“Fireworks” by Megan Smith

1. Gather your supplies: Crop Addict July 2011 Monthly Kit, Crop Addict July 2011 Monthly Kit Option, four photos (one 4”x6”, one 3”x6”, one 3”x3”, one 1¾” x 1¾”), a thin-tipped orange marker, date stamp, black StazOn ink and various adhesives.
2. Use the yellow cardstock as your base. Use the orange thin-tipped marker to draw a thin border around the edge of your layout, approximately ¼” in from the edge.
3. Adhere your photos in a grid fashion starting with the 4”x6” photo so it’s 2½” from the bottom edge of your layout and 1½” from the left edge of your layout. Then, adhere the 3”x6” photo directly to the right of the first photo.  Then, adhere the 3”x3” photo directly to the right of that photo and in line with its bottom edge. Next, adhere the small black frame to the smallest square photo and adhere it above the 3”x3” square photo so the frame edges are flush against the other two photos.
4. Add the “Boom” sticker to the bottom of the frame.
5. Add three strips to the bottom of your layout – one that’s the blue paper, one with the decorative grid tape and one with the navy blue border strip. They should all be varying lengths to add visual interest and one should touch the right edge of your layout.
6. Choose five fireworks stickers and adhere them to the blue paper. Fussy-cut them out. Adhere two near the upper left of your photo grid, one overlapping the upper right corner of your frame and two near the lower left center of your layout overlapping the decorative tape. Use dimensional adhesive on three of the fireworks for added visual interest.
7. Use the alpha stickers to add your title above the photos.
8. Take the small blue rectangle label and add your date to it using the date stamp and StazOn ink. Adhere in the lower right corner of your layout over the decorative grid tape.
9. Embellish your fireworks with yellow and orange eyelets and blue mini-brads.

“Smiles” by Megan Smith

1. Gather your supplies: Crop Addict July 2011 Monthly Kit, Crop Addict July 2011 Monthly Kit Option, one 4”x6” photo, extra sheet of cardstock in any color, four border punches, a black journaling pen, circle cutter and various adhesives (including dimensional adhesive).
2. Adhere the patterned paper with the bike to the spare piece of cardstock for extra support. This is your base.
3. Cut a piece of the brown with blue polka dot paper to 11”x1½”.  Cut a piece of the green on green circle patterned paper to 6 ¾”x 1½”. Use your circle cutter to cut a 4¾” diameter circle from the blue paper.
4. Take the three just-cut pieces of paper and one of the border die-cuts and layer them in the center of your layout, taking care not to cover the bike or polka dots on the background paper.
5. Adhere your photo over these layers.
6. Take four different My Minds Eye Papers and punch a different border strip from each one, each strip being about ¼” wide. Add one border strip to each side of the photo, trimming the overhanging edges to create a frame around your photo.
7. Embellish the upper left corner of the photo with a die-cut and title block. Use dimensional adhesive on the title block and add two red clips to it for extra detail.
8. Embellish the lower right corner of the photo with three die-cuts using dimension adhesive on at least one of the die-cuts.
9. For added detail, glue several of the metal rings to the polka dots on the background paper.
10. Add your photo caption to your layout using the black journaling pen.

July How-to's!

This was such a quick and easy card to put together using the July Kit from Crop Addict. 

I just LOVED the end result.

1. Paint star chipboard with blue acrylic paint and set aside to dry.

2.  Place sticker strips on white 51/2 X41/4" cardstock.

3.  Place small Adorn It Let Freedom Ring letters on card.

4. Attach star with pop up dots and place tissue paper flower inside with red sticker dot.

5.  I also put 3 dots on after Let Freedom Ring with my fine point Sharpie marker.

This is the day Jeremy became a Boy Scout.  He and his pack worked so hard to complete the requirements they needed to become a Boy Scout.  I know Daddy worked hard too as their leader. 

All supplies except for the compass stamp, the Smooch Spritz and the ink pad 

are from the July Crop Addict Kit .

1. Prepare your cardstock by misting on the Tattered Angels compass stamp.  I used Smooch Spritz log cabin.  Cut 11 X11.  Mount on Abby Road My Mind's Eye pattern paper and sew around the outside edge.  

2. Distress with Charcoal Colorbox ink pad.

3.  Cut out scallop from Cricut cartridge.

4. Cut My Mind's Eye pattern paper to 41/2".  Attach to layout and distress with Charcoal Chalk box ink pad.

5. Doodle around the outside edge between sewing and edge of cs/pattern paper.

6.  Place scallop on edge of cs and pattern paper.  Sew down using straight stitch.

7.  Attach embellies(pattern strips of paper, quote and circles).  I popdotted the circles to give a little more pizzazz.

8.  Sew around the edge of the pictures.

9.  Attach letters.(these were from my stash)

Thanks for looking.  If you have any questions, just let me know and I will try to explain better.
