Or am I the only crazy one.

MY VERSION OF CINDERELLA

Well my daughter wanted a Cinderella cut from the Happily Ever After Cricut cartridge, so here it is.......oh my goodness these people are so intense to cut out....I was going NUTS........anyways I finally finished it...It actually looks a whole lot prettier in person...The camera kind of made her look really dark..........I used lots of Martha Stewart glitter on the top of her dress and glass rhinestones on the bottom of her dress in the flowers.....

WORKING ON SOME LAYOUTS.............YIKESSSSSSSSS

Yelp that's right, I have been working on a few layouts this weekend.........It is funny, years ago, that is all I did......I totally drove my kids crazy taking pictures of them everyday so that I could scrap a new layout.........then I started making cards and KIND OF slacked big time on doing layouts...to the point that I almost don't feel comfortable in doing them or shall I say in showing people my layouts........Boy there are some talented scrappers out there, but I have came to realize one thing, that I really don't like to much of a BUSY page or very bulky...With that said, here is one of the layouts I did last night..I have ALWAYS loved this picture of my husband and my Benjamin....
