Mini Album

I made this for my daughter who is away at college and wanted her to have a cute mini album of her cat. (I made one for her last year but a diff style).
The pages were cut at 4" from Key # 3c from Accent Essentials. Misc buttons and ribbon scraps were added.
This was a lot of fun - and you can add as much as you want. This is a 6 page album, I used Stampin' Up card stock which is very sturdy.

King of our house

I completed this layout for MAF blog and I used IA for the crown - cut at 3". The title "Bella" is cut at 2" from the font selection on A Child's Year. (love this font!!!)

Hearts are cut from Stampin' Up punch.

Bella - First Christmas

We couldn't wait to see what Bella was going to do when he saw us put up the tree. What! He climbed in to take a nap! We promptly removed him but not until I grabbed my camera of course!

I used 9.17 sketchy thursdays challenge to complete this LO

Martha Stewart fern punch and K&Company rhinestones. Coluzzle used to cut our B E L L A from HOTP paper.
Martha Stewart snowflake punch and K&Company rhinestones.

I finally bought the Cricut Expression "E". I couldn't pass up the price at AC Moore.

I read on the Cricut Newsletter of Word Books and wanted to make one for my daughter of our new kitty.


The directions for use with the Expression Cricut Machine and PS (Plantin Schoolbook) Cricut cartridge.

Here are the directions of how I had written them down - someone made a LOVE word book from another MBer (change the letters to whatever you like):

Important Make sure you have the mix and match feature ON
Make sure the paper saver feature is OFF
Make sure you have the end caps feature ON
Choose 5 ½”
Using the endcaps feature
for "L" card - space - L
for "O" card - space - space - O
for "V" card - space - space - space - V
for "E" card - space - space - space - space - E
For shade use endcaps shadow feature and repeat as above, it you use caplocks for above use them for the shadow too.
Adhere the fronts to the shadows and trim the outside of the letters. I found that the "O" covered the "V" too much so I lined up the "L" and the "O" and trimmed both so the "O" was not so far over the "V"
