Life Documented...yes indeed! It still feels surreal, living in a pandemic and trying to be as 'normal' as we can! Who would have envisioned we would be trending #stayhome #covid19 #quarantine, am I right?!!

Well for some of us it means getting to those 'projects' and 'to-do lists' that we've been putting off because we didn't have time...boy have the tables turned on us now!

I don't know about you but I've been home pretty much full-time since March 11th...so that is what... 4 weeks!? 

We listed my house two months ago and now that we've stopped showing, I can bring in the bins of scrapbook product I've been meaning to do something with! (LOL) 

So I've been cutting and prepping and creating some pre-cut Kwik Kits to add to my mobile store...now that there isn't a mobile store needed in this current new 'normal'...I figured I could show them off here! I have a limited number of each of these kits, so if anyone would like one, let me know!

This layout is featuring a new cut file in our Cricut Everyday Moments Collection. Pair this with some older paper packs I've been collecting called Dotty for You!

The Sweet Life $11.50

Ok, so how cute is this?!!! It's all cardstock but LOADS of Cricut cuts! Also from our new Cricut Everyday Moments Collections.

 Magical $16.50

So who would've known I had some oldies but goodies in my stash?!! I didn't! This layout sat on my workspace and started as one thing and ended up here...can't wait to add some photos of John in his garage with his '66 Chevelle!

 Man Cave $14.95

I've added another cut from the Cricut Everyday Moments Collection, the Star outline is a fun one and I think this paper line was called 'Rock'On' ? maybe...

Hooray for You! $11.50

Message me on Facebook or by email if you'd like to grab one of these Kwik Kits, first come first serve as I do have limited numbers of each.

If you came from Janet's Blog then you are in the right place!

Every month I create a workshop with the featured paper collection and this is one of the layouts the ladies will be working on!



I have been trying to incorporate a Cricut cut with each month's Page Club...the cityscape from 'You Are Here' 'worked quite well for this Central Park paper collection.



This is a little of Beautiful British Columbia. Vancouver City, Stanley Park and Gas Town was where we decided to spend an afternoon...enjoying being a tourist in our own town :)



Our cloud cuts (Cricut) are fun but I wanted to add some additional dimension so I ran a few of them through the Cuttlebug using our retired dots embossing folder.



I'll add some journaling later on my PML card space...'a walk in the park' coudn't have been more perfect a title for this afternoon downtown.



The package of coordinating Central Park Complements has some cardstock weight stickers (love those) and some blue foil vellum embellishments which were fun to try to incorporate on this layout.



The green PML card was also the perfect photo mat...I try to remember to use those for mats when I can as having two sheets of PML cards in each paper pack means I'll have extra cards to use another way...



I've used this sketch from Let's Scrap Sketches as my starting point for this layout as well!

That's it for me...now off to Diana's Blog!
