BG POTM 2010

My daughter is home and got her to scrapbook with me!!!
We got to play with Basic Grey's POTM kits.
I pretty much created the layout as suggested by the instructions provided/included on the kit with the exception of substituting the name "Lauren" in place of two tiny pictures.  I cut the name using "Base Camp" with it's shadow welded using the Gypsy. I also cut the "2010" and used instead of journaling.

Below is the LO my daughter created

.  She got a bit more creative and added 3D to some of the bottom squares, added and chalked a bird, placed the pictures at a different angle, added two names cut using "Pooh Font" and a sentiment cut using Gypsy Font in place of journaling.  She also cut using punches a couple of hearts.

It was a fun mother-daughter scrapbook day!!!!

Happy B-day Pardner!

I Created this layout as a thank you to my BFF Abby's friend for "hooking" us with a big scrapbooking loot for little money.
Abby has posted a challenge on her blog to use everything you have, so here it is! (actually she posted to use every cart you have! not all at once either, haha). 
I used the Gypsy to design/cut the horse, the Cuttlebug to emboss the horse, the Pazzles to cut the cactus which is a Silhouette design, the Expression to cut the fence and the lettering.  The lettering was designed/welded on Design Studio. The cactus flowers were punched with a flower Fiskars punch inked and squashed a bit.  Yes, I used every machine I own (except the actual Silhouette SD machine to cut, but used the software.)  Oh, and I typed this on a stand-alone computer while I used Design Studio, Pazzles and Quickutz software on the laptop. lol 
...and managed to use 4 Cricut cartridges.
