Pure Joy

Oh the look on my son's face!  Pure joy.  He is playing and shares an award winning smile.  This smile melts me everytime.  The side journaling is from a Crafter's Workshop template.  The substitle spot is punched from a EK Success punch.  The frame around the photo is cut from decorative scissors.

Brothers

This layout was done of my husband and his brother.  They share a laugh at our Thanksgiving gathering.  I used a stamp set from Image Tree Ek Success for the brothers detail.  I also used punches from Fiskars and Ek Success.  The font is Don Juan.

Birthday

This layout looks pretty simple but it took me awhile to do it (I started this layout at the beginning of a 12 hour crop.  I didn't have my mojo yet).  All the scallops around the circle were hand punched and then individually glued on the back of the circle.  My challenge when I went to this crop was to not take my Cricut and just use punches.  As it was, I forgot to bring a 1 inch punch so I borrowed one from a fellow crafter!  Thank goodness. 

Thanksgiving Gathering

This layout was made of our family Thanksgiving gathering.  We hosted this particular year.   The flourish on the left side is from Sizzix.  The scallop circle is from The Crafters Workshop. The border is from a Fiskars punch. 

Beautiful Mom

I made this layout of my mom.  She doesn't like to have pictures taken of her but I always insist.  So, this layout demonstrates how beautiful I think she is.

Birthday Cupcake

This layout is of my son's 2nd birthday.  He wanted cupcakes for his birthday "cake".  I was happy to make him vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting.

Fall Fun

This is a two page layout that I made of our boys.  They are having a great time playing with the fall leaves.  The leaves are made of several Cricut cartridges.  The font is from All Mixed Up.
