FIt to be Tied using Cricut Designers Calendar

Thursday is one day closer to the three day weekend! I like that!
So I found a few minutes to pull this single page layout together--the tie and shirt collar are from Designers Calendar.
Photobucket
I cut it in white and then cut a bit of pattern paper for the tie.
Photobucket
I made some very simple photo mats from the scraps of paper used in the cards earlier this week. I love it when you can use almost the whole sheet of paper!
Photobucket
To finish it off I had a strip of paper with ties and high gloss UV printing that I put along the bottom of the paper--this came from the DCVW man stack as well. Waist not want not!!!

This could be a great layout to showcase pictures taken of the kids with dad on Father's Day before heading off to church or the next time everyone has to get all dressed up!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

  1. This is an AWESOME mans layout!! I just love it!!! You did a fantastic job!!! I have been checking out the designers calendar for making layouts...I don't make calendars. I see a lot of images on it that can be used for layouts...and you just proved me right! I'm going to have to pick this cartridge up!
    Thank you for sharing! :)

  18. I am SOOOOOO going to scraplift this layout. I totally love it. I don't have that cart. but I'm gonna figure something out. I love, love, love it!

  19. Oh-oh! You're spoiling us with these extra posts, Bryan!!! :) Then when it's quiet, we worry about you. But thank you so much for sharing...your posts can keep me busy for a while.

    I love this layout!!! (I think you need an etsy shop!) What a great idea to make the tie so big and I love the way you only used half! Adds a lot more interest. I wonder if any of the other cartridges have a collar and tie (not that I don't want to get Designer's Calendar, it just might be a while).

    I'm going to be busy moving the next week (knowing me, it'll take a month), but I can't wait to see what you come up with next (especially with the extra day this weekend)!
