My new friend Fiestafan from the SAC monthly Swap on cricut.com did a beautiful layout for me of my Dad.





I tried to make a layout of my Mom which would go together with the one fiestafan did. Although I couldn't get the same papers and have never done anything vintage, I think the two layouts go well together. The blue/green background papers go together better than they look in these pictures.

Layout

I think it is time to post a few layouts.
This layout was for a swap on the Cricut MB. To make a layout without pictures was very challenging for me. The theme for this layout was special places. I love the beach so I used the LAB cartridge and did something I have never done before. NO color.
I think it turned out well.

It is such a cold, windy, rainy day today that I thought I would post a couple of "warm" photos.
These are from Aruba(of course) LOL

I have been very busy working on a couple of swaps from the Cricut MB.
I so want to post some pictures but then it wouldn't be a surprise so I will have to wait a couple more weeks.

I am also in 2 groups of a monthly ATC swap. These little creations are VERY addictive. The Nov themes were Picnic & Something you love. Dec was Christmas.

This is my Cookie Recipe for a Swap I am hostessing on the Cricut MB.

ATC's

Here are my ATC's for GrammaP's Mix & Match ATC Swap. You had to choose a theme from group 1 and one from group 2 and create an ATC.
Mine are Historical Event/Movie--Travel/Game--Holiday/Book
Sorry, don't know why my Titanic is sideways!!!!!

Here are a few more cards that I finished up today. Again very simple cards but I am pleased with them all.

Work in progress

Here is a card that I made today. I have never tried a vintage card so I thought I would see what I could come up with. I am pleased with how it turned out even if it is pretty simple.
