Scrapbook Pages for Granddaughter

 I'm taking this time to work on my granddaughter's scrapbook. This wonderful young girl turned 12 this past November. She continues to display her many talents in both dance on the competition team and is an "A" student in the gifted program in grade school. It goes without saying , her grandparents couldn't be more proud of her. I have post both the two page layouts, but also the pages singly, so you can get a better look at the designs.

I used my Cricut and Cricut Gypsy to help designing these pages. The cartridges used were: Billionaire, Fancy Frames and my newest and perfect one, Shall We Dance! I expect to get a lot more use out of the last two cartridges, in the coming months, as my granddaughter dances at several venues, with her team.

Scrapbook Pages for Grandson



I am taking a short break from my cardmaking. I have one more try fold card to show off, but that can wait a week or maybe two!

I'm finally getting caught up with my grand-children's scrapbooks. Here are some recent pages, I made for my grandson.

I used my Cricut die cut machine and my Cricut Gypsy to cut the shapes used in these pages. The cartridges I used were the Billionaire, Fancy Frames and Flower Shoppe. For more recent pages come back again and see the ones I have done for my lovely dancing granddaughter!

Try'folds Lakehouse Card


 I love these cling stamps from Art Impressions!  These like last week's are from the Try'Folds Series. They  are specially designed so that you can easily create a layered tri-folding cards. Instructions are included so you know exactly how to line up the images and create a lovely finished design. There are 7 different sets. This package contains Lakehouse TF-UM4204: a set of four cling rubber stamps in a 10x4-1/2 inch package.

I used cardstock, score board and bone folder, Stazon ink, watercolor pencils, waterbrush and scissors. Here, I am displaying what each of the stamps looks like colored, but for directions follow the ones on the package, they are great!



I have more to show you next week, of these very neat try-fold cards !
