Tree House

This is the last set of pages from my all day crop. We went to the Lookout Farms in MA and they have a big playground for the kids. There's a tree house, which is not really on a tree, it's more like a log house. Maybe I should change the title...

Apple picking pages

Last Saturday I went to an all day crop event. I didn't stay the whole 12 hours (I stayed 9 hours) and I was able to produce 6 pages from our apple picking day.. I don't think I'm going to impress anyone with just 6 pages because that's 1.5 hours per page; but I think they came out nice and I caught up with the latest gossip which is even more important! haha!

I bought a Decorative Trimmer from Creative Memories and I love it. I also have the Ultra ShapeXpress Starter Sets from Fiskars and there's no comparison, creative memories is much easier to use.
Here are my pages. Thanks for looking!

Happy Halloween

I made this layout using the following Cricut cartridges:
Letters - Zoobaloo
Tree, ghost, owl, cat, spider, bats, pumpkins - Paper Dolls
Circle - George
Green under the pumpkins is from Celebrations
