What I used:  The Silver Lining Stack 12x12, black paper, stickers, stickles (silver), sparkle letters and graduation cap sticker enhanced with glitter of course. :)

The tie was done using a tag punch, bling, white pencil, and Glossy Accents from inkssentials.

Graduation Layout

So, as you all know I graduated from nursing school this year.   It has been a very tough journey.  This layout is going to be the first of many. lol I just decided to work from the back forward since this is the only picture I have so far to scrap with.  I am working on getting the others printed.  there are about 300 or more pictures to get printed out. lol.
The paper is 12 x 12 and is by DCWV.I used stickles for the ADN letters and of course  used the cricut to cut out the lettering.  I blinged it up a bit with random stones I had laying around.
This photo is the day before graduation at our nursing luncheon. 5/7/2015
Enjoy :)

Red White and Blue Scrapbook Layout

Hi everyone, I just got a little bit of time to post something new for you this week.  It is a scrapbook layout using one large element.  I used the capital building (cut at 10 1/2 inches) as my element from the Independence Day cricut cartridge.  I was waiting to post this till this time of the month.  I also used bling, ribbon, stickles and some red white and blue stickers form k and company.  For the image itself I popped up the top layer to make it look 3-D.  Enjoy and Happy 4Th of July. :D

It's Officailly Summer Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to the It's Officially Summer Blog Hop hosted by Jill Thee Scrapaholic.  In fact the start of the hop is at her blog http://thescrapoholic.blogspot.com.  You should have arrived here from  Jenny ~ http://crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com/.  A fun hop is in store for you.
On to my project.................
The only cricut cartridge I used was the 3 Birds on Parade.  OMG I am in love with this Cartridge.  It has so many cute images plus an adorable font and cute phrases. I used every feature. :D.  The images are cut at 4 inches and the alphabet is cut at 2 inches and welded together on the gypsy. Of coarse you have to add a little bit of bling using stickles and that's it.  The paper is from the Citrus Stack by DCWV which has some great bright and fun summer feeling paper.   Dimensionals were added to of coarse add dimension to the yellow hat and wings of the birds.   The swiss dots cuttlebug folder was used on the yellow hat too.  Hope you enjoy the super duper cute layout.

Your next stop on this fun hop is Jenn ~ http://jennscrap2.blogspot.com/.
