Laughter and Smiles Layout
Today I am sharing a springtime layout which started with a sketch from Pinterest that I slightly modified to make it my own.
The die cuts were inked on the edges for added dimension. Stormy Trendy Twine with a double bow was added to the photo mats.
Several different paper flowers in coordinating colors with pearl sticker centers were added to the layout.
The tag was hand cut and embossed with the Modern Wallpaper Cuttlebug embossing folder. The "perfect" sentiment chipboard came from my stash and was adhered to burlap. The tag was embellished with some tulle, jute, ribbon, flowers and a twine bow.

BBQ Layout
This layout was created for some pictures of a family barbecue. I used the George and Basic Shapes cartridge for the large hexagon in the background and the Block Party Lite cartridge for all of the other die cuts.
To create this layout, I started with a hexagon patterned paper and added some barbecue themed paper on top and then added a large hexagon to break up all of the busy patterns.
I created a pennant style border at the top of the layout by punching out scalloped circles with a Martha Steward punch. I punched some holes and strung them with Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine.
The large title was used as an anchor for the pennant at the top of the layout. I added two yellow brads to the shirt of the "barbecuer".
I also used some more twine to outline the smoke from the barbecue.
The "Fire up the grill" sentiment is from the Docerela "Summertime" Stamp Set and the "BBQ" and "enjoy" sentiments are from the Fiskars "Celebrate" stamp set.

Organization
The weekly Circle challenge required using the Cricut to organize. I needed to organize my "go to" media boxes in my scrap room so I created some tags for them. These media boxes sit in my Expedit shelf next to my desk. I am constantly pulling them out for my projects, now I won't have to open all of them to grab what I'm looking for.
The tags were cut from Elegant Edges at 3.5 inches, the titles were cut from Don Juan at 1.10 inches and welded together and the flowers were cut from George and Basic Shapes at 1.10 and 1.30 and layered. I added a pearl to the center of the flowers.
I love how they turned out, the flower was the perfect embellishment for my tags.

Ornament
Today I am sharing this two piece plastic ornament which was purchased from Michaels. This ornament was inspired by Goody Bag Diva, she has a great tutorial on her blog. I created this ornament with a glitter paper background which is a circle cut at 3.05 inches from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. The circle fits securely between the two ornament halves.
I simply added the snowman scene to the glitter circle background. The snowman is from the Joys of the Season cartridge cut at 2.3 inches. The snowman had a broom in his hand but I hid that feature with my Gypsy since the ornament has very little space in it. The two trees are cut from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge at 2.5 inches. I used my white gel pen to the tips of the trees for a snowy affect.
I finished off my snowman scene with some pearl buttons, some sparkly snowflakes which are stickers from my stash and some quilt batting for the snow. I also used a black gel pen for the eyes and mouth of the snowman.
I tied a bow made out of tulle at the top of the ornament.

Family Layout
I made this layout using the Reminisce Accents and George and Basic Shapes cartridges. This layout is for some of my family pictures from my nephews wedding reception from earlier this year.
The "Family" title and the banner were cut from Reminisce Accents. The banner on Reminisce Accents was not designed to go with the Family phrase, however I really liked this banner so I made it work. The flowers were cut from George and Basic Shapes.
The flowers are just one cut, layered multiple times and in multiple sizes. I embossed the flowers with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder to add some detail to the flowers. I added bling to the centers of the flowers.
I really wanted to keep this layout simple because of all of the patterned paper I used. I did add some details to the title with a white gel pen.
Here is a close up of the large flower, I used multiple layers and sizes to create it.
I apologize for the pictures. This paper has a sheen too it which makes it very pretty but difficult to photograph. The patterned paper is all from the same package and coordinates beautifully, however, the colors look really off in the pictures, sorry about that.
