You Are My Sunshine Cricut Paper Piecing Layout

Good morning crafty friends,

I hope you are all doing well. It has been hot and rainy in our neck of the woods this week. As most of you know, I have changed the format of my blog and now have a handful of designers who will be sharing projects with you through out the week. One of the opportunities this change will bring, is the chance for us to share projects that include techniques and or out of the box ideas.

A few weeks ago we showcased the Country Life cartridge. One of the projects that I started working on but never completed is today’s project. So here it is.

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a view of the left page.

Here is a view of the right page.

I used my Chestnut Roan for inking the bear and them my Chalks for his face and watering can.

Close up of the sun and title. I used my chalks for the sun and my warm green cat's eye for the grass mounds.

Close up of the banner title.

Close up of the super cute little flowers. I used my Versa Marker Pen, Warm Green,
Tangerine Inks and my Dry Chalks to add some color and dimension to these

One last look at the layout.

All of these cuts are from the Country Life cartridge. I love to challenge myself and create paper piecings from the cricut. You can visit my Cricut paper piecings page HERE.

I do plan to make a little pattern book detailing the “HOW-TO” and patterns for making these.  Again, for this layout all you need is the Country Life Cartridge and the Cricut Expression to recreate this. Of course you will need your consumables too…(Paper, Ribbon, Embellishments, etc.).
