Cosmo Cricket Western Layout

Well, as you can see I have had some fun in catching up with my old photos, and finally getting them scrapbooked!!! This was a night we went to the Silver Spurs Rodeo in St. Cloud, Florida. The most fun was meeting all of the Cowgirl pageant winners from all the different places!! And they rode in the Rodeo too!! Talented, and beautiful!!! Tons of fun and spent it with my daughter who is pictured on the right page with the other beauties! Somehow my husband and other friends never made it into my pics so weren't in the layouts. Shucks!

Cricut Easter tin

Here is an Easter Tin made with Brown and Yellow cardstock using the the Cricut cartridge Easter 2010 and scallop circle from their Cricut Elegant Edges cartridge. The cuts were made to match the size of the white tin and sheer ribbons were added to match. The yellow one on top was is loose and just tied to be center of the three eggs which were double popped up and adhered after they were loosely arranged. Small half pearls were glued in the centers of the flowers to add a finishing touch.
Hope each of you celebrates our Easter blessings!! Enjoy!

Vienna Concert Layout

Again, using the Stuck?! Sketches other sketch, I used it for this double layout of the Concert we attended in Vienna on night. For this layout, I turned the sketch upside down and backwards. It allowed me to use the other sketch as well, somewhat for the right side layout. I turned it on it's side as you can see.

Photo story: We were treated to a Wiener Conzert of Mozart and Strass by the Wiener Residenzorchester. The Clarinet Concerto, which is also performed by the conductor, was a highlight of the program. The show leading up to it is delightfully amusing.

Supplies: Kaiser Craft Time Machine Gears and other papers that were still in my stash; Prima Marketing Tales of Me blossoms and other Prima flowers as well; vintage doily; seam binding; lace flowers; Queen and Co. music notes trim; Grey and brown cardstock.  I used my Cricut Explore to die cut the titles and used a combination of Blackletter cartridge and Old English Font with Bazzill Charcoal cardstock.

Ancient Doors in Passau Layout

I am so far behind doing my scrapbook layouts that I decided I would use Stuck?! Sketches to get my mojo back working! Love their inspiration by their talented designers too!! Here is the Sketch for January 2018

Here is the January 1st Challenge Sketch and what I use for the right layout of my double layout.

Supplies Bo Bunny Gabrielle papers; Shimmerz Paints Paste-eez Puttin'on the Glitz; Stencil Clearsnap Blizzard; Creative Embellishments (wood): Window Shutters, Dripping Heart Lace, Lace border #2; Painted with Plaid FolkArt Bight Gold; Red Tape 1/8". Key and Brad are from my stash.

I used my Cricut Explore to die cut the titles and used a combination of Blackletter cartridge and Old English Font with Bazzill Charcoal cardstock.

Photo story: Passau, Germany is a Bavarian city known as the city of 3 rivers but the real secret is that this city has a checkered past of ownership due to it being on the border of Germany, Italy and Austria. As we walked through this small town, there were so many gorgeous ancient doors with carvings, iron, and different metals and woods. Some were all the way from the 12th Century!! I was so amazed and had to take many photos of them. The photo on the left page is the massive old door in the courtyard of the famous St. Stephen's Cathedral and the center photo on the right page is their front door!! The city was so romantic to walk around and take in the ambiance of it's history and beauty.
