Go Wild! Create-a-Critter

Well you saw the girl version of a zoo layout with Create-a-Critter. Here is a boy version! Using the same stack of paper - Zoo from DCWV and the Create-a-Critter cartridge. Since you can't really "bling" a boy layout, you have to do something...so I textured the palm trees, title and gator by running them thru the cuttle bug with embossing folders. I did sneak in a little stickle on the title and on the grass. :) I cut the coconuts out with a circle punch and then flocked them in brown flock, martha stewart kind. 

Hip Hip Hooray! Using Create-A-Critter

This cartridge is so adorable! I'm really excited about it. I used the zoo stack to create this layout. I did stickle and I flocked the monkey that is swinging down. I know this picture of Ashley didn't turn out the greatest, but I think it's important because her Grandpa that passed away is holding her in this picture. She was really happy!

Down by the Sea - SOUS Challenge and Peggy Challenge

I used the sketch from this weeks SOUS challenge to map out how I would make this layout. The paper is by Close to my Heart. The Tag/Title "Down by the Sea" is from 5 or 6 years ago when I attended one of the classes at the scrapbook expo. I've always loved the tag because it used real shells and rocks. I just...never used it :). I'm continuing to work on my 2006 Cruise Scrapbook. I'm a little burned out but still moving forward. I did use the cricut on this layout but only for the frame that went around the journaling and that was from the cart Storybook.
