Hi there! I’m a mother of four young adults, two granddaughters and a dog, Gracie. We are an active family that love to create memories which gives me more things to scrapbook! It's win - win!

In Food We Trust

In Food We Trust

Last year we took a spontaneous 1.5 hour trip to eat. Yup! My son found a food truck event and for people who love to eat, it screamed our names! We made a plan for each of us to order something from a different food truck and then share with everyone. It was a great…

Escape Room Layout

Escape Room Layout

Have you tried an Escape Room experience? Even though we didn’t successfully “break out”, it was still really fun! I wasn’t sure how to approach this layout but with the photo props that were provided by the Escape Room, I used them as my inspiration. I pulled multiple colors from Pop Tone Assortment Pack (which…

Triangle Fold Card

Triangle Fold Card

There are so many fun fancy fold cards out there so I decided to try one using Pink Basis Cardstock for the base of this bright birthday card. The Basis cardstock is a nice weight cardstock for card bases. This triangle fold card needs a triangle template to help with scoring and cutting the card…

My Favorite Season

My Favorite Season

Creating layout designs in Cricut Design Space makes it so easy when you’re ready to cut the elements and put your layout together.

Awesome Sister

Awesome Sister

Does your sister have an awesome sister? I saw this quote and knew it would be perfect for a photo I have of my two granddaughters from Valentine’s Day last year. I wanted to add some sparkly fun to this layout so I cut an overlay with Silver Glitter Cardstock. It’s so easy to cut…

Easter Flowers Layout

Easter Flowers Layout

Growing flowers is easy using multiple shades of coordinating cardstock and your creative imagination. I created some flowers in Cricut Design Space with Easter photos of my granddaughters in mind. If you don’t have a Cricut or cutting machine, you can easily cut flower shapes to create your own blooms. I used 12 different shades…

First Birthday Layout

First Birthday Layout

Minnie & Daisy are the perfect birthday theme for a first birthday party especially when your name is Daisy! I created this fun layout by layering the Wedding Cake and Jet Stream 12×12 cardstock for the base to coordinate with a Magical Birthday collection from Echo Park. Before I put the layout together, I used…
