Crafty x 2: August 2012

Valentine layout

Fulfilling another one of Jacob's artist pin requirements.

Cub Scout t-shirt

For one of Jacob's artist pin requirements we made a Pack 301 t-shirt with the cricut.

We made a batch of cupcakes with the intention of decorating them one by one from the list of ones I pinned on Pinterest. Alas, Jacob had other plans and had eaten 4 of them before we even got started, so the only one that got "decorated" was this pokeball one for Brandon

EP This and That Graceful

I didn't intend to get the girl version of the This and That line, but for some reason it just called to me. I had more fun playing with it than I thought I would.

The title letters, journaling block and photo frame is from the original layout, which was a boring, monochromatic green.

I was impressed I ended up with as many pink based layouts as I did :) and still have 4 layouts to use up:

I think I may use a couple of them for some photos of me from this year.

365 Layoutst total: 336 layouts, 1 card and 5 mini albums

EP This and That Charming

As soon as I saw this collection, I wanted it!

The cover sheet, cut down to fit. I expected to be putting a square photo in the "frame"

The photo had been previously scrapbooked and there was no way to get the sun punches off without tearing the photos, so they stayed :)

The blue tab peeking out the top is a tab to pull out the journaling from the original layout. It's about unlocking the mystery that is Jacob, hence the lock sticker on the right.

I love being able to reuse journaling blocks from the original layouts. :)

The star sticker was necessary, since the notebook paper edge sticker tore coming off the sheet, so... camouflage.

And one lonely layout left to use up. I'm thinking a black and white of the boys.

EP Walk in the Park

This kit was marketed as a summer line, but to me it seems more like a spring or fall line. I've used a decent amount of this kit, mostly for the "b" sides, but I wanted to go ahead and use it up as much as I could.

I have some Instagrams of Jacob at the park that I think I'll use on this one.

My plan is to do a spring/summer/fall/winter layout with pics of the boys this year.

Pink Paislee Hometown Summer

I love this paper set, but hadn't done anything with it, so I decided to try the Perfect Collection idea on it. I got 9 completed layouts and 3 additional double page layout bases from...half the kit. There were 4 sheets of each paper in the kit, so I still have plenty of paper left.
