Chirp Chirp Chirp for Cosmo Cricket

My first introduction to Cosmo Cricket was actually via the Comstock Line of WRMM. Yes, the Comstock line, does that name sound familiar? :) I grabbed every sheet my LSS had to offer!

Then the lacing chipboard came into my life. I made a little house with it.

Now my love for Cosmo Cricket is full blown.


  • Black board album is totally genius! I don't have to paint the edges of my album beforehand! It saves me time. It looks elegant. Best of all, it makes making a mini-album easier!

  • Stickers... I *heart* stickers, and Cosmo Cricket offer such a full range of them. I am all about indulging my childhood fancy.

  • Rubons... again, full range of them. Again, indulging my childhood self.

  • Ready-Set-Chip, what a brilliant idea and wonderful product. The only problem for me is that it is sold out everywhere!

  • Versatility is the name of the game. While the collections are themed with ample themed products to go with it, Cosmo makes it easy to think outside of the themed-box, or stay in it if you so wish.
All that is to say, I'm giving it a try, after all, nothing has ever been accomplished by not trying.

Early Bird
Some use this line for their inner or actual domestic goddesses, I use it to sing praise of my glorious man :)


Lil' Man
There is nothing little about this wonderful man who is now Home with the Lord. This photo is circa 1960. My FIL knows how much I love family heritage photos, he sent me a digital scan of this photo. This layout talks about him telling me the "Pete and Repeat in the car" joke at Thanksgiving dinner 1999.


Jack's World
It may be Jack's World, but it's N&A's universe!! Here you see what I mean by blackboard album make it easy to put a mini together. Jack's World's colors are nothing short of AMAZING. They are so incredibly rich and deep. They define the word "childhood" in my opinion.














Snorkel

I do have a water layout using the Snorkel line, and you can see it here.

I also have a Halloween layout using this line, but you will have to wait for the last issue of Memory Makers Magazine to see it.



Mr. Campy

When this line first came out, I wished that I hadn't scrapped my Canadian Rocky's trip already! I do have a few more pictures from that trip that need scrapping yet, and here is one:




Girl Friday

Need I say more? Girl, TGIF!!

By the time I made this card, I had run out of all the GF ribbons!


I do have the pleasure of using this Jasmine Tea tin every day.





With Scrapbook Obsessions April kit, I made this little Maya Road mini. See my excessive ribbon use here? lol.



The good ol' days are gone, now there is more fighting than hand-holding...



Cogsmo

Look how easy it is to use the Cosmo's Journaling cards to create a quick mini-album. This whole thing took less than an hour, and it is a mini-album, birthday card in one for DH.








So thank you for staying with me. I hope I've shown you what I can do with the Cosmo products. No matter what happens, I will always remain a huge Cosmo Cricket fan and loyal consumer!
