CHERISH THIS MOMENT!!

WOOOO HOOOOO....are you ready for a week full of scrapbook layouts??? Well this weekend I had a BLAST creating so watch out!!! Scrapbooking is my passion and the real reason I began my crafting journey. Anywho, a local friend of mine Dayami and I challenged ourselves to creating layouts for our Project Life albums using our new amazing machine, THE SILHOUETTE SD. Have I said how much I LOVE MY SILHOUETTE???? It's the BEST machine out there. The cuts are so clean and perfect. My SBFF, Christina, from Creations with Christina, also received her Silhouette on Friday and she too spent the weekend playing and creating. Wait till you see the awesome layout she created with it. Now, I'm also a tab bit obsessed with Kerri Bradford's digital image kits. I can't get enough of them and each time she reveals a new one, I want it LOL. Almost every layout I created this weekend features one of her designs......she's amazing!!

My family and I took a mini vacation to St. Augustine this past March and I took a picture of my kids walking down an old cobble stone street - it was my favorite picture and I knew I wanted to create a single photo layout with it. I had purchased the camera image from the Silhouette store as well as the word CHERISH which went perfect with the theme. The picture is a 4 x 6 and matted with a cream cardstock. I also printed the same picture in a smaller version and added it to the lens of the camera to give the effect as if you were looking through the lens. I also used the tab "Always Together" which I cut from the Silhouette using the print and cut feature. Then I added the word cluster "way too cute officially undeniably true" from Kerri Bradford.

Other supplies: Cosmo Cricket pattern paper, October Afternoon pattern paper, Ali Edward stamps (my other obsession thanks for Nichol Maguorik), Brads, circle punch, Martha Stewart Leaf border punch, glossy accents, Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

Now I leave you with some pictures and remember, I will be posting a new layout every day this week so don't forget to visit again.

Hugs, T
