Creating a design for a scrapbook


Life has been busy.  In between making cards, checkbook covers and picture frames - I somehow found time to do some scrapbooking.  My youngest grandson's 1st birthday had a sailboat theme, and I decided to design a sailboat since I did not own any boat type embellishments.  I went thru all my cricut cartridges to no avail.  So I drew out a design on paper and started with a large circle which I cut in half for the bottom of the sailboat.  Two triangles and a small flag completed my boat.  I like to think outside of the box, but time constraints don't always allow me the luxury of dreaming.  I realized lately, when I slow down and breathe, I can see what I create in all kinds of new ways.  I also found an old stencil which had a wave on the edge.  I used two different color inks to create the waves so my boat could sail!!
