Pandemic Pumpkin

I love this jack-o-lantern our daughter carved last year! She used clementines for the family and I cut up a disposable mask for their face-coverings.

I created this cut file in Design space including the title.

Here is the file.
PANDEMIC PUMPKIN

A very Canadian layout

I'm really not sure what Canada Day will look like this year. Today, I'm sharing my layout from 2020. Our family stayed home but we did all wear red and white and, of course, we took a picture. I'm hoping you can tell this is a replication of a Hudson Bay blanket made with strips of paper. Easy peasy and I love the result!

Graduation 2021 - side edge card with Design Space file

I just love using the new offset feature to create this style of card called a side-edge card. In fact, I am a big fan of all the new updates to Cricut Design Space that have come out in the past few weeks. I have just over a thousand Design Space files saved in all my years of using an Explore. (EEK! I know, so many.) Therefore, being able to group my files in themes or purpose has been fabulous! Everytime I sit down at my desktop I do a bit of grouping of my many files. For example, this card will be added to my collection of graduation cards. Grouping them this way makes it so much easier to find what I am looking for even if it's years later. I will often replicate a design and therefore it's nice not having to hunt and scroll.

Cricut Access Premium

If you would like to make one of these cards, please help yourself to my file. The file uses cuts from my Access Subscription. I do recommend having a Cricut subscription as it gives you endless options that are always being updated and added to. I also appreciate the timely cuts that are added like the COVID-19 designs.

Now, onto Father's Day cards!

Herd, you’re moving card

My new favorite style of card are side-edge cards using the offset function in Design Space. I love offset and have shadowed prety much everything since they added this feature.

Here is my Design Space file if you would like to cut your own. All of the cuts are from my Access Subscription.
Moo-ving Cow
Have a moo-velous day!

Valentines Day Layout

I had fun playing with paper to create this layout. I love the look of the layers in the diecut heart.

It seems strange to think of this date night a year ago, knowing now that this was our last hockey game before the covid-19 pandemic.

Bernie Sander’s Mittens

The hubs and I have been laughing all week at the many Bernie Sanders memes. Therefore, I knew I needed to make him a "Bernie-type" of Valentine this year!

This free mitten SVG is actually an earring design posted by Amy Romeu. I cut her fabulous design in cardstock rather than leather and added my own sentiment.

Hello 2021!

Every year, at the end of December, I look back at my scrapbooking goals for the year and make new ones for the year ahead. Last year, my scrapbooking resolution was to go to more in person crops to catch up on my scrapbooking. *insert sad face* Well, I did enjoy the many virtual crops of 2020! So, I will make an effort to do more online to spark my creativity and connect with others! So far, it's been a nice winter but I think I will need to scrap more to overcome any potential winter/pandemic blues that may pop up in the freezing months ahead. (Our province remains in lockdown)

Here's to a better year 2021 with less cutting out of physical-distancing indicators!
