I have the cutest layout to share with you and it was made exclusively with the PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK cartridge. I've featured several projects this week with this cartridge and hope that you are inspired to use it more!
This layout is about our family pet... Kelly Girl. She is a golden retriever who is now 14 yrs old. These photos are from May 2009 (yes... I am still working on 2009! lol!). The handsome young man with her is my Army son, Patch. He LOVES this dog... she helped raise him and his brother & sister. And she LOVES him. I used a paper pack from MY MIND'S EYE called "Where the Heart Is" by Zoe Peam. Got it at Hobby Lobby. I'm telling you, "My Mind's Eye" is fast becoming a favorite of mine!
The tag is from PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK... I used the Roly Poly feature to get a fatter tag. I used my gypsy and welded the Roly Poly font for KellyGirl. I also used ribbon, flowers, buttons and rhinestones to add a little 3D embellishment.
The sun in the background was cut at 10" and is the starburst image on the PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK. I used the PS's Roly Poly font again for my date.
Ever need a thought bubble or blurb? PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK has 5 different ones! Here is one... just perfect for my photo.
The scallops are also PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK... I welded two together to stretch it out to 12", but this is the Roly Poly scallop (it has fatter humps), and cut it out at 2" tall. My favorite is the grass behind the scallops... there are EIGHT different landscapes on PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK... did you know that? Three of them are grass... 1) fatter blades of grass, 2) grass with flowers coming out of it and this one, 3) tall skinny grass (ITALICS).... which I cut three pieces at 3" in height and pieced them together. No you don't have to have a gypsy to weld... a glue stick works too! LOL!
Can you say, "Awww"? She loves to swim in the lake and Patch loves to take her. Of course, she has to go to the groomers right after because of all that hair... but it's worth it! Hope you like my layout done exclusively with PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK. I have 120 cricut cartridges and sometimes it can be overwelming selecting what cartridges and what images to use... I totally enjoyed limiting myself to just this one and am totally happy with how it came out! I challenge you to do the same!
Today was my FAB FRIDAY TV post over at the CUTTLEBUG CHALLENGE blog... I have a video showing how I used my Copic Markers to customize my paper for a cute little baby gift. Click HERE to see the post!

Thanks for showing a lot of possible ways to use Plantin! I rarely use this, but I think after all your great ideas, it will be utilized much more often :)
STILL working on 2009? I'm in 1977!!! Ha Ha!
what a cute layout! I recently used Plantin Schoolbook to make some signs. It has a bunch of great stuff on it and people tend to forget about it. I'm a little attached to it since it was my very first cartridge. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Oh and don't worry about working on 2009, I'm still on 2008
I love your pages with your Golden. I have a Golden too and she is the center of our family now.
Its a good thing I have this cart because after the last couple of days of you showing us all the wonderful things to do with it I would need to rush out and buy it! Thanks for sharing.
Great LO Tammy and what wonderful pictures! I love Plantin Schoolbook! It is one of my favorite cartridges to use!
Love this! Plantin is one of my favorites--in fact I didm'y rest until I found it on Ebay!! Thanks for showing so many ways to use the extras! Kathie

You really have inspired me to use this cart more! Thanks,
Janine

Hi Tammy, this is a great page! I love that cartridge. It has a little bit of everything. I love the paper you used. I have books I started in the 90's from the 80"s that I haven't finished.

What a fantastic layout! Love it!!! :)
Great layout! I can't wait to make the tag project from a couple days ago!
Wow! I knew I loved Plantin but there is more on it than I realized!
Thanks as always for sharing

I love to use Plantin, too! And I also have this paper pack and absolutely love it! It has just enough glitter, but not too much. Love your Kelly Girl layout! Our fur babies are part of our family, too.! TFS.
Kathryn
fabulous LO!! so glad you used PS cart..sometimes we forget about the older carts and all that they have on them....
Great great LO ... and what a lovely dog :)
Beautiful layout, it's amazing what you find on one cart when you restrict yourself.

Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful ideas for the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. It is one of the few that I have and it makes me look at it with new eyes.
Love your layout! Thanks for sharing.

I say you with Robyn and talked about all your cartridges. I have 27 and sometimes I feel overwhelmed. I also wondered if I shouldn't limit myself for a week or two for each cartridge. You have given my inspiration. Beautiful dog and nice family. jsj111@cox.net
Oh so cute. Goldens are the best, and poodles too. I love the layout, and only using one cart is such a great idea. Thanks.

I deeply appreciate you working so thoroughly with one cartridge. I swometimes forget all the wonderful options available on all the carts. TFS
I had no idea I had such a treasure right on my shelf. Plantin SchoolBook is certainly going to be pulled out more often now that I know how much is on it. Thank you for the information.
Awesome LO Tammy!!!!!! I love the cuts, and the paper is so cute!
Thank you for all your inspiration, and you do!!!
*hugs*

Great layout - I need to use that cartridge more - thanks!!!

Thank you so much for focusing on Plantin this week. I now have so many more ideas for using it, wasn't one of my favorites before. Such a cute layout!
Cool ideas for layer upon layer~very creative. I 2 grand-puppies who would love to be scrapped in layouts like this!
Tammy..it's a beautiful layout! I also love MME! It's one of my favorites...I have a bunch of the old stuff they first came out with and have trouble parting with it..:) So Sad..I know..:) Thanks for the inspiration! (scrapper1969)
Wow. This is a beautiful layout. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas.
Tammy, I love your LO. Aren't Goldens the best!? Thanks for exploring an older cartridge and sharing your ideas. I only have about a third of what you have and often feel overwhelmed. Maybe I'll pick one a week and use only that one (excluding fonts) and see what I can make with it. Thanks again for all your inspirations and give Kelly Girl a hug from a fan.
Tammy,
Thank you so much for all the projects you did this week using plantin. I always think of it as just a basic cartridge but you really hightlighted well just how versatile it is. I only have about 20 cart but it can still be overwhelming as to which one to pick. I have to pay more attention to the plantin next time I'm searching!
What do I love most about this LO? Kelly Girl of course (Plantin Schoolbook is only third, 'cause Patch is second) - great LO and TFS!!

So cute! Thanks for reminding just what I CAN do with Plantin... its been collecting dust for a loong time!
This is so pretty. Thanks for using Plantin...something I've had for a while but hardly use. You've encouraged me.
Congrats, Tammy! Have lots of fun on your Cricut Retreat...wish I could be there, but Canada is a little too far away!

You have a beautiful furry family member. Beautiful Lo too!
