Life is Good!

Life is very Good over at the Bitten by the Bug blog. The design team was tasked with using the LIFE is GOOD cut from the Graphically Speaking cricut cartridge, and wow did they ever show "LIFE is GOOD". Do stop by and check out the amazing projects.

I scrapped President Obama's inaugural photos for my submission. I blinged my key phase while using red, white, and blue colors. The paper is from an exclusive line available at Scrap My Trip. Julie's team came up with amazing election products just for those of us who add moments of history to our family books.

Below are photos of the blinged out Life is Good phase, as well as a photo of the full two page layout.

I hope our LIFE is GOOD this week!!

Home Safe and Sound

Wow, what a weekend! A group of friends and I (my friends Kathy, Toby, Suzanne, Pat, Beth, and Sally) joined a larger group of extended friends at a scrapbooking retreat in GA. this weekend. Our adventures began on Thursday afternoon and we arrived home safely tonight (Sunday). I managed to scrap 38 pages (beating last year's total by 2 pages), as well as make a card for a future BBtB challenge.

I am not going to post all 38 pages, but I will give a you a little peek into my weekend. First, Bethany's room in Charleston, where she is in college:

Ian and some friends celebrating his 18th birthday:

For Ian's senior year album - History being made:

For the Family Book, Thanksgiving time:

Same Thanksgiving photos scrapped for Bethany's book:

And finally, page one of Ian's two page layout from the Flashback concert:

New Obama Logo Cut File

Buffy on the cricut message board was looking for an Obama logo cut file. I created the circle logo. The red pieces require a bit of hand trimming, but otherwise this should work. The file has been posted on the cut file list below.

President and Mrs. Obama

Back during the Paper Doll Dress Up character file swap I created a Barack and Michelle Obama cut file. In honor of our new President and First Lady, I have posted Barack and Michelle to my cut file directory.
