BBTB2: Cricut - The Farmer Collects His Harvest

For at least 10 years my son has had a plot at the community garden in town.  Every year he improves on his crop, this year producing several heritage and specialized varieties of tomatoes, watermelon, peppers, and squash.  I went with him a few weeks ago to pick tomatoes for canning.   He also works on a farm seasonally, during planting and harvest season.  I call him my farmer.

Which leads us to our Bitten by the Bug2 challenge for the next two weeks, which is Labor Day.  I did a career layout for my daughter earlier this year and so chose my son for this occasion.  Our challenge is pretty broad in scope, you can link up your card or project HERE and see what out designers have created.

Cartridges Used:

Paddington Regular Font

Watermelon:  Simply Charmed

Truck:  Heritage

Veggies: Country Life

Pumpkin: Happily Ever After

Sign on Truck: Freshly Picked

Miscellaneous die cut, punched leaves and sparkles

Life as a Princess

Welcome to 2015!   It's a new year, and I am looking forward to working on projects around the house, some travel, and enjoying the grandkids. 

This week on BBTB2, our hostess, Melanie, at Courtney Lane Designs, has given us free reign and asked us to make something with our "all time favorite Cricut cut".  Well, that's almost impossible for me, there are just too many great cuts and cartridges to choose from.   I am going to say that ONE of my favorite cuts is anything related to Disney.   Today, I made a layout of my granddaughter on Christmas morning in her new Elsa dress.  Since I don't have the new Frozen digital cartridge, I went to Happily Ever After and cut out Aurora in blues at 6".  Using my new Explore, I found several different snowflakes and a snowflake tag on the free subscription, and cut and glittered them.   Using the The First Few Years cartridge for the first time, I cut the frame and words.  The bottom trim is a sticker.

Hopefully part of your plans for 2015 include more crafting.  Start this week by linking up your "favorite Cricut Cut" to our BBTB2 blog.
