Fantabulous Cricut Day!!

It's Challenge Me Monday again over at FCCB!! This week, the Challenge is "Remember When..." We were asked to create a card, LO, or project to remember a special person, time, or anniversary. Wow! This is a challenge for those of us who don't really scrapbook!!! But, that's what I'm here for!! To take on the challenges!!! So, I did just that....and created a 12 x12 scrapbook LO to honor my grandmother and her love of quilting. I had a picture of me, opening up the quilt that she made me when I was 14. I only wish I had a picture of Gram with the quilt...it would make the LO that much more special. Here it is...



And here is the picture that goes with it...



And journaling....I've NEVER journaled before...I think this is ok! :)



Recipe:
Cricut Cartridges: George and Basic Shapes, Nursery Rhyme
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! and patterned cardstock from my stash (sorry!)

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my LO!! Now, try to create something yourself to remember that special person, time, or anniversary...and link it up at FCCB to join in the fun! You have until Sunday, June 5th 11:59pm EST! Can't wait to see what you create!!

Using PageMaps...

Sandee is over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog today with another Scrappin' Saturday! Today she is featuring the super awesome website called PageMaps. PageMaps is a site to find sketches for layouts of all sizes, cards, half pages, tags, etc! This place is amazing!! You will have to check it out when you are looking for inspiration! Anyway, Sandee asked some of the DT members to help her out by showcasing a sketch from over at PageMaps. I chose this sketch:



This is an 8x8 layout sketch that I rotated and added my own twists to come up with the following LO.



Recipe:
Cricut Cartridges: Storybook, Nursery Rhymes, Cindy Loo, GBS
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! and Bliss stack from Me & My BIG ideas
White Sakura Gelly Roll Pen
Queen & Co. Rhinestones

I used my Gypsy to weld border cuts from Cindy Loo, along with circles from George and Basic Shapes to create the edging along the bottom. I only have one border punch, so I have to be creative!! Gotta love my Gypsy!!!

I am also entering this LO into the Getting Scrappy Challenge over at Amanda's Crafts and More. The theme was to "Get Sketchy" and create a LO from any sketch!

Thanks for looking! Head on over to FCCB to see what Sandee and some of the other DT members have done with PageMaps!
