Football Time in Nebraska!

Time to preserve your Football memories!  This is using our Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.  I just set it at 11" and it cut everything I needed!  Just add pictures! 

These pictures are of my son and my NEW daughter in law at a Nebraska football game.  

And then below is a picture of my grand dog with her football.  I stamped the "N" using our now retired Varsity alphabet.  It is the perfect N for Nebraska!  Then I added "Go Big Red" with our Kraft keyboard alphabet.  

So many fun things to do with our scrapbooking products.  And these are just a few.  If you would like to find out more about my workshops, groups and or Close to my Heart products, contact me today!

More Fall Scrapbook Layouts

I LOVE fall...except for the part where winter comes right after it...but fall is beautiful.  And taking pictures in the fall is another favorite thing I love to do.  

I made these layouts...inspired by my friend Michelle Snyder and came up with these.  

In Nebraska we have something called Apple Jack festival...and these are perfect for that.  Or  you can also take pictures of your "apple of your eye".  

The apples are cut from our Artbooking Cricut cartridge (yes I have been using it a lot lately  LOL) I stamped "apple" with our white stamp pad, using our Frame works alphabet and "of my eye" with our September special stamp set.  It isn't available any longer, but if you were one of the lucky ones that purchased it...get it out and use it!  

And YES, I took the paper and did a basket weave with it.  I really liked the look of it.  Not sure I would do that all the time, but this time...it was perfect.  The pattern I used for this was from our Make It From Your Heart #2 how to book, pattern #4.

Halloween Layouts

Here are the layouts that my customers made at my recent crop.  It was an easy layout, yet CUTE!  I made the spider webs from our Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.  

 

The striped paper was from our Buzz & Bumble paper pack.  Just another way to use that paper! Who would have thought you could make Halloween pages with that paper pack!

It's time to get ready for Halloween and here are the layouts for it.  

Happy Haunting!

October Group Layouts

Here are the layouts my groups will be making in October.  I used our Sarita paper pack to make them. I have to say after 15 years it still amazes me on how pictures just work with our paper.  

After making these layouts, I went downstairs and was going through pictures and found these.  They work PERFECT!  The above are pictures of my son Cody & his dad sleeping and playing together.  It was so funny to see these pictures again and see how Cody as a 1 month old would sleep in the same position as his dad!  Oh how I love pictures!

And this layout above are of my FAVORITE grandparents.  They are both deceased now, but I am THRILLED to have these special pictures to remember all the wonderful times we had together.

I challenge you to pull out some pictures and relive your memories too!  And MORE importantly, get them scrapbooked!  

If you would like to make these layouts, just give me a call or send me an email.  I will be happy to sign you up as a guest for one of my groups!  The dates for all my groups are listed on the "upcoming events" tab here on my blog!
