The Perfect Pair

Hello Blogland,    Another Friday and another SOUS Die Cut Challenge.  For this weeks challenge we were asked to create something, anything ' TO WEAR '.   This was fun!! and another boyish opportunity to scrap.  For this challenge I actually wanted to scrap some sweet Disney layouts from my recent trip, photos however would come in handy.  LOL.  Since I have not had time to edit or order, overdue Junior Prom pictures would have to suffice ;)   Mind you he is now a Sophomore in College.  sigh.      So for this I pulled out my Cricut cartridge Tie the Knot.  Nooo not suggesting these two lovelies... but they did make a beautiful photo right ?   and were great friends :)      My perfect pair was the patten dress shoes,   Cody never dresses up except for 'have to' events such as Prom. My personal challenge? how to make a prom layout not so girly... black and grey of corse.   The My Minds Eye, follow your heart collection reigns as one of my all time favorites and was perfect for this layout. So Here it is.  Hope you like.

For this weeks challenge we were playing in the snow again and there is nothing more common than the creation of SNOWMEN :)       So excited about this challenge,  I live in the great southern state of Georgia and we rarely have snow.   But this year we had an amazing snowfall and managed to enjoy building our own little snowman to over look the pool.    For this challenge I used my Cricut and the oh so cute Cricut Snow Folks cartridge.   I just loved the little one where the deer is after his nose!  perfect for my two outdoorsmen.  :)

Dream Big - SOUS Die Cut Snowflake Challenge

SOUS Die Cut Friday.  Hoping you all are still in the holiday spirit, and now that the presents have all been opened and some much needed down time availale I hope you can find the time to escape and create.  My suggestion is to tell the family there are left overs in the fridge and to knock before they enter you crafty space. :)      For this weeks challenge we were asked to create anything with a snowflake.  Opportunity to finish up some hunting trip photos of my favorite fellas from one of their many trips to Illinois.   The Snow is always beautiful and the bundled up guys are precious to me.
Be sure to visit the official SOUS BLOG for all the teams creative inspiring ideas.    I just love this group of gals and if you have not visited in a while please do as there are several new amazing ladies that have joined us and their work is oh so inspiring!
Also, be sure to link up!  we love love to see everyones creations.    

For this layout I used some of the newest Cricut Cartridges,  Edge to Edge for the Snowflake background and for the main snowflake Anna Griffin Winter Wonderland.  If you do not have these might I recommend you finding them before they are no longer available!

SOUS Ornament challenge

Welcome December, Welcome Christmas!  My favorite time of year.  It is the most wonderful time of the year by far!    Today is SOUS Friday and this weeks die cut challenge, create an ornament.  I could not wait to get my hands into the new Cricut cartridge by Anna Griffin, Winter Wonderland.  The shadow box below is what I came up with.   LOVE LOVE this !!   I added  depth with foam pop dots.
satin trim and glitter.   I used red ric rak along the inside of the glass on the upper portion and think this really gives it the vintage look I was going for.  The outer fame of the box was covered in gold glitter paper and aged with Tim Holtz inkers.     I see lots of new projects on the horizon with this cartridge.  Thank you for stopping by and thanks to you Anna Griffin for a great and Wonderful partnership with Provo Craft.

The Cuts !!

The below you can see the inside side walls covered in a classic basic grey paper. 

Berries were covered in Stickles.
