Kindergarten/Preschool

The challenge over on BBTB2   http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com is Back to school.  You are to make a project with the Theme "back to school"
I'm also entering this in the http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com

My friend Suzanne http://cricutcraftinggrammy.blogspot.com was able to cut out Kindergarten for me in the ccr.  Now mind you she has never used the ccr until this week and she did it for me.  I'm so thankful for her and what she did, since I was unable to use the cart.

I used wrap it up for the school house. The strip of pattern paper is from a paper stack called All Seasonal II from HL.  I pop dotted the school house to give it some demention. The picture mats are 4 1/4"x4 1/4".  I also used wrap it up for the journalling tag that I slipped behind the picture. I did the same thing for the Preschool page also.  Again I want to thank Suzanne for doing these cut for me.

Thanks for taking a look.  Comments are very welcome.

Last Hooraw

Everyone knows that Labor Day is the official last weekend of the Summer.  Most of the kids have starting back to school.  Many ppl like to have BBQ's  with family and friends. I made this LO that I was going to enter into the Lasting Memories scrapbook challenge.  The theme this week is "SUMMERS END" Your suppose to scrap what you did at the end of summer.  I'm not sure if My LO can be used for the challenge.  I think I will post it and if it isn't right someone will let me know I'm sure.  I used scraps on all the cuts.  The carts that I used are

EPD------------------------------------------------BOY, GRILL,  KETSUP & MUSTARD.

Thanks for taking a look. All comments will be appreciated

I google searched one and fussy cut it out and used it.

Tammy from Scrap Cave Creations  on her blog she did this dlb page LO. I totally scraplifted this and told her I was. Any way here is my dbl page LO The font is from Kates ABC's and the flowers are from 2 different carts, Just a note and Mothers Day Bouquet. This took me all day, but I reallly love the way it came out. The tag is from Lacy Lables. The sentiment is the same sentiment that Tammy has used. i don't have the stamp so I printed it from my comp.

January calender page for 2013

I have been working on my calender pages on and off for the past month. I'm
working on 2 at one time.  Here is a sneak peek at January.  All the cuts on this page were done in the cricut craft room.  The mittens and hat were cut from Simply Charmed cart.  I tried to make the mittens look like the bottoms had fur.  Not sure if I like this.  Its not doing what I want it to do. January was cut from cricut alphabet that is preloaded on my AE2  I really like this font, I use it a lot.
The days of the week and the numbers(which I welded together from 11 on) are from the Designer Calender cart. The days of the week is the Script key function.
The days of the week are cut at 1.236x1.083  very odd sizes, but as you can see they fit.  The numbers were cut at 0.25x0.556. Thanks for taking a look. I will post the finished look hopefullly tommorrow nite.
