Kiss Me

This is the other layout I did last night. I was trying to work with the kids still awake so I ended up just taking my cartridge handbook and paper and sketching. Then when the kids were in bed I ran over to my Cricut and started cutting. Phew what work just for a layout.
Ok so Kiss Me title is from the Sweethearts cartridge. Last night was the first time using this cartridge. And I used all scraps in my layout. Yay me. The hearts, heart balloons, frog, leap pad and I ♥ U are cut from Create a Critter. My son helped me emboss the heart balloons in my cuttlebug using heart blocks folder. The frog was embossed using tiny bubbles folder. ENJOY:)
Cricut Cartridge: Create a Critter and Sweethearts
Cuttlebug Folders: Heart Blocks and Tiny Bubbles

Bananas 4 You

I have about two layouts total that deal with my husband and I. So I made this layout. The title I'm Bananas 4 You is cut from Sweethearts cartridge. The monkeys, banana, and vines are all from Create a Critter cartridge. I stamped the monkeys faces and the banana from Peachy Keens Critter Faces Stamps. I love their stamps. I distressed the banana peel with my cuttlebug using vines embossing folder then just ran my ink pad over the embossed area as well. Very Simple. ENJOY :)

Grandpa's Little Helper

These pictures were taken awhile ago when we were building our house. Daniel would want to walk with my dad to the house every day to help him build it. He was my Dad's little helper.
I cut the hammer out at a fit to page setting from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. I then ran the handle through my cuttlebug and distressed it a little with ink. Gramps and Me are just letter tickers I had in my collection. The background paper is from All ABout Boys Paper Stack
My two little construction men are adorable. I cut one at 4 inches and the other at 3. I stamped there face with Peachy Keen stamps. Sooo adorable. I absolutely LOVE their stamps.
I added a little blush to their face just to giv them a little color.
