Farmyard Layout






Farm yard Layout!
 This is my first layout using my new gypsy.  I made the grass tall, and made the clouds on the gypsy.  (Yes I made the clouds!)  I pulled up the cloud from everyday paper dolls (on my wish list) and added it to a layer.  Then I took circles and ovals from plantain school book and filled in on a new layer, welded it and whala... I got clouds.  That whole experience has put me on cloud 9 in scrapping land:) lol.  Anyways enough of that, here are the cuts.

Wild Card
Pig 2
ducks 2 
Grass in front of fence 2 1/2
Old West
Cow 3
Horse 3
Fence 2 1/2 (made 3 of them)
Barn 7
feed sack 1 3/4
pitch fork 4 1/2
rope 1 1/2
hay bail 1 1/2
Windmill 7 1/2
tattered background 5 1/2 with 3 in oval cut out with plantain school book
board frames 3 1/2 (made 3 of them)
(The bard doors have buttons on them that open up to my journaling.) 
Plantain school book
clouds with gypsy, see above
grass in background with gypsy so it wouldn't cut it off so short.  (I welded 3 grasses at 1 1/2 together with a large rectangle welded to the bottom so the machine wouldn't cut so short.  Then I can cut off my grass where I want it to be on the page.) 

Celebrate with Flourish
turkey 2 1/2 (just the layer itself)

Magnet Project





I was in the mood to make some magnets for my fridge.  I used my yourstory to laminate some pictures to give them extra durability.  Cricutted them up a bit and stuck 'telephone book' magnets on the back of them.
