I have really enjoyed completing this Masters Album for a client. This album was created in an 8 1/2 x 11 " format. Not my typical scrapbooking style, but it was fun to scale down my sketches to fit on this format. The client has still not seen the album yet, but she has seen this layout. All of the circles were cut at varying sizes on the Cricut, to create some dimension and depth to … [Read more...]

I used it for this layout that I did for a client. The browns and pinks blend so well together and create a nice warm layout. The banner was cut with my Cricut and the dimensional … [Read more...]

So I have been holed up in the craftroom getting ready for a vendor fair on September 24 (stay tuned for more information on that fair) and I wanted to make some cards to sell at the fair.

My Mum was diagnosed with cancer and as a family, my brothers and our spouses decided that we were going to create a memories album for her, showcasing … [Read More...]
