LMCB 59 "TAG" You're it! - Back to School 2011 Layout

Good morning everyone!!  Today over at Lasting Memories Ch 59 we want you to show off those TAGS on your layouts!! 

I've got a couple on my layout.  The "2011" and the "2".  This is one of those layouts that "Grabs" at me as I am finishing the final touches.  My kiddos on the first day of school and the 2nd part of the journaling says  "You could not say 'Goodbye' fast enough."  A happy/sad moment for sure.  The kids LOVE school and I feel sorry for myself that they aren't itty bitty babies anymore.  ;-)

Karen, from Lasting Memories also provided this SKETCH to follow.  But, it's to help you.  You don't have to use it for the challenge.



I personally chose to use it.  It worked GREAT for my photo!  So let's see those TAGS on your layouts this week!!  You have until Saturday, October 15th @ 9pm EST to link up.  Excited to see what you can do!!

I am also entering this into the Getting Scrappy Ch 18 - "Get INKY" - You need to show a Cricut/SVG cut somewhere on your layout and that you used INK.

My Apple and main part of my Title are my Cricut cuts and my stamped apples around the circle and the "2" tag qualify for my INK. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  Have a great day!!

Veggie Garden Scrap Layout

This is a scrapbook layout of my Husband's vegetable garden that he planted this summer.  It was his first stab at a new hobby... and it turned out great.  It was fun to be able to just go to our backyard and pick whatever we needed for our meal that night.  The kids enjoyed seeing everything get bigger as the days went by.  It also helped get them interested in eating a few of these creations.  :-)
I am entering this to a challenge over on Paula's blog... "More than Favors"... as she challenged us to do a FRUIT or VEGGIE project. 
"Perfect" I said. 

I used all Stampin' Up Cardstock and Cricut Cartridges "Freshly Picked" "My Community" (for the grass) and "Walk in my Garden."

I designed the planting box myself. (hand cut)

Thanks for looking!!
