Blog hopIf you came here from Adele's blog <a href="http://adelescricutcreations.blogspot.com/">http://adelescricutcreations.blogspot.com/</a> then you are in the right place! For day two of the blog hop, I thought I would share a simple layout. The pictures are of my son and my two adorable (if I say so myself)grandsons. The stitching took a little longer than expected so I will finish and repost.<br />

If you came here from the Crafty Pink Butterfly's blog, then you are in the right spot. <br />
<br />
I have been wanting to do one of the artist trays by 7 Gypsies for awhile so this blog hop inspired me to try one. I love the images from the Cricut Imagine Cartridge, "Kate's Kitchen" so I thought they would make a perfect home decor piece for my very bare kitchen. I sprayed all the papers and pieces with an acrylic spray to protect the paper since it will be hanging in my kitchen. I wished I had written down all the imagine sizes but I ended up cutting each piece so many times to make them fit perfectly that keeping track of sizes was impossible. I also inked the edges of each piece to give it a little more dimension and used lots and lots of dimensional adhesive.<br />

This card was made using the Sophie Cricut Circle Cartridge. I scraplifted the card from the handbook. I love this cartridge and expect to use it alot.<br />

I made the banner for the Indian Party that we had over the Labor Day weekend. It was double sided but I forgot to get a picture of the other side. I really love making banners but what to do with them when the party is over?<br />
