Grease Monkey

Originally I was going to use a different photo but some where along the lines, I found this photo and I thought, OMG! I'm going to use this one!  This is one of the family's favorites!  Well, me, my husband, and his side of the family adore it.  His family is entirely made up of mechanics.  It's funny because they (my husband and his two other brothers and one of the girlfriend) were all trying to get our daughter to smile for a good 10 minutes, I walk out there with the camera ready in hand and say, "Hi hunny! Who's the pretty girl?" Click. I was the only one who got it.  Everyone else was one second to late.  It was so classic!

I wanted to add something else to this page but after staring at it all day long, and even though I think something is missing, my husband pointed out, "we are simpletons hunny...so naturally my crafts will follow in that manner.  Plus too, I like it just the way it is".  Aww!  That made my night. 

Materials Used:
Photo Size: 5" x 7"

Cardstock:
Best Creations Inc., Transportation (this sheet is double sided and both sides are displayed in the layout)
Bazzill Cardstock Ebony  (Scalloped Circle)
Bazzill Lava (Title)
I don't know the color name of the gray but I do know it is a Bazzill Cardstock

Embellishment:
Stickles Christmas Red

Cartridges:
Elegant Edges - Scalloped Circle - cut at 9 1/2"
Street Sign - (grey and inner-most) Circle - I used my Design Studio to line up the sizes, I didn't check to see what the sizes were.  Sorry.
Mickey Mouse Font - Title cut at 1.3" used the Cricut Craft Room for fonts.  It's WAY easier than Design Studio.

Santa's Workshop

I've made this layout for this past Christmas pictures.  My daughter and our neighbor's son go to the same baby-sitter and naturally, always play together.  Occasionally, we'll have dinner together and sometimes a few drinks too. =)  I really love my neighbors because me and the mom get along great!  Especially when it comes to taking pictures of our kids....hence, these pictures.

I know I designed this layout with the help of a sketch from online.  I thought I had pinned it to my Pinterest, but I didn't. =S I have been searching for the sketch but it just doesn't want to be found.  Sorry guys.

Here's the goodie details of the layout

Recipe for page, above:
Paper: I found all of the designer cardstock at Ben Franklin's 50% red tag sale!  Whoo hoo!  But here's the finer detail:

• Pebbles - Welcome Christmas: Candy Cane, Santa's List, and Trim the Tree

Christmas Trees: Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge

• Tree Sizes: 8 3/4", 5 3/4", and 4 1/2"
• Paper that I used for the trees:  all came from my "scrap" box.  Off the top of my head, the darkest green: Bazzill Green, medium green: Bazzill Parakeet, and I don't know what the lightest green is.  I do know it's a Bazzill "Smoothie" Cardstock style.  For the trunks: the darkest brown: Bitter Chocolate, the light brown, I don't know.

Title: "Santa's Workshop" came from Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge as well.  I don't remember the size that I used.
Photo Sizes: Two 4" x 4"

Recipe for page 2:
Paper: same as above
Christmas Trees: Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge

• Tree Sizes: 7 3/4" and 3 1/4"
