The Red Shoes

Hi Everyone, This is Erika from http://www.ekittyscraps.blogspot.com/.  Today I would like to share with you my layout entitled "The Red Shoes".   This layout is a part of a Wedding Scrapbook I am making for my Stepson Michael and his new Bride Claire for their first wedding anniversary.  They had interesting wedding colors of Champagne and of course Red!  

 

Here is a sneak peak of the Red Cricut Shoe:

My first step was to cut out the Red Shoes using the Wedding/Marriage cartridge and cut 2 shoes at 4.5 inches and 2 shoes at 2 inches.  I also cut this in black to make a shadow image behind the shoe.  This image also seemed to match perfectly with the Bride and Maid of Honor's shoes. 

I used my Martha Stewart punch and punched a scallop border across the top and bottom of my paper and adhered the paper to my gold paper background.  I cut out gold and black frames for my pictures using Coredinations paper.  Black frames are always good to use with formal pictures.

  After adhering my pictures to the LO, I cut the words "The Red Shoes" using my Cursive 101 cartridge on 1.5 inches.  I wanted these words to be seperated so I did not use my gypsy this time. 

I attached the words and a K & C wedding journaling tag with gray organza ribbon to my LO.  I added several Floral Cream Velvet Hydrangeas from Petaloo to my LO for a more wedding/formal look.  I also added some gold bling to the red cricut shoes.     

I really enjoyed making this LO and I hope you liked it too.  I hope to show you more from the Wedding Scrapbook in the future.  Have a good day and if you have any questions, please leave me a comment.  Thanks!

Cricut Crafty Challenge #1- Back to School

Welcome Everyone to the Cricut Crafty Challenge day!

This is Becka from Creations With Becka and I am so excited to share the very first Cricut Crafty Challenge with you all today.

This time of year is all about getting the kids back to school, so this month's challenge is to make a Back to School gift, layout, card etc.

I made this awesome supply basket to give to my son's teacher on the first day of school. He started 3rd grade this year and has two new teachers. So I thought we would welcome them with this gift

 

 

 

 

 For my project, I  first wrapped the basket with yellow paper. I cut and added "photo mats" for the backgrounds of the glue, pencil and crayon. Then I pieced together and added all of the cricut cuts. The finishing touches were the ribbon and the buttons and of course some stickles.
