Get Organized!

End of the month things to do:

* Turn in any undeveloped rolls of film for processing,upload your digitals for processing, or if you print at home, get it done. Don't let pictures pile up.

* Sort through the embellishments on your workspace. Put like items together, even if they're different colors. Toss scraps of ribbon or fiber too small to work with. File stickers and diecuts away. Clean up those pesky little bits that clutter your workspace.

* Finally, sort and file your papers. Toss those smaller than a half sheet in size or use them now to make up a card.

Georgia On My Mind

I went out to take pictures of the flooding. Noah (my dog) went with me and of course took off exploring. I wonder if anyone thought I was loosing it as I was heading back into the garage yelling "NOAH!!! NOAH!!! AWE COME ON NOAH!!!". Noah and the ark...get it...

A Child's Year

Fall is upon us and you know what that means don't ya!? It means I need to get off my fanny and get last year's fall pictures scrapped!

For this project I used an already made album by Bo Bunny, it's called 'My Edgy Album' and I do love it! These albums are a great size and made from a heavy cardboard making them great for lots of pictures.

The Cricut cartridge that I used for the font and shapes was A Child's Year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The G!

Sweethearts is a keeper!

I don't have it yet but it is coming so I've been doing some playing in preparation in Design Studio. One of the things I do when I get a new cartridge is I explore it! I go to Design Studio and type out each key to see what surprises the cartridge holds. I then pick out the shapes or phrases that I think I may someday use or hope to use. I then right click on the key of my faves and name that key so that I can add that item to the keyword search. Next I put every shape/phrase on the virtual mat so I can see it. Check out all the cool stuff below! Yep, the Sweethearts cartridge is a keeper.
