Different Layout

Hello!  Have you ever had a brain fart and just couldn't think of a way to do a layout?  I do all the time!  With Pinterest and the Internet, there are so many new ideas on how to do a layout out there!  This was one of those layouts!  We did a lot of kayaking last summer and took a lot of pictures.  I had to do layouts of each of them, but I didn't want them all to look the same.  So, I looked up a layout.  I wish I could show you the layout sketch, but I completed this at a retreat and got the idea from our leader!  

Patterned paper:  Cosmo Cricket.  Solid and glitter paper:  DCWV.  Flowers:  Bought at scrapbook convention, unsure of designer.  Tag:  JoAnn's Dollar section.  Title:  Hannah Montana Font Cartridge.
Do you ever need to find layout ideas?  Where do you look?  I'd love to hear your ideas!  Thanks for looking!!!!

Coordinating Papers

Hello!  I love paper!  I have tons of it.  In fact, I get made fun of all the time because of my love of paper.  What I really love is coordinating stacks!  You can find the cutest papers in those stacks and they all coordinate together!!!!!  Here is a layout I did for my niece's 13th Birthday Party.

Solid and pattern paper:  Authentique Paper.  Small Flowers:  Kaiser Scrapbook.  Big flower:  Heidi Swapp.  Buttons:  Close to my Heart.  Tag:  FancyPantsDesign.  Glitter Mesh:  not sure of company.  Bought at scrapbook convention.  Title:  Lyrical Letters Cartridge

I love how this layout turned out!  The coordinating papers really work well together and I don't have to search for the right shade of blue!  This was a new paper stack I had tried.  I usually stick to DCWV.  Do you have a favorite paper maker company?  I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks for looking!

Born to Ride

Hello!  Today's layout is one I made about riding motorbikes.  I wanted to use bright colors and this paper was perfect!  At the retreats I go to, we do a Cricut cut swap.  Each of us choose 2 items to cut and glam up.  We cut enough for all participating and then we end up with some really neat cuts we might never had the opportunity to make.  One of the cuts I got was a motorcycle and I thought, "How am I going to use this?"  Well this layout uses it great!!!!!  You never know what you might use!

Patterned paper:  Got at Scrapbook convention so not sure of designer.  Blue title and green star paper: DCWV.  Red Ribbon:  Michael's.  Stickers:  Hobby Lobby Paper Studio.  Title and Star:  Hannah Montana Cartridge.   Motorcycle:  Made at swap so unsure what cart came from.


I am a supply hoarder and will keep anything if I think I might use it.  I saw a post on Pinterest the other day, from my Aunt Judy, about a person using the circle film from an old Viewfinder.  It is amazing what we can use to scrap!  Are you a supply hoarder too?  What unused items could you scrap with?  Happy hunting!!!!
