Hi everyone! This is the layout that I did this week for the Weddings with the Cricut blog, ( www.weddingswiththecricut.blogspot.com ) . The background paper is from a big K & Co. paper pad called the Best of K & Co. Too.  The metallic paper is from Walmart. The other papers are from my scrap stash!  All of the cuts are from the Graphically Speaking cricut cartridge. "Me & You" is on page 29 and is cut at 3.63"H. "Together" is also on page 29 and is cut using the jumbled feature at 1.95"H.  "Memories" is on page 31 and is cut at 1.95"H, also using the jumbled feature key. "Journey" is on page 48, is also 1.95"H and also cut with the jumbled feature. I added some flowers and some bling to perk things up a bit! All in all, this was a very simple layout that would work for a wedding, engagement or anniversary pic! It would also look great in a scrapbook page frame as a home decor piece! Thanks for looking and have ...

I had a request from a friend for 100 name tags for a bridal shower so I went to my trusty Cricut once again!  I used the Hannah Montana cartridge and cut the diamond and the layers at 2.47"H.  The bride's name tag had to, of course, be bigger and have more bling so it was cut at 3.63"H. "the Bride" is cut at 1.42"H. Stickles and gems make the bride's tag look really sweet!! Having a Gypsy and Cricut helped me finish this job in no time!

I made this card for Congratulations Thursday on Weddings with the Cricut last week!  This would be a great card to give with a wedding or shower gift!  I used the Wild Card Cricut cartridge and cut the house card on page 75. The card and all of the layers were cut at 4.58" with the Real Dial size OFF.  It is so simple to make but it so cute!  Of course, you can change up the colors to suit your taste!  When I make this card again, I think I will make it a little bigger - at least 5".  Thanks for looking and have a great day!

This project was posted on Decor Tuesday, Feb. 9th.  I thought this would be great to frame in a 12x12 scrapbook page frame with a family wedding picture. It could also be a layout in a scrapbook.  The background is just a 12x12 piece of Bazzill cardstock. I used Lyrical Letters for the overlay. I fit it to the page using my Gypsy but you could just use the fit-to-page button on your Cricut if you wanted to.  The word "FAMILY" was from Winter Woodland and was cut at 2.5". Very easy to make but also very elegant. I inked the edges of the overlay for some added color.  I will have another layout posted on Weddings with the Cricut on layout Wednesday.  Be sure to check it out as well as all of the other awesome projects that are posted there daily!  Lots of inspiration for DIY weddings!  Thanks for looking!
