No Solicitors Sign

Just a quick project I made using Storybook Creator Plus.

SBC+ is Creative Memories' digital scrapbooking software but I probably use it for other things more than I do scrapbook layouts.  You can get a free 30 day trial of SBC+ for free here. image

This & That CM Cartridge saves the day!

image

I am “Queen of the Last Minute Projects”.   I have accepted this and now embrace it!  Vinyl projects are so very quick and easy…perfect for procrastinators and planners alike!

Catholic School’s Week was a bit ago – resulting in lots of fun activities for my boys – penny wars (will put us in the poor house!!) crazy hat & tie day, no homework day (yahoo!) and the 4th graders had a day where they could dress like they were from the future.  Despite Richie’s pleas for a robot costume we decided to do something easier (for both of us – how would he sit?  He didn’t care!)

I suggested this shirt – it had a robot on it and mentioned the future (plus I found it on clearance!)  - what more could you want?

Of course, that wasn’t going to work for him so we brainstormed and came up with this:

A future (space) Olympian!!

I used the This & That Creative Memories Cricut cartridge and cut the images and letters out of self adhesive vinyl. 

Good enough for one day’s wear – everything stayed stuck on throughout the school day and even at night for the spaghetti dinner!

He did wear the robot jersey under the hoodie for his music teacher Smile

Countdown To My Birthday - Cakes and Candles Display Accents Everyday Display Layout

image (Instructions below)

I LOVE this new Cakes and Candles Everyday Display kit – it comes with everything shown below…including 2 circles you can use to countdown the days to a birthday!  The lighter blue circle has numbers printed on it and you rotate it underneath the darker blue scalloped circle (with the circle punched in it) to count down the days!!  It is shown on the Sleek Everyday Display. 

image

Another cute idea!

image

there is also a coordinating Cakes and Candles Addition for your scrapbook!

The project shown at the top of the page (as well as lots more) can be found in the Project Center on my CM website.  Enjoy!!

Ingredients:
Cakes and Candles Display Accents US
Cakes and Candles Display Accents CA
Circle Maker US
Circle Maker CA
Foam Squares US
Foam Squares CA

How to Create:
Add the green paper as a background to the display.

Add the blue circular number paper to the center of the green paper and layer the round “Countdown to my Birthday” circle paper on top with the circle removed to show the correct countdown day.

Hold in place with a magnet in the center of the display.

Add the banner to the bottom of the display with foam squares only under the middle banners to the countdown can still be rotated.

Add the balloons and cupcake to the display with Foam Squares.

Use the circle maker on a small photo of the birthday boy and add to the center of the circle punch out.

Add to the display with foam squares.
