Disney Tiki Room

Tina here with another post for sweetsassydiva Design Team. Our challenge this week is to use 3 carts or more. Well that's never a problem for me. LOL

I'm still working on my disney albums and had these photos from the Tiki room up next to work on. I went looking for some birds and tiki theme stuff and began creating.

This bird came from the Life's a Beach cart. He looks black here but he really is blue. ;o) The flowers are from Pack Your Bags.

This little guy is from Birthday Bash. I used my cuttlebug to add some interest to the cuts and then my usual pen work.

I hope you enjoy my layout and visit me again for more great Disney layouts!

Well I'm back with the final two beach layouts. I hope you've enjoyed my quick layouts here lately and are inspired to scrap even when life gets in the way.

This is still yet another kit from TLC. I love their papers! It's such a shame they didn't make it as a business. I cut the little mermaid from LAB and blinged her up with a green jewel for her hair. The flower is really a starfish but I cut two of them out of burgandy paper and layered them for a flower.

I cut some various seaweed from LAB and used around the photos to tie the layout together.

The second page I really didn't do much to. I added some coral, shove, and seaweed along with some more word stickers. The journalling block is an embellishment from the paper kit.

Recipe:

Mermaid 3 1/2" - Life's a Beach

Seaweed 3" - Life's a Beach

Coral 2" - Life's a Beach

Shovel 2" - Life's a Beach

Various word stickers from Hobby Lobby

Gettin Wet and a little personal update

Hello all! I know I promised these layouts a few weeks back but it just seems like life always gets in the way. I usually don't share a lot of personal stuff on my blog because originally I only blogged for me so I could go back and see I was accomplishing something. I never dreamed I would make so many friends or have people that wanted to follow me and my work. My blog has grown into a great network of women that inspire me and hopefully I can do the same sometimes.  I appreciate all of you that come to my blog and share your comments and friendship with me. So just a little update as to where I've been. My hubby has been ill for a couple of months and no one could diagnose what was wrong. We have spent a lot of days at various Dr's appts and two stays at the hospital. On May 25th we finally got the diagnosis that he has lymphoma. It was a great shock to both of us because he is so incredibly healthy and active. He has started chemotherapy and we still spend a lot of time at the Dr's but it's getting better and more of a routine so life is becoming a little more predictable. I have already received so much support and prayers from many of you that I chat with on the cricut message board and it means the world to me. We continue to ask you to keep us in your prayers and thoughts as we continue through treatment. One of the great shocks was to learn there is no cure for lymphoma but it can be managed very well through chemo. As I learn more about this journey we are taking I will be talking about it more on my blog to raise awareness of lymphoma and the many people that live with it. It is unthinkable in the world of science and technology we live in today that there are so many unknowns for this disease. I hope you'll join me in raising awareness of this disease and supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Association for finding a cure.

Now onto a brighter note. Here's another layout to go with the California Dreamin one I posted a couple of weeks ago. It's really a simple one and not a lot of cricut but enough to give the page that something extra.

The title gettin wet and papers are more from my TLC days of selling their product. They're no longer in business but they had fabulous paper and kits.
I added some cuts from cricut and Life's a Beach and had a really quick layout that's cute even if I do say so myself.

Recipe:

Fish 1 3/4 - Life's a Beach

Umbrella 3 1/2" - Life's a Beach

Various word stickers from Hobby Lobby

Paper Kit from TLC

I hope you enjoyed seeing another of my quick beach layouts. I have a couple more I'll be posting soon.

California Dreamin'

I'm so excited to announce that I've been added to the sweet sassy diva design team. It's a great honor to be chosen to be a part of it. Be sure to check out all the other design team members projects this week and their blogs. I know you'll be inspired with all their work.

My first assignment was a beach theme and it was a lot of fun to go back a few years and scrap some pictures from our first and only trip thus far to the beach.

 Of course I used my cricut and the Life's a Beach cartridge for all the cuts on this layout. I used my gypsy to weld the crab border together. I then inked it up all up. If you don't have the gypsy you could simply cut the border cut 3 times and glue them edge to edge. I cut it at  1 1/2 inches.
The title was cut at 2 inches and again I used my cat eye inks and brown pen to detail the cut. The sun is cut at 3".

 The sand pail was cut at 2 3/4"  I added a button on the handle for some extra pop.

I also created this for the cricut circle blog tic tac toe challenge. I chose the top row which was the sun, gypsy which I used to create the crab border, and a button.

I hope you enjoy my first layout for the sweet sassy design tem and come back to see more. I have 3 more beach layouts I'll be posting this coming week.
