Country Carnival and Enjoy The Little Things Layouts

 This week I have been busy putting layouts together. Here's a couple double layouts I came up with.
It's been awhile since I been scrapbooking and I'm glad to be back at it again!!
I thought the Imagine Spring Chic Cartridge would be perfect for a Carnival layout.
It has so many brightly colored patterned papers. One of my goals this year is to add journaling to my layouts. I normally don't do that but have been inspired to give it a try!!
I have a large amount of photo's to scrapbook so I am trying to fit as many on a 12x12 page as I can to tell the story. I find working with 4x5 photo's a nice size to work with.

Imagine Cartridge - Spring Chic for the papers and banner.
                                 Nursery Tails for the duck
I also used stickers from October Afternoon Midway collection.
Picture size is 4x5

In this double  layout I used papers from DCWV
The Stickers I used are from CTMH Sonoma collection.
I die cut the journaling block from Art Philosophy Cartridge.
I cut it at 4" then cut it in half and that gives me 2 journaling blocks to write in.
Picture size is 4x5

Pumpkin Carving

Our Granddaughter was over and we had to carve a pumpkin for Halloween.
Well Chuck got in on the action making this his first Cricut project.
Here is the step by step process.

First cut off the top

Then our granddaughter Scooped out the middle

She said it was gooey

Our Granddaughter Picked out the pumpkin face from the Pumpkin Carving cartridge.

I cut it out on the Cricut Mini.

Chuck traced the face on the pumpkin

Here it is.

Then Chuck carved the face

Then our granddaughter pulled out the pieces to the face.

What a great team!!

Our granddaughter wants to keep the cut out pieces.

Here's a close up of it all lit up.
