This layout started one way and then I decided to add some inky/splatter mess to give it some gusto! It started with a Basis Red cardstock base and then I decided to mat it with Wedding Cake White cardstock. Before adhering the red (now cut down to 11×11), I gutted the white cardstock so I…

Blessings Shaker Card

Do you ever look at something you made and think, “wow, I made that!” That’s how I feel about these cards. I needed to make special cards for three kiddos to celebrate their first communion next month. And I absolutely LOVE how they turned out. There are so many images in Cricut Design Space that…

Two different shades of purple ink and some gold splash were used to create this great background on Cougar Smooth White Cardstock. After the stamping and splashing, this stamped panel was trimmed down to 3.75×5″. With gold splashes around…

Grand Canyon

We took a road trip in 2020 and I’m still scrapbooking the trip. It was great to revisit the Grand Canyon years later. I saw a desert scene image in Cricut Design Space and knew instantly that I wanted to use it with these photos. After enlarging it to 11″ tall and gathering Pop Tone…

Got Scraps? Cutting multi-colored titles and embellishments with the Cricut is a great way to use paper scraps and this project used 16 different colors! Although this layout was a pretty simple design, the colorful title really makes it stand out! I know you’re thinking, that had to have taken a lot of time putting…
