Hello Blog Friends,
I'm sad to report that Winter Woolies II is still in process. Life, as we all know, has a way of sometimes getting in the way. We seemed to have a busy week, but somehow did not get as much accomplished as we would have liked. So, check in with me next week to see the finish of Winter Woolies II.
I did not sit idle the entire week, however. Thursday night was scrapping group and we made some pretty cool pages. As you know, my daughter Kristy is a Close to My Heart consultant, and she hold a group class once a month. We make (3) 2-page layouts which are photo ready by evening's end. This month we used the Hopscotch paper packet and coordinating accessories. The sunburst elements were all cut with the Cricut machine in varying sizes. These pages can be used for spring, or summer vacation pictures. One of the members of our group is going to use them for photos from her winter vacation in Mexico. Another is going to southern California this summer; these pages will be perfect for that!
Fun pages! See you next week!
Hello Blog Friends,
Denis and I were in Chicago several years ago and we visited the Museum of Science and Industry. I've been diligently working on finishing up the pages for this museum, then our Chicago album will be done. Here are some of the pages I have done recently:
For the Circus exhibit:
These pages were mad with the "Animal Cookies" paper pack by Close to My Heart. I love the whimsical colors and patterns.
I also relied heavily on my Cricut die cutting machine to cut the silhouette shapes and the letters in the top photo. This page has pictures of the circus train diorama at the museum.
Here is a working model of a three ring circus under the big top. I again used cutouts made with the Cricut. All the cutouts were from the "Carousel" cartridge.
For the Ships exhibit:
These pages are made with the "Majestic Blue" paper packet from Close to My Heart. The antique map print paper was perfect for pictures of old time sailing ships.
Next time... A Show and Tell project from the Quilt Expo.
