Finally! A Layout!

I belong to a group that issued a simple challenge - make a layout or card about summer.

What Summer Means to Me - a peaceful sunny day with clear blue skies and colorful flowers.  


Cricut Cartridges:  Plantin Schoolbook, Create a Critter, Accent Essentials


All cuts were outlined using Cricut markers.  The sun was also outlined using dimensional glaze from The Stencil Company. The clouds were also chalked using chalk from The Stencial Company.  Additional dimension was added to the flowers using Michael's brand flock.  The grass is layered to give it a 3-dimensional effect.  The sun is also 3-D. The center of the purple flower, the small cloud and the yellow flower are all pop-dotted for dimension.


I have a picture of Little Man running through the sprinklers as Daddy watered the flowers that I think I'll add later.

Happy Birthday Box! Altered Priority Mail Box

A very good friend recently celebrated her 50th birthday!  This was a huge milestone in so many ways.  My friend is very crafty and just recently got into scrapbooking.  I couldn't have been more excited!  I wanted to do something "over-the-top" that was scrapbooking related.


I decorated a Priority Mail Box from the U.S. Postal Service by covering it with flowers cut by my Expression.  I put Modge Podge all over the flower layers to create a glimmery effect.


I filled the box with an assortment of scrapbooking items including 3 Cricut cartridges.  My friend was so excited to see the box and was making over the decorations.  She cried as she poured through all of its contents.


I like providing nice surprises to people!


Thanks for looking!
Ms. Scrappy To You!
