Things I got done at the crop on 9/19/08

Okay so I started all these projects last week in hopes of using my new cricut on some of them. However, the cricut didn't work (yeah brand new and doesn't even come on right! lol See my previous blog for details). So everything got set aside until I could complete it during the week.






The first project was two pages for my Christmas 2006/New Years 2007/Utah Trip album (I know a lot in one, but it was actually all spent in Utah we were just there for both). Anyway, I wanted to use the cricut to do the title. I completed everything else on the page as far as the paper goes, but had to glue it all down, put the title on and do the embellishments. So today 9/26/08 I was able to complete them and get everything put in place. I think they turned out great!






























The second project was maze books for my DS and two nephews. My DS and one nephew are best friends. We get to see them about twice a year and while there they are joined at the hip. Their birthday's are 1 day apart (same year). They are definitely that "two peas in a pod" saying. When we were in Utah this summer when one of them would walk into the room the other would yell his name and light up like they hadn't seen each other for years yet it had only been 5 minutes! lol They call each other on the phone every couple of weeks and both are going to pre-school and both LOVE Thomas and both are just so much alike that they get along wonderfully. So I wanted to make some books for the boys for them to both enjoy and see each other whenever they wanted. In the 2nd picture I have put page 1 and 2 in the same pic (one from each boy's album) and then the 3rd picture is of page 3 and 4. Well the "best friend" nephew has a younger brother and I knew I could not make a book for just one of them. So I decided to do a third book for him. An All About Me. I think they both turned out great. I started the books last Friday, but finished the pictures and everything inside the books and the covers during the week this week. So here they are. PS don't mind my fingers in the pictures, they don't lay down flat so I had to use something! lol At least my nails look decent!
