I LOVE using my Cricut Explore and Silhouette Cameo to create die cuts for my pocket page layouts. One of the problems I was having is that it was taking me a long time to size my die cuts and determine how they would work on my layouts. So, I created a template to use and it has really made the process of setting up my cuts go so much faster. You can watch a video on how I use the templates:

This new set of printable embellishments is now available in my shop. It includes the 50 States + DC - one set in assorted colors and one in grey. How cute would these be in your travel journals or layouts? Each circle is sized at 2.25 inches. They are super easy to use - just print them out and cut with scissors or punch them out using a 2" circle punch! Use them in your personal projects as many times as you want!
Stay tuned for projects using these embellishments and some helpful hints for working with printables. Have a great weekend!
Here is my latest project life layout... I'm a little behind... :) I used the Everyday Eclectic collection by Echo Park - definitely one of my all time favorites. I had a lot of large photos to work with this week so these page protectors worked out well. Thanks for stopping by!
New set of printable journaling cards available. Available in grey or assorted colors, the set includes all 50 States plus D.C. A bonus geotag set is included as well. In the picture above, I used the cards in a mini album of a recent trip. The cards also work great on layouts or Project Life type spreads. Have fun documenting places you've lived, places you've visited, or places you want to see.
These sets are available in my Meylah or Etsy shops.
This video demonstrates how I use my iPad or iPhone to resize my pictures for printing. I use smaller pictures in mini albums and in my Project Life spreads. I easily create small prints using my iOS device and Canon Selphy printer.

I'm super excited to have completed my very first December daily album. When I first started the project I thought it was going to be a complete failure and I would not be able to keep up and that I would just quit halfway through the month. Two of the things that I believe helped me to keep on top of this project were one, printing my photos at home and two,having my embellishments and journaling cards ready before I sat down to scrap. I like printing my photos at home because sometimes the inspiration tends to leave me before I'm able to send my pictures out, get them printed and get them back home. Then they sit in the "to be scrapped" box for a indefinite period of time. Having my embellishments and journaling cards ready also saves me time because I'm not wandering around my craft room looking for embellishments and journaling spots to using my book.
That being said I'm now extremely inspired by my December daily book and would like to continue the process in 2013. To create these books, I followed this wonderful tutorial HERE. My plan is to scrap a picture a day in a journal or mini album type of book with just a journaling card and maybe a very simple embellishment to go along with it. For those days when I have more than one picture -like for some sort of event or occasion - my overflow pictures will go into the project life type of album. I'm excited for my updated scrapbooking process so stay tuned for updates and pictures!
I knew it was a while since I posted anything here but didn't realize it was that long! I'm so sorry for my absence. But, I'm back with a new share - some super cute journaling cards! They measure 3x4 inches and I can't wait to use them in my projects. You will see these in an upcoming project that I'm working on. You can get your own set in my Etsy shop here:
