Spring Scrapbook Layout

Hi, Crafters!
It's time for a new challenge over at Bitten By the Bug 2.
Remember to always include a 
Cricut cartridge cut or Cricut digital library cut 
on your project plus the current theme.
This week's theme: Spring


This layout was created using Cricut Design Space. This cut file is in the Pretty Posies cartridge. All I did was resize it for a 12x12 scrapbook layout. You can create this too!
Click HERE for the Cricut Design Space cut file.
All of the cardstock is Cricut cardstock except the one light blue flower which is from Recollections. Sequins added for some shimmer and fun.
Thanks for visiting with me today!

It's Going to BEE Okay

Happy Sunday!
I'm having a quiet morning which is very relaxing, and well, to be honest, rare. Sometimes I feel like I'm running a doggie daycare. We have two 4-year-old Pit Bulls who are absolutely amazing. We also have a 6-month-old Great Dane. Since he has come into our lives, mornings have been chaos. It's better though. It used to be worse in the mornings. He's still a puppy. Still gets really excited when they are released from their wrap around, open top, corral in the mornings. He jumps everywhere, barks, just being his happy puppy self. He is quite huge already, and doesn't know his own strength, so he plays a little too rough with his older sisters, which causes more barking. BUT, all of our babies are sweet and loving, and I can't imagine my life without them. I will admit though, sometimes I think I'm going to pull my hair out. It will get better. This morning, they are all laying in the den napping. It's quiet, and I'm soaking it all in with a smile on my face.

Those of you old enough will recognize the Gilligan's Island names.

Anyway, that's not why I wanted to post today.

Time For Fun Scrapbook Layout

Happy Friday! We have a brand new challenge for you today 
at the Alphabet Challenge Blog. Come join us!

A - Anything but a Card


I haven't scrapbooked all year. Can you believe that? Lots of catching up to do.
We joined The Dome earlier this year when it re-opened. It's been fabulous!
I don't like to walk with Bonnie in the summer because of the bears and moose here. We often have both in our yard. And I don't like to walk in the winter because the snow is deep and it's cold, plus the moose are out all year. The Dome was the perfect solution. Walking inside, no threats of wildlife, no uncomfortable weather, and lots of activities to do including walking / running the track, Yoga, weights, handball, soccer... the list goes on and on.
(My husband, Tom, and our special needs daughter, Bonnie shown in the photos.)

Like my layout? You can make one just like it!
Here is the link to this layout in Cricut Design Space. 
All you have to do is pick your cardstock colors and start cutting!
Everything is already set up for a 12 x 12 layout. Enjoy!

Cricut cartridges used for die cuts:
Ticket - Close To My Heart, You Are Here
Soccer Shoes - All Sports
Time Out For Fun title - Life's a Party

Cricut Cardstock for layout and photo mats
Stampin' Up Cardstock for all die cuts
