Road Trip Layout

Good morning everyone!

Here is my project for this week's FCCB Challenge. Our challenge was to create a project with a "Road Trip" theme. Here is a view of my entire layout.

Here is a closeup of the title I created.

The letters ROAD and TRIP are from Hello Kitty Cartridge

The Arrow and Hwy sign are from Summer Vacation Cartridge

The Caution Cone was from the CARS Cartridge.

I created the arrow-road and the Rest Area Word Art Sign.

Here is the cutie patootie bears. I created them, the steering wheel and the coffee cup :-) These are files that can be cut with your Cricut in conjunction with SCAL or MTC software. If you need to know more about this, I have a FAQ's page HERE

Here is a closeup of the car and the gas pump. They both came from the Summer Vacation Cartridge.

NOW, HERE is MY Version of this fun layout!

Here is a closeup of the road trip border. I designed all the files to create this version of the border.

Of course here is the same set of cutie patootie bears.

Happy Birthday Puppies Cricut Layout

Good day crafters!
Here is a layout I made for a challenge. The challenge was to use the colors: Brown, Red and Blue and to use the Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge. The only things that aren't from SYI cartridge are the lettering (those are from the Hello Kitty Font Cartridge) and the Happy Title Digi Stamp I created.

ALL die cuts came from Stretch Your Imagination!

INCLUDING THE PUPPY DOGS! That's RIGHT! We were told to Stretch Our Imaginations....
So in true Paper Piecing Fasion.....I DID!

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a closeup of the puppy on the left. I used my Pebbles, Inc. Dry Decorator Chalks to chalk the edges of my die cuts. For a tutorial on how I create my die cut faces, CLICK HERE

Here is the cake. I chalked it, embossed it and added a little glitz with my Stickles.

Here is the puppy dog topper. Even his hat is from SYI. You can see that I used my White Gel Pen as well as my chalks to give all my die cuts dimension. Of course, I had to add some touches of glitter too.

Here is an angled view to show the dimension on the page.

Here is the puppy dog on the right.

I almost forgot to mention....The Dogs are STRAIGHT CRICUT CARTRIDGE ONLY!

NO Design Studio

NO SVG FILES or third party software

NO Gypsy

I think it's obvious where the colors brown, blue and red are (as well as every other color in the rainbow...lol).  Well I guess that's it for today! Hope you have a wonderfully creative weekend!

Thank you for sharing your crafty time with me!
