BBQ 4th of July Scrapbook Layout

You've been upgraded to Grill Class.

I made 4 of the same layouts for this Two Peas Swap that I'm doing. This is what the BBQ themed page looks like. Then I took the one for me and made it my own by adding my photos.

Framed Layouts

Its official, scrapbook pages look so much prettier when they are framed! Thank goodness for Hobby Lobby! I grabbed a handful of these simple black 12x12 frames for about $5/piece since they were on sale 50% off! Score!

I made a page for Kyle before I went out to Italy to give to him when I got out there. He loved it so much he told me he wanted to frame it. Why didn't I think of that?! I just thought he would push pin it to the wall or something. Then near the end of my stay out there he asked me if I would make some more for him of photos of us from my stay. Awww. Of course!! So I made these and bought some frames and the photos don't do them justice but I think pages look so much better framed!

Cricut Layouts

Here are all the layouts I've uploaded to 2 peas that I used my Cricut with:

Thank You cards (Year of Cards): We used my cricut to cut out all the circles.

A Year of You-Jan 2009: I used my Cricut to cut out the Jan and some flowers.

Mini Easter Cards: I used my Cricut to cut out the Basket and eggs.

March Photos: I used my Cricut to cut out the large scalloped circle for the background.

Stamped Background Card: Used my cricut to cut out some shape to piece together

i <3>: I cut out the I, circle and U using SCAL and my Cricut.

Life is Amazing: I cut out the Paper Stars with the Platin Cartridge.

With Sympathy: I used the Wild Card Cartridge to cut out the card and envelope.

A Year Of Me- April: The big bracket diecut I made in Illustrator and turned it into a svg file and brought it into SCAL so i could cut it out on my Cricut.

Dad Card for Father's Day: I used the Wild Card Cartirdge to cut out the word "Dad" on this card.

Gift Card and envelope: I took the sketch for the envelope and made it a svg file so I could cut it out in SCAL with my Cricut.

Owl Card: I used the Wild Card Cartridge to cut out the branch on this card.

June: I used my Cricut a lot on these layouts. I first made a svg file of a closed bracket then Cut out my photos and papers with SCAL and my Cricut. Then I pieced them together to make a full bracket.

Cake Pops Layout

I've decided to start a Digital Recipe Book. I'm going to cook, bake, fake (hehe) whatever it is and take pictures along the way and then digitally scrap it so I can print out a page print and put it together in a book some how. That last part I haven't figured out yet but here is my first page.

Hopefully by the time I have children I'll have a huge recipe book and they will be able to cook from it!

Thats my goal with this project.

June: A Year of Me Layout

I told you I was going to buy another Doodlin' Around stack and I did! Here is a layout I made with some of the papers. The background doesn't come cut out like that, I cut around the scallops (can you say hand cramp?!) Then the little strips of paper came from this piece that is just a bunch of different cute stripes and so I cut them up!

This layout is from a book that I'm making based off of the 2peas class called A Year of You. I totally love this class. Every month we make a layout with photos that we took that month. I've tried my very best to keep up but as you can see this layout is June and it is now August. Just a month behind thats ok. I'll catch up eventually.

Here are the strips of paper from the striped piece.

The letters "June" are sticker letters that I distressed.

Love making stitching lines =)
