CJ Too Design Team Project

Hello my crafty friends! I just {love} red, white, and blue...don't you?!  Today's Craft Junkie Too Design Team project theme is Hooray for the Red, White, and Blue.

I am still trying to stay up with my New Year's resolution...my goal is to scrap last year's holiday or occasion before the holiday or occasion occurs this year. Now, I can check off 4th of July!!! Here's what I came up with:

I used the Gypsy Wanderings and Simply Sweet Cricut cartridges for this layout.

I also did a TON of doodling on these pages! I like how it makes the title and cut outs rally "pop!"

The tulle is a glittery tulle from Hobby Lobby. It really adds that sparkle that all 4th of July pages need. :) Some of the stars are placed under the sparkly tulle and I used glue dots to glue some of the stars on top of the tulle.

I totally "lifted" this cute idea from my fantastic sister-in-law (who moved back to Utah, Boo-Who!). She had some red foil stars left over from a party. We added a crumpled and doodled circle, tulle, twine, and a fun brad. I love how it turned out!

The little circle/star tags are from Simply Sweet. I just doodled and stapled them onto the pictures. The adorable little pinwheels are from my super crafty friend Irene and her most recent Crafty Girls Workshop! I just added some twine, of course, and attached them with glue dots.

Here's the second page. I just flipped the photos and title.

More tags, stars, twine and tulle!

Foam adhesive was used to give the title dimension.

I also used foam adhesive to "pop" up the center photo on each page.

My Valentine LO

Hello my crafty friends! My Little Stinkerbella turned ONE in November and I am WAY behind in my scrapbooking! One of my {goals} for 2011 is to scrap last year's holiday/occasion before this year's is here! So, on that note I got to work and completed her 1st Valentine's Day LO! I am also entering it into the Cricut Circle Blog's Weekly Challenge!

Here it is:

 

I used the Simply Sweet cartridge for this LO. The font is adorable! I {heart} this cart, and got it for FREE from the rewards site!!!! (Thanks PC!)

I put the letters for Valentine through my Xyron upside down, and then "sugared" them with glitter! Doodled around the scalloped border, and added some tiny heart brads (I had in my stash).

I used Making Memories tiny alphas for the "2010". The hearts were all cut using the Doodlecharms cart. I also "sugared" the pink hearts and then used Glossy Accents on top of the glitter.

The "love" was also cut using the Simply Sweet cart, "sugared" with glitter, and then also topped with Glossy Accents.

I added some bling to the title circle and on the corners of the page, a super sparkly prima flower, a button, and some bakers twine. I also doodled around the m and y of "my", and on the scalloped borders.

Papers used:
*Stampin Up
*Recollections

I was overwhelmed by the amount of crafty friends that enjoyed my Polar Express LO so much, and downloaded the Gypsy file! I planned this LO all on my G (with a little help from some old sketches I had printed off and in my stash) and thought maybe someone out there would like this download too!

Here is the Gypsy file for this LO 1st VDay Lo

**For this LO you will need Simply Sweet, Doodlecharms, and Plantin Schoolbook
If you decide to download the file please leave me a comment and let me know if you would be interested in more Gypsy downloads! ;) Also, know that I am already entering this into this weeks Cricut Circle Blog challenge.

Thank you for all of your fabulous comments! Keep on craftin' <3 Kristy
