Celebrate 20

My daughter recently turned 20 and I really don't know how it happened. Time has just gone by too quickly. We're always looking for an excuse to go to Texas and I just happened to have a business trip that put us in Dallas on her birthday. How perfect is that?! She brainstormed on some things she wanted to do while there and top of her list was the Galleria Mall and of course cheesecake. We were able to pick up a cheesecake at this wonderful Czech bakery a friend told me about. More layouts coming on that little venture later. The Galleria Mall was fantastic and even though the traffic and construction made it horrific to get there she had a blast so it was all worth it.

I used the Oct Sketchy Thursday sketch at Scraptastic 

I also used the colors pink and gold to participate in Mariannes you tube challenge for her QFF video.

Scrappin With my Bug

It seems like I've been working on this forever. I kept changing and adding things. I think I'm pretty happy with it other than I think it needs some more bling. lol

This will be going on my table in Dallas and then hanging on my wall when I get back. I think it turned out too fun!

Now for a little detail about what I used to create it. Scrappin With my Bug came from the new Everyday Cricut cart exclusive to Circle members. It has soo many cute phrases it was hard to decide on one. The frame is from Lacy Labels. I definitely see places for a little bling here!

I made Cowboy Cricut with two carts. The body and clothes are from Paper Doll Dress Up and the head is from Everyday Cricut. I chose the cowboy get up in honor of the Stampede but he'll be right at home in my studio afterwards.

I'm not so sure she turned out looking like me but she is cute! She's from Paper Doll Dress Up as well as her camera. I used Diva Liquid Pearls for her buttons on her shirt, pink pearls for her earrings and some diamond bling for her ring.

And my favorite part of her accessories!! She has her own Cricut Circle charm bracelet! Isn't that fabulous?!  I had to hand cut it because it was soo tiny! I used some diamond glaze on it to stiffen it up then attached it to a beaded bracelet I strung together.

The last little detail is my pink cricut from Everyday Cricut again. Even though I cut it bigger the buttons were just too small so I ended up drawing them in with a marker. I'm not sure how big you would have to cut it to get them big enough to cut out so be warned if you decide to try this cut.

I hand cut the table as well. I even made it the colors of my table in my studio. It's perfect! I had another table cut from the French Manor cart but I just couldn't get the proportions to work with everything else. I'm so glad because this complements my room and the layout so much better.

Shutterbuggin, my messageboard name and Tina were cut with Pooh Font and the capital letters are from the cricut font on Everyday Cricut.

I think that about covers it. If I missed anything let me know and I'll be happy to answer. Be sure to let me know what you think and if you're coming to Dallas.
