100+ Miles - The Cut Shoppe

Sad to say this will be my last post over at The Cut Shoppe.  I have enjoyed my time over there, creating next to really talented ladies.  I am sad to go.  I won't be far though.  I will continue to created with plethora of files she has provided to her team.  She has been very very generous and I am grateful for the opportunity to get to know her more and work with her designs.  

Here is my last post:

My boys went on a 4-wheeling trip in Maine last year with my parents.  They all thought they were going 80 miles but ended up doing over 100!  Roman complained of a sore butt for days.  

I will still be around with other design teams, just the end of this fun trip!

Say it ain't Snow - Family

Today, over at Paper Issues, they are having Link Party where you can share your creations and possibly win a $20 gift card to the Paper Issues store.  You have until February 1st to link back.

You can share anything that you have to do with outside winter activities!  

I am sharing a layout I created using an older snowman family photo.  We built this to represent our family a few years ago.  My boy is so small here and those snowmen are ginormous!  

 For this layout, I used Gossamer Blue Get Happy paper collection.  The few splotches of America Crafts gold paint are perfect.  Although this collection is Christmasy, it is also perfect for just cold day photos.  You can pick up this collection for 20% off if you use my code: Mary-Ann. 

Here is a list of products I used for this layout.

Holiday Happy 12x12 

Wonderful Life 12x12

Trimming Trees 12x12

Layout re-do

Recently I was sorting my scrapbooking layouts to file them away into their albums.  (I need a new system!)  I came across three in the bunch that I had to ditch!  Like, I am embarrassed by them.  Seriously!  Here is the original stack to be put away. (Minus 3!)

I reprinted two of the photos and created a new layout with product I just received from Paper Issues!

The woodgrain paper and the Thanksgiving theme, made this layout a perfect fit for Paper Issues Current Link Party - Woodn't You Know, with PinkFresh Studio.  

Here is a list of product used on this layout:

Crate Paper - Open Book by Maggie Holmes: Die cuts and Ephemera

Shimelle - Swanson Paper

Gossamer Blue - Get Happy - Wonderful Paper

Heidi Swapp - Color Shine gold

MME - enamels

Studio Calico - Flair

Oh, one more thing!   

We say a recipe on Pinterest that my boy and I just had to try with the leftover spaghetti.  It is awesome!  Just needs a little dipping sauce on the side!
