Gettin' Crafty With Cricut Cuts Blog Hop

Welcome to the Gettin' Crafty With Cricut Cuts blog hop!!  
This blog hop is dedicated to making a project using your cricut and the cuts you can make from a cartridge. This should be a lot of fun.

With so many talented ladies and such a selection of Cricut cartridges, there will be a wide range of projects for you to enjoy.There were no rules, stipulations, or no holds barred to create and create we did!!!

If you just happened to be visiting my blog today, I greatly appreciate that but would love for you to start at the beginning of our hop so, that you don't miss a single project with Lisa. If you have arrived from Evila, then you are on the right cut of the path!!!


Remember, this is a two day hop and be sure to stop back tomorrow for more creativity!!!

If you get lost along the way, here is the entire hop that you won't miss a single piecing!!!






This time of year I am catching up on last year's pages for my boys.  Once baseball season starts, my scrappy time is limited.  Tyler went to a baseball camp called Coast to Coast in Arizona this past December.  I used my Gypsy to help me lay out my design.  When I design a 2 page layout (wich is most of the time), I open my Gypsy to a 12x24 mat.

I wrapped the title around the corner of my left page and used letters from Birthday Bash (shadow) sized at 1.46 inches.

I put a baseball corner in the corner from Sports Mania sized at 3.77 inches.

There were 3 boys from Nebraska at this camp and I took a photo of them.  My son, his friend Tony and a player from a Lincoln team.  I took a square from George and unlocked the chain to size it to 6.69w x 4.25h (when you use Real Dial size, the actual size is 6.25 x 4.25 for a 1/8 inch mat around a 4x6 photo). I welded the words "Nebraska Boys" from Opposite Attracts sized to 1 inch.

Here is a close up of the bottom of the photo mat.

I opened up Layer 2 and copied the shadow letters on the top half of my mat.  I put the regular letters (also sized to 1.46 inches) on the bottom of my mat.
I cut out the shadow in black cardstock and the regular layer in red cardstock.

I opened Layer 3 and put the three layers of the baseball corner on it.
I cut them out in red, white and black cardstock.

On layer 4, I copied the photo mat and the regular layer of letters on my mat.  I cut them out in black and red cardstock.

My son is in the middle!  His team colors are blue, black and white/gray so it was fun for me to use red on this layout!


I took some scrap paper and made a rosette to put in the center of these four photos.  I used a 3D sticker from my stash and a red cardstock circle for the center.

I used this Karen Foster baseball paper and brown kraft cardstock for the base of my layout.  I took these four highlight pictures of Tyler and trimmed them to 4x4 and matted them together on red cardstock.

I included a group photo of all of the players, and one of just the 15+ players.  I also included a photo of the catchers listening to instruction.

I rarely scrapbook without using my Gypsy and Cricut Expression ~ it makes things so easy!!!   Thanks for stopping by today!!  Your next stop is Ashley!
