Wag-O-Meter

I really had fun with this little thank-you card using some of Eyelet Outlet's dog themed products! 

The "Wag-O-Meter" image is from Cricut's Paper Pups image set. I used the slice tool to take off the part of the image and then used curved text and print-then-cut tools to create the numbers.  

I embellished this card with one of the Eyelet Outlet puppy brads, an enamel arrow, paw print brads, wood grain washi tape, paw print washi tape, and skinny red washi tape.  

Check out the Eyelet Outlet online store for more dog-related brads and washi tapes and check back often, because you never know when even more great dogthemed products will be released!  😉

Cloud #9

Next time you need a fun way to let someone know how happy you are for them, reach for the sky and say it with the Eyelet Outlet clouds and sun brads!

I started with a cloud frame from Cricut Stand & Salute cartridge.  Have you ever noticed when using Eyelet Outlet brads on your cards that the recipients can't help but feel the brads?  The just add such touchable dimension to your project, who could help but want to feel them!  The sun and cloud brad on this card are no exception.  For an extra touch of dimension I also added an Eyelet Outlet enamel arrow.  Eyelet Outlet has so many sizes, colors, and styles of enamel dots and shapes!

How about a little "Throw Back Thursday," today!  Here's another card I created a year or so ago using some cloud brads that's always been one of my favs!

That's an adorable Eyelet Outlet pig brad atop the plane and he's flying high among the cloud brads on his plane from the Cricut Art Deco cartridge.  

If you're in the Marlborough, MA area this weekend, stop in and see us in person at the Scrapbook Expo September 7-8!  Thanks for stopping in today!

Back To School Scrapbooking

Let's get our scrapping on today, crafters!  Scrapbooking is actually where my passion for papercrafting began. I don't do as much of it now days, but recently I've scrapped several pages and feel like I've come back to my first love!  I've seen a lot of back to school pics on social media the past few weeks and Eyelet Outlet has so many great brads for the theme!

All of my die cuts are from the Cricut image library.  The star of these pages (besides the cute kiddos) are the Eyelet Outlet goodies!  Lets start at the top left.  It's hard to see in the photo, but the bus was coming down the road.  I placed an Eyelet Outlet Dog Brad in the grass that looks very much like my niece's dog!

The new Eyelet Outlet Paw Brads were perfect for this layout, because they simulated the Wildcat Tracks above the lockers in the photo!  Of course, no back to school lay out would be complete without some Eyelet Outlet Book Brads!

Moving on to the bottom portion of the page, there's even more Eyelet Outlet goodness!  I LOVE the way our Bumpy Clear Bling looks just like headlights on the bus!  I used the print then cut feature on my Cricut to put the school district's name on the bus. A few of the Eyelet Outlet Sign Brads were a fabulous touch!  We have several different styles of these and you'll find them all in our Miscellaneous Section at Eyelet Outlet.  Don't forget to pick up some Eyelet Outlet leaf brads for your fall projects.  The one on this part of my layout is the standard size.  

Side two of my page shows the kids arriving home from their first day at their new school!  By the looks on their faces, it will be a good school year!  

One of the newest brads at Eyelet Outlet are the Foam Hand Brads and they, too, are a great addition to any back to school scrapbook page! There are several colors in each package, so you're sure to get your some that are your school colors!  

Here's a close up of the leaf brads in the mini size that I used to embellish the photo frame. I added another stack of books.  Notice the book brads come in primary colors and also brown tones.  I added an Eyelet Outlet Enamel Arrow to my "Count Down" to the last day of school feature.  

I hope you've been inspired to create some back to school layouts for your family!  Thanks for coming by today!

Christmas In July With Eyelet Outlet - Week 3

Welcome back to Christmas in July, friends!  I've got a couple of more tags for you today.  First up, I'm using Eyelet Outlet's brand new pony brad.  I expect to use this tag on my little granddaughter's gift this Christmas, since she LOVES horses!  I don't know yet what her gift will be, but I'm certain it won't be a pony!  LOL!  I've also used one of our Holly Brads and Snowflake Brads to dress up the corners of my tag.  

Next up, a fun tag for the gift you're giving that you're not so sure about!  I've used a recycling image from Cricut's "Chore Chart" cartridge with a few strategically placed Enamel Arrows.  Eyelet Outlet has lots of different enamel shapes in many colors.  Check them all out in our "Enamel Shapes" collection.  

I'm glad you came by today and be sure to come back next Thursday.  I'll be wrapping up my Christmas in July posts with a freebie for the Cricut crafters!  Until next week, keep crafting!
