OK I got a few new ones photographed.
Self Portrait (Concord, MA) - While walking near the North Bridge my sister had the camera because she had been taking some pictures of me and decided to take her own picture. I was blown away with it because it was awesome. You can't see it because its blurred out, but she has her head tilted down a bit with her eyes looking down in this neat contemplative expression. It just looks really cool with the beauty of nature behind her. I was shocked to realize she took it herself.
For the layout I printed the photo as a black and white 5x7. The paper I used I think is by Dream Street called "Letters for Julia" or something. I can't find the bottom piece right now that says what it is. The leaves on the side of the picture are rubons that come with jewels. I found them at hobby lobby one day. I put one of the jewels on the I in "portrait." For the title I used Printing Press (letter only option) for the world "Self" and Cutting Up (serif option) for the word "portrait." The quote a the top of the page I recreated from one by My Mind's Eye. I really liked the look and saying, but the colors of it didn't fit my layout so I just recreated it in Powerpoint actually. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. It turned out almost as I invisioned it.
Massaschusetts State House (Boston, MA - Freedom Trail) - This was one of the first stops along the Freedom Trail. I had a hard time picking paper for this one. I finally settled on trying to bring out the goldish color of the dome. Again I don't have the bottom, so I'm not sure who made the paper. The title is a font called "Olivia" for the Cuttlebug. It was quite annoying to cut out the word "Massachusetts," but I like how the font looks. The little square at the bottom right of the page is embossed using the Cuttlebug. I wrote the date and that on it. You may see that on other Freedom trail layouts.
Hartwell Tavern (Concord, MA) - Along battle road is Hartwell Tavern. The National Park service owns it and they do demonstrations and things there. You can go inside and look around. I have several other layouts that show the inside. These two show the outside.
The part on left part of page 1 is inspired by the sign for the tavern.
For the horse I used Happily Ever After. The horse is from Cinderella, but the hair and tail is from a horse under the Sleeping Beauty section. The sign has a man riding the horse, but I couldn't figure out how to make on to look like on the sign, so I left it off. I think it looks good without the rider. I used the "Olivia" font set from the Cuttlebug for the title. I think the second page needs something, but not sure what. I'm just happy that my idea to recreate the sign turned out as good as it did.

On Wednesday I took my scrapbooking stuff into work and decided to do the layouts for our visit to the New England Pirate Museum (NEPM) in Salem, MA. On Tuesday night I had cut out a bunch of items from Paper Doll Dress UP (PDDU) since I don't take the Cricut in with me. Overall I'm very pleased with how these turned out. Some of them are simple, but I think look good. All of the text is taken directly from the museum. While there I made sure to photograph all of the signs to correspond to the exhibit. I have a few that I wasn't sure of, so I just didn't include those.
Title Page: I used Base Camp cut at 1.25 on the rectangle feature to get the smaller letters. I used Stamped on the shortie feature for the "Pirate Museum" part. The box at the bottom is the rectangle from Stamped. The coins and jewels are part of a piece of paper. It was quite tedious to cut out those sections along the necklaces. The paper is by Karen Foster and came in a kit I got at Hobby Lobby. Oh and the skull and bones is from PDDU cut at 2.5 at real dial setting.
Pirate Nate - This is one of my favorite pages!!! The NEPM is by guided tour only and each group has a different Pirate guide, ours was Pirate Nate. He was really funny! I used PDDU to create a mini Pirate Nate. When I made him it looked like his pants were black on the screen, but in the printed photo they look more dark blue. Oh well, the mini one has black pants! I remembered that Nate had tall, black shiny boots, so I used some Glossy Effect on the boots to make them shiny. I used the Leprachun (sp?) beard and trimmed it down to create Nate's beard. The boots are from I think the Prince, but I could be wrong. The paper is Rusty Pickle.

New England's First Pirate - No Cricut was used on this layout. Paper is by Rusty Pickle
Black Sam Bellamy and the Whydah - On Sunday or Monday (I can't remember now) National Geographic Channel had a whole special about Bellamy and finding the wreck of the Whydah, which inspired me to work on these layouts. The paper for this one is by Karen Foster again from the page kit. The picture really doesn't do this one justice because the colors look a lot better in person. On the Whydah I tried to create lines to make it look more like a wooden boat. Overall I was pleased with how it turned out.
Ned Low - The skull and bones are from PDDU. I might add something else to this one, but I couldn't find anything that worked so I might leave it as is. It looks better in person, the colors aren't coming through well. The paper is plain black cardstock and a bit of printed paper by Karen Foster.
Last Pirate - I used PDDU to create the girl pirate. I used the Pioneer dress for the outfit as well as the boots. I used the pirate girl hair. The paper is by Karen Foster.

Hangings of Fly and Kidd - Again no Cricut was used on this layout. I combined these two because at the museum they were sort of connected in the same exhibit and they have the same theme. The square at the bottom is from a piece of paper by Rusty Pickle.
Captain Plowman and Jack Quench - Again just a simple layout. The paper is by Karen Foster.
Black Beard's Treasure - The paper for this is by Karen Foster. I used PDDU for the treasure chest. On the chest I used Bazzil for the darker color to give it the texture of being wood. I used Stickles gunmetal color on the lock portion with a dab of gold in the middle. It wasn't dry yet, so its not actually attached.
Closeup of Chest:
Pirate Veal at Dungeon Rock - I think this is probably my other favorite layout! The paper is by Karen Foster. I ripped the edges then chalked them. Under the one corner I put a small bit of the treasure paper. I cut out a few of the coins for the side. I used PDDU for the treasure map, chalked the edges then used Red stickles for the X to jazz it up.

I finally got around to taking some photos of a layout I finished recently.
This layout is from the Witch Dungeon Museum in Salem, MA. The stocks are located out front and a great photo op for crazy people like myself and I.
I used Bazzill for the background paper. The color scheme for it comes from the other layouts for the Witch Dungeon Museum, but those aren't quite done yet. The photo is a tad dark. I used Paper Doll Dress Up to create the poor Puritan in the stocks. I used George to create three 1 in circles then cut the two bars in the middle to fit the head through. I realized AFTER I finished the layout I could have used Design Studio to create smaller circles for the hands, but oh well. To get the arms through the holes, I had to chop them off! EEK!
I then reattached them in the proper position. So not only is this poor person in the stocks, but they got their arms chopped off. I used gold stickles on the shoe buckles to make them stand out. I also chalked the "stocks" to make it look more like wood grain. For the title I used Powerpoint since I wanted to use an old English font then chalked and inked it to age it a bit.
