Custom Wedding Album

Wedding Album Gift

I had a custom order for a 8"x8" Wedding Album. It made the perfect Wedding Gift. I tried to keep everything simple & elegant. So I used Black & White and accented it in Apple Red, which was their wedding color. All of the photo mats are 4.25" x 6.25" so that 4"x 6" photos will fit perfect in them. So all the Bride & Groom have to do is adhere there pictures & the album is complete. I am sorry for some glare on the pictures. I took the pictures while it was in the album so I could keep it all together. Scroll down to the bottom for the album details.

I hope you enjoyed this project. I was amazed I was able to complete this who album so quickly. By using pattern paper from one pack & accenting with Red & Black, keeping all the photo mats the same size, and the designs simple helped make this album simple & quick. Now I have all of these cuts saved on my Gypsy, so the next Wedding Album will be even simpler because it is already designed. This is a great way to make a personalized gift than a special couple will cherish for a lifetime. I even included adhesive squares for them to mount there pictures with.

My Pink Stamper Pink-alicious Blog Hop

Easter Layout

If you are just beginning this blog hop, please start at MyPinkStamper.com 
If you are coming from 
Edna's blog then you are in the right place.

I made this Easter layout with Spring Colors and My Pink Stamper's More Faithful Sayings Stamps. I love how it turned out.

Grass was cut from Gypsy Wanderings Cricut Cartridge. Shift and it is button #42. Cut at 1.5". To create the solid grass piece across the bottom of the layout. I welded 6 grass sections together, on my gypsy, so they overlapped a little.

Basket from Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge and cut at 2.50"
Eggs from Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge. Large cut at 4" and Small cut at 2"
I used Glossy accents on the Eggs and Baskets. They are on pop dots so, when I applied the glossy accents the eggs curled up and made them more round like an egg.

Cute bunny!
From Create A Critter Ciruct Cartridge and cut at 2.50"

Easter was created on my Gypsy using the Alphalicious Cartridge Cricut Cartridge at 1.40". I welded the shadow letters together, angling them how I wanted to. Then I laid the normal letters over the top and lined them up just right over the shadow. Then welded the top layer together also. This made gluing them down much easier because the top layer was all one piece and the shadow was all one piece. Then I used Glossy Accents on the word to make it shinny.

I curved the stamp "He Lives" on my stamp block to stamp around this circle. The inside of the circle is a piece of Vellum that I scored lines in on my Martha Stewart Score Board to make guides to journal on. I love how it turning out. I chose to use Vellum here because I loved the patter paper and wanted it to show through.

I stamped several stamps from MPS - More Faithful Saying's Stamp Set. I lined up each side on a long acrylic block to stamp each side all at once. Then I layered it with brown paper and accented with pen stitches. Now they are ready for pictures.

This was created for Cristina's Companion Challenge #9.

I had so much fun hanging out with Cristina and others last night on her first Ustream Class. She did an amazing job on a layout. So I checked out her blog and found her Companion Challenges. This Challenge was to create an  Election Day, Voter Reminder Card, using the colors red white and blue, somewhere in the project.

I started by creating the date and welding it. I had user friendly sizes until I found the frame and then adjusted the date to fit in the frame. Here are the details of how I made the card.

Tag Journal & 1st birthday card

Tag Journal

I made both of these tag journal's for gifts. Once for a baby shower & the other for a 1st birthday.

The insides are the same but the covers are different.

I used paper from K&Company Lion Sleeps 12x12 Paper Pad

I bound it with 1" book rings

All the tags are white with brown ribbon stapled to it. I left them plain so they could put a picture or write something on it.

Here is the recipe for the tag journal.

Cricut Cartridges Used:

Tags, Bags, Boxes & More:

6 - Tag - 5.65"

6 - Folders- 11.35"

2 - Covers - 11.35"

This is the folder & on my gypsy I moved the half the of the folder off my mat that I didn't need. So I only cut half the folder to make a cover. If you don't have a gypsy just cut the folder out & then cut the part off that you need for the cover.

To make a 1/2 circle I moved it on my gypsy 1/2 off the mat so it would cut it the way I wanted.

This is a card that I made to go with Quinn's Tag Journal.

I know there are alot of instructions for this project but it is alot of fun & a great gift. Once you make one then it becomes alot easier.

My Cricut Expression

My Cricut Expression

I wanted to make my Expression unique with my name on it. This is what I came up with.

I designed it with my gyspy so I could cut the vinyl and transfer it directly to my machine. I used the multi layer function on my gypsy so I could line up the word "creations" right along the curve.

I found a basic cricut settings table from
Joy at Obsessed with Scrapbooking

http://www.obsessedwithscrapbooking.com/2009/05/cricut-settings-table.html

This is an amazing table that tells you what setting you need to use for most of your everyday cuts.

I adhered it to my lid so I don't loose it & I know how to cut every time.

Check out her great blog & cricut settings table.
