Google layout

Hello! I have been trying to scrapbook more layouts this year. Here is one I just finished.

I love scrapbooking birthdays, vacations and holidays but I also like to remember the funny moments. For instance, the day the Google camera car drove past us. My husband found the picture online and took a screenshot. The faces are blurred for everyone caught on Google Maps Streetview.

The Google logo and "search" button were very easy to create with Cricut Craft Room. The computer home page paper is by DCWV, The Generation Tech stack.

Washington DC mini album

I loved travelling last month to Washington DC so much that as soon as I returned I started to work on this album. This is an accomplishment for me because I rarely appear in pictures or scrap myself. I am one of those Moms who always take the pictures but never appear in them.

I wanted to make a mini album that I could put all of my maps and souvenirs in. If I could smoosh it in, I did.





























I cut up my lanyard to create a souvenir pocket. The plastic part works perfectly to hold all my maps and tickets. I left an open spot for a picture of my kids wearing their DC t-shirts that I brought back.



The only Cricut cartridges I used were Destinations, Going Places and Gypsy Wanderings for the page shapes. All of the paper is from the Great Vacation Stack by DCWV.

I love how it turned out!

Sunny thank you

So many end of the school year cards to make... I figure I might as well have some fun and enter some challenges while I am at it!

Fabulous Friday Challenge layout

Frosted Designs' challenge this week is to use brads on your project. This layout is from our family's visit last week to a traveling Titanic Museum. When you enter the exhibit, you are given a boarding pass featuring the bio of a real passenger on the Titanic, 99 years ago. When you depart the museum, you can find out if your passenger survived or not.



I decided that I wanted to include our boarding passes in the layout. I wanted them to not be glued down in case the kids wanted to reread their passenger's story. Brads seemed like the solution for this dilemma. I also used a brad for the steering wheel. The ship is cut from the Going Places cartridge and the wheel is from Life is a Beach. The waves are scraps from my Goggles layout from last week! I used Glossy Accents on the portholes so they looked more window-like.

Road trip challenge

During summer holidays, in our city there is a place where children can drive battery operated cars through a pretend village with drive thrus, a drive-in movie theatre, stoplights, rail way crossings and a car wash.

This layout is for the Fantabulous Cricut challenge this week.



I added a souvenir pocket my daughter's "driver's license".




All cuts are from Going Places. I had so much fun with this layout!

Not tropical enough

... says DH for the Fantabulous Cricut challenge this week. What do you think?



The card is cut from the card feature on Life is a Beach. The water skier is from Going Places with some embroidery floss as the rope. The awesome sun is from H20 (my favorite cartridge this week). The sun and skier are pop-dotted.

My son needed this card right away for a birthday party so I can't change it to make it more tropical. (His friend loves all water sports.)

Summer layout

I wanted to enter a challenge for She's a Sassy Lady Her challenge was to create a summer project - showing something you enjoy in the summer. There are already many beautiful entries. I thought I would do a layout showing something I would like to do this summer - take a Family Road Trip!



This is my first "Gypsy layout"! So happy about that! It took some trial and error to get everything figured out but I'm happy with the results. All the cuts are from Going Places other than the letters GPS.
