The First Few Years layout

Hello Fanatic friends. Cindy here from Scrap-obsessed.blogspot. I recently purchased the new Cricut cartridge called The First Few Years. I am loving the layout ideas and how simple it is to get everything cut out because the booklet tells you exactly what size to cut each piece. I started at the beginning with the first layout.

My son and daughter in law just announced they are going to have another baby girl. She is due in October, so I thought it would be nice to have some layouts ready for her arrival. All of the cuts are from the First Few Years cartridge except for the butterflies. I made those using a couple of punches from Stampin' Up. All of the purple and gray papers are from Stampin' Up. I also used Wisteria Wonder ink to sponge the edges of each piece.

Cut sizes:
Photo mat 9.75"
Banner on top 2.25"
Title 1"
Baby Carriage 3"
Circle under carriage 2"
Tags on the left side were both cut at 2.25"

I hope you like my project today and will stop by my blog for future layouts from this cartridge.

A Christmas Card

Hi there!  This is Doreen from Polka Dot Paper Princess  Today, I made a quick little card that reminded me of the days of old where there would be trees in sleighs that families would lovingly hand pick.  Now, if they are fresh picked at all, they are usually picked from a local business and then they are attached to a car or truck!  lol!  Lucky are those that still go to the woods and pick their own!  What joyful memories!

I pulled out an oldie, but a goodie cart - Christmas Cheer.  I used it for both the sleigh and the trees.  I popped the sleigh up with foam tape, added some flock  to make snow on the edges.  The trees were easily stuck behind the sleigh and left loose at the top to give it the feeling of movement.  I added a wee bit of flock to them too and they were done!  The punches on the side are from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment is from CTMH.  The card was simple, but right now, that's exactly what I'm looking for.  We don't always have time for complex, but still wanted pretty.  The Cricut makes it so easy to accomplish that!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a merry and blessed Christmas!
