It was so much FUN putting these together and using some of the tools I hadn't done much with in a while.
I'm still using my original small Cricut machine, which works great for creating title letters and embellishments like the ones on this Sweet Baby Girl layout.
I pulled out a couple of small dies and used the Cuttlebug Embosser and Die Cutter for the stars and footprints on the It's A Boy page.
I pulled out a couple of rarely used stamps (journal box with lines & the word JOURNEY) to complete this yellow and brown layout that uses two inch by two inch squares along the bottom.
What older tools have you pulled out to create with lately?
Very nice creations. I haven't used either my Circuit or my Silhouette in months & I often feel guilty for that. All the upgrades to Silhouette have made it far too much work to use with any ease (IMO).
ReplyDeleteI've presented my group with a challenge to use punches in a creative way on a layout. I can't wait to see what they come up with when we have our weekend retreat at the end of the month. We go somewhere 2 or 3 times a year and I always challenge them with something. We all have so much stuff that doesn't get used! BTW I still have my original "baby bug" too! I just can't justify a large purchase for another one.
