Easter Weekend Scrapbooking

This past long weekend my boyfriend, his brother and I decided to drive out to Edmonton to visit their family. They took turns driving, we left at around 7pm on Thursday and got there around 7am Friday morning. Boy were they surprised to be woken up by us. It was a great weekend with beautiful weather, lots of yummy food, and some shopping :) I managed to score some of the new Amy Tangerine line, as well as some new Studio Calico and Crate Paper. Since we drove out, I preplanned some pages, printed a bunch of the Sunday Sketches over at Studio Calico, printed photos, and brought my scrapbook stuff. I managed to get 5 layouts done! Oh and my car has a new name given to "her" by Steve's brother Matt - Penelope. She may not have much power, but that little Tercel got us there and back in one piece with no problems, and she's cheap on gas. Oh and the odometer hit 250,000 km on the way back!

Drive by night

Blue skies for the drive home on Monday

Here are the layouts I completed while I was there:

02/05/2012 Sunday Sketch

04/01/2012 Sunday Sketch

Also, I've been having so much fun cutting stuff with my Cameo. I think I like cutting and designing the stuff more than I do using it :). I made the ticket and the journaling cards for the "Spidey Cat" layout with my Cameo. Since I'm loving it so much, I am thinking of listing some stuff in an Etsy shop.

I'm thinking maybe some of these:

and also maybe some "polaroid" type frames that fit the Project Life pockets. What do you think?
Is there anything else that you would like to see?

 

Project Life Catch-up

I have been quite busy with school work so I haven't had a chance to scrapbook much, and therefore I haven't blogged.

But for now, here are my PL pages that I have caught up on. The first 2 page spread is the second half of January, and the second 2 page spread is the first 2 weeks of February. I have the end of Feb done, but haven't had a chance to take pictures.

TFL!
I got lots of scrapbooking done on this past long weekend, I will be back to post it sometime this week. :)

More Print and Cut Fun - Label Tutorial

 Hi Guys,
I had such a great response to my first video tutorial, that I thought I would make another one. This one uses the offset function to make an inner outline of the label. The labels I have made are pictured here:

Thank you for watching!

Silhouette Ticket Tutorial

I have created a tutorial showing how to make these tickets with Silhouette's print and cut feature. Please bear with me as this is the first video tutorial that I have made. I fumbled on my words a few times, but after doing about 20 takes, this one was the best. For those of you that haven't tried the print and cut feature, I hope this helps you to try it.

The blog was taking forever to load with the video on it so

Labels Printed and Cut - Edited to Include Download Link

I was going to wait until I got my prints from Staples, but I couldn't. So, I printed them on AC White cardstock. Just thought I would share a quick picture. These are the ones titled "Soft" and they go really well with the SC Daydream Believer kit :)

EDITED
Due to an overwhelming response to this file, and the amount of time it is taking to email each separate person - here is the download link for the .Studio files

Free Printables - Labels

I was playing around with the Silhouette Design Studio software today, particularly with the internal offset. I drew these labels, and chose the colours according to the new Dear Lizzy and Crate Paper collections. I am hoping they print out true to colour. Anyways, I would love to share these labels.

If you would like them, become a follower of my blog and leave a comment saying so. Also, let me know your email address to send the files to, and whether you would prefer them in PDF or .Studio files. The registration marks are for the Cameo, but I am sure you could adjust them on the Silhouette Design studio for the SD :) See the next post for the download links, I was becoming overwhelmed with sending emails.

Project Life - January 1-15

I have decided to jump on the bandwagon and do Project Life. This is kind of similar to the Project 12 that I did last year but with divided page protectors. You can read more about Project Life here. I am using the page protectors from Becky Higgins, and other stuff from my stash. Some people do this with a picture a day, a 2 page spread per week. This seemed a little extensive to me, so I am doing 2 or 4 page protectors per month depending how many photos I take. This month it will be 4.

I know that I am behind, but I have been taking a picture a day so I think that I can manage. I also have a new toy which I absolutely LOVE - the Silhouette Cameo

Here is my first 2 page spread:

TFL!
