Scrap Happy Ohio: Girly Layouts made with Best Creations "Ballet Princess" papers and more!

I would like to start off with a quick introduction. My name is Erin Nagy, I have been teaching the Cricut classes at Scrap Happy for a few months now. Susie asked me last week if I would like to be on the design team and I am very happy about that! I have been scrapbooking for about 8 years now, and teaching various classes on my own for 4 years. My scrapping style is usually simple and neat, but I love the look of direct to paper ink around the edges of mattes and color blocks. Last year I had the opportunity to become part of the Cricut Demo Army. That was a blast, but the program only lasted a few months. Most of my time at home is busy with DH, plus 3 kids, Nate age 17, Kayla almost 13 and Elizabeth age 5. They keep me running to various activities including: swimming, soccer, girl scouts, ballet, music lessons.....the list is endless :) I also work part time for my husband. So when do I craft? At night, or at Scrap Happy!

The plan is for me to post every Tuesday. I plan to include class samples, creative ways to craft with your Cricut and home decor projects. Today I have a layout sample for an upcoming class series that several of us will be taking turns teaching. ( I forget the class name, lol) but we are looking to give you scrappers some quick formulas to get layouts done quickly. Today's page I designed to fit a lot of full photos, saves time from having to crop them, and space to journal/make notes about the event. I am working with pictures of Elizabeth from ballet class at the Y and multiple other cute snapshots of her posing for the camera. The Ballet Princess papers are perfect for this! I have also a picture of the "boy" version of this layout design using "Robots" paper. Both sets of layouts will also include plain color Bazzil cardstock, We R embroidered paper, other pattern papers & coordinating cardstock stickers. The class will give you the choice of "girl" or "boy" papers :)
