Even Easier

Welcome to this month's blog hop.  We are featuring the "Even Easier" technique as shown on page 91 of the Spring/Summer 2012 ideabook.  If you are coming from Shirley's blog you are on the right track!

Even easier - what could be better, right.  This is accomplished by two super simple steps using our Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and a stampset.  With a ideabook stuffed full of stamp sets made to coordinate with the 700 images available on the cartridge, all you have to do is pick your design, cut then stamp - how easy is that!!

For my layout I first began creating with our new Super Hero paper packet (X7152B).  The colors of the paper worked perfectly with my pictures and since it is all double sided I could choose pieces that had no "hero" images to use.  My next piece to use was our new stamp set Family Love (D1506).  I wanted a sentimental/crazy saying for my family photo and this worked great. I then cut my tag from the cartridge twice - once for the saying, then again for the blue mat (I added 1/4" to my measurement for the mat).  Sooo much easier than trying to cut this with scissors and get it nice and even!! 



On a final note, I added two more images cut from the cricut cartridge to my layout.  The blue stamp behind the saying and the tap for my hidden journaling.  Even though the image I used wasn't made exactly for the stamp cut, it fit perfectly in the end!!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you to create "Even Easier".  Now hop on over to Wendy's blog and see what she has in store for you.
