All Things Grow with Love Scrapbook Layout

I made this scrapbook layout this week. I haven't made a scrapbook layout in a couple of months so it was really fun making this. I think I'm going to make another one very soon :o)

I decided to get out my Cricut Expressions and used it to cut out the vine leaves and sun like image. I didn't glue down the top of the sun like image so that you can slide a photo into the center. I think it will look really cute with a round photo in the center. I need to use my Cricut Expressions more often because it's such an awesome machine. My hubby was very pleased to see me using it because it was just sitting there collecting dust...lol.

This scrapbook layout is currently for sale on Etsy.

Wedding Bear Card

There are lots of summer weddings so I decided to make this bear wedding card. More pink and brown...luv it!! I used Stampin' Up!'s Sanded Background Stamp 109294 on the pink cardstock. I luv, luv, luv this stamp!! It's makes boring plain cardstock so pretty. The sweet sentiment is from Stampin' Up!'s Heard From The Heart Stamp Set 111644. This is one of my favourite sentiment stamp sets because you get all occasions like birthday, wedding, christmas, etc.
