown ink. Trim the journaling block to 2x2”. Adhere the journaling to the brown leaf mat and randomly cut around it. Adhere under the middle photo. Place the apple sticker on the bottom right corner.

Hardcover Storybooks 25% off until June 25!

My oldest joined his school lacrosse team this year.  It was a great experience for him – and us!  I’ve created Storybooks for those parents on the team that wanted them & am now waiting for them to be delivered!  Here are a few pages I did featuring my oldest son, Richie. 




I used the Lacrosse Digital Additions – and changed the color and/or hue of the papers & elements to match their team colors (LOVE that plus when working with digital!) 

I did a page for each boy on the team as well as pages featuring each coach,  face offs, teamwork, etc.
Creative Memories offers a volume discount on Storybook orders of 10 or more – as long as they are the same size & type.  The content of the individual books can be different.  So even though each book I made had some different pages (parents will have a double page of their son, single pages of his teammates) we were still able to get the volume discount!  Add that to the 25% off sale CM is having on Storybooks & we saved a bunch!  These make fantastic coaches’ gifts, too!

New CM Cricut Traveler Cartridge!!

I (finally) got a chance to work with this newest cartridge from Creative Memories and Cricut.  It has  2 fantastic fonts, lots of images that cut and layer easily.  This cartridge is perfect to use with travel, water, vacation, tropical/island themed stuff and also has generic tags and phrases you’ll be able to use on most pages.

Here are a few pages I put together using the new Traveler cartridge:

This page uses the following supplies:

Background paper and “Escape” clear sticker :  Cheerful Tropical Additions (available July 1st)

CM Cardstock:  Red, Cloud, Yellow and Carrot

Cricut Cuts from the Traveler cartridge:  Relax and Unwind “Bonnet Creek” = Road Trip font,  Sun4

Background paper, green leaf print paper used for the turtle, clear “ahhh…” sticker:  Cheerful Tropical Additions

Creative Memories Cardstock:  Green, Cloud, Royal Blue, Yellow,  Black & White

Creative Memories Traveler Cricut Cartridge used to cut the following:   Sea Turtle, H20, Water, Wave

I also use a few more new products to create the layouts below:

 

All items are from the  Basketball Additions Kit (available July 1st) except for the title (Royal Blue and Yellow CM Cardstock,) Ruled Paper, Foam Squares and brown Dual Tip Pen around the edges of the journal box and stickers.

Cheerful Summer Additions

Everything except for the tag (made using the Tag Maker – all makers on sale in July!) and the CM Cardstock matting the photos is from the Cheerful Summer Additions kit

(thinking of adding a bit of journaling in that empty space in the middle)

More to come!  I have a page using the travel/explore images from the Traveler Cricut cartridge in the works.
