Snowy "delights"

Well, I know I haven't been posting around here lately. We just had such a busy and wonderful Christmas holiday that I didn't scrap a thing. (Honestly, nothing) I spent a lot of time with my friends and family doing holiday activities such as going to the Nutcracker ballet, tobogganing, sleepovers etc.

Anyhoo, today is a friend's birthday. She just returned from Hawaii and is feeling the cold and wind and snow...



I am entering this card at Fantabulous Cricut. Their challenge this week is a snow challenge called snowy delights.

Lake layout

This is a layout that I loosely based (very loosely) on a scrapbook page kit by Monique Griffith.

I am proud of my little tube that I created with the Gypsy and the George cartridge. It really looks like the actual tube! I used embroidery floss for the tow rope. The paper is Core'dinations, put through the Cuttlebug and sanded. It is ripped and pieced together so I could have 12 inches of "lake".

I took these pictures outside so please ignore the leaf that blew into the shot...





Monique has been recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. I made this card (of course, a shape card) to mail to her. If you are interested in mailing a card of support, you can get more info here.

Layouts

The challenge this week at Frosted Designs is to use something from around the home on a layout. I used a shoelace on this layout of my daughter tying her shoes for the first time.



The running shoe is from the Pink Journey cartridge. I cut off the paper laces and added eyelets. I attempted to hand cut a Nike swoosh to match my daughter's shoes. I used glue dots to secure the lace with a nice, neat bow.

This layout is of my son's homemade Plinko game. He decided one day he wanted to make this with a board and some nails. It took him a long time and a little help from his friend to get it complete. The finished game actually works well.


The hammer from this layout is from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. The brads are from the dollar store.
