Christmas with the Cricut

This is an adorable layout made with the Cricut. It is for when a child has their picture made with Santa. Cute.

These all came from a great blog dedicated to Christmas ideas with the Cricut. Several girls are doing it and each day has a different project: cards, home decor, layout and gift tags, wrap. Here are some of the projects. Sign up for their subscription and you will get updates. Also between now and Christmas they are giving away 22 Cricut Cartridges. If you leave a comment on each day you will be entered. Some have not even been released!! We could make some of these great projects if you won it!!

Move In Day at Ole Miss

This is Bob and I and Meg's parents, Steve and Rhonda after we finished the moving.

Charlie and Meg in downtown Oxford. We had lunch at Proud Larry's and ate supper and the Rib Cage. Both were good. We had a good day and it was nice meeting them for the first time.

Bein' silly!! We thought the apartment was nice and will be a great place so start their new adventures in Grad School!!

Chaos is the only way to describe it!!

You won't miss this place when you see the mess it's in! I have been pulling out and rearranging. Tomorrow I am getting back there and do some major organizing.

I ordered another type of paper organizer and hope to get it where we can find things. You know that's the biggest thing is being able to find things.

So I'll get busy and get it ready for our September 2nd kick off. Help!!

New Look!! I hope you like it!!

I noticed several of the blogs I visit got a new look lately. I had to try it. I just love the owls!! Hope you like it!!

Some Cute Ideas I found

I have been checking a lot of blogs lately and have found some really cute thisngs. I love this School page. It uses the Cricut. I do not have this cartridge, it is Locker Talk.

May have to get it though! I found it and the card below here. Go check it out. She has soe really cute pages and cards.

This card was made with the Cricut, also. I think it is beautiful. It also uses the Cuttlebug embossing folders. I have the cartridges to cut this one.

Poke around and see what you can find. Hope ya'll are thinking scrapbooking because we will be at it again soon!! My wheels are still turning and I am looking for ideas to Scraplift!!

Featured Artist- Julie Martin

Julie Martin has been scrapping with me for several years. During that time she has created some wonderful scrapbook pages and projects. Featured below is one of the family albums she made for several family members. She made three in all and they were all different! She used a board book and added the old photos she had copied. The albums are very special to their recipients. When she visitied one of them recently, she noticed that it had been placed in a very special place in their home and was told they had shown it to everyone who came to visit. Just speaking of it brought tears to their eyes.( Please excuse the photos being cut off. When I copy from the other site, they are too big and I do not know how to fix this)

Each album had a gorgeous color scheme. This one was my favorite.

Notice how it had special openings and things tucked in!! These pages opened to

reveal more photos.

On this one she added library pockets with cards, Too cute!

Great job, Julie!! Also, Julie if one of my scrappers who will work on some scrapbooking at home.

Creating a special family heirloom is really what (I think) scrapbooking is all about. So dig out those old photos. If there are some faces you don't know, go find out who they are, before it is too late. I would love to help any of you create a special heirloom. Go over to Croppin' with Class to see more of her albums.
