So for day 2 I decided to do another scrapbook page.  Going with the Theme that I never have pictures of Thanksgiving I decided I would do one of all the great cooking!  I thought I would take some pictures of preparing for dinner. 
I used 4 cartridges for this scrapbook page.  Forever Young, From my Kitchen, Doodle Charms, and Gypsy font.  I used my gypsy, black, white, patterened, pink, & brown cardstock.  My black pen, white galaxy marker, and adheisive and pop dots. 
The "mom" was cut from Forever young at 5".  The Apron was cut from From my Kitchen at 2 1/2". This one I had to cut a couple of times to get the size to match up with the "mom".  The stove was cut from From My Kitchen at 2 1/2" (also cut a few times for sizing).  The turkey was cut from Doodle Charms at 1" and it too had to be cut a couple of times to get the right sizing.  "Its Turkey Time" was cut from Gypsy wanderings and welded together at about 3".  After I layered the Mom's clothes and apron I put pop dots on her.  I also used pop dots on the turkey to make it stand out a bit.

I really love the Forever Young cartridge, you can do so much with it!  I hope you like my page!

For my day 1 project I wanted to do a simple scrapbook page.  I never seem to get a picture of my whole family at Thanksgiving.  I am usually busy cooking.  I decided if I make a scrapbook page then I would have to at least get a couple of pictures.  I am very Thankful for my family!
I used The Desginers Calendar, and Gypsy wanderings cricut cartridges.  Navy, striped, white, brown, black and red scrapbooking paper. I used my gypsy, white galaxy marker, red stickles, and star dust stickles. 


 I cut the "Family" from gypsy wanderings cartridge at 3 1/2", the "Give Thanks" from the  Designer's Calendar at 4", and the Pilgrim hat from Designer's Calendar at 3 1/2".  I cut 2 frames from the striped paper.  Stickled the G and E, and the T and S with the xmas red stickles.  I also stickled the buckle on the hat with the stardust stickles.

Made it myself Monday!

BLOG TITLE
Hi!!  I'm so excited to share a project for Made It Myself Monday's  on You Had Me At Craft's blog!

Happy Halloween Everyone!  Here is my project:

I used my Mini Monster's Cricut cartridge page 42 the ghosts cut at 2 3/4", black pen, googly eyes, white cardstock, and adhesive.

I love to make treat bag toppers, I'm just showing the ghost that I made for the bags.  I forgot to take a picture of the finished bags!  These were really easy to make for a large class.

Thanks for stopping by! ~Christina~
