BBTB2: Panda Love

I made this layout and put it in a 12x12 frame as a one year old birthday present.  It is really one of my favorite layouts.  I love the bold, yet masculine looking colors and how the cuts tied into the pictures.  I had a vision of what I wanted for a few months, so the design and assembly went together pretty fast - it usually takes me longer.

Our challenge at Bitten by the Bug2 this week is "HEARTS", we are still celebrating Valentines Day and Love.  Join our challenge and link up a project to the BBTB2 blog HERE.  You can use Flicker, your blog, or Pinterest to do the link-up.

My cartridges used are:
Panda - Pagoda
LOVE - Winter Woodland
Hearts - Basic Shapes
Grass - Disney's Mickey and Friends
Font:  AR Hermann (I think that is a system font)

Apple Blossoms

Can you believe my apple tree bloomed in the beginning of February.  By the end of February, most of the blossoms were done.  No wonder my apples are ready to pick in July!   I just loved the look of the blossoms and took a few pictures. 

The pictures are the perfect compliment to our BBTB2 challenge this week, hosted by Michelle, which is to use a Cricut flower on your project, card, or layout.   My flowers are not fancy at all, and I only use the one dimensional ones because they go into a book. Branch from Pagoda, words from Art Nouveau and overlay from Artbooking.  Go on over to BBTB2 and submit your flower project and see what creativeness my co-hostesses have come up with.

Catch of the Day - Andre and Kenneth catch the big ones

I used the Pagoda, Plantin Schoolbook, and Campout Cricut Cartridges to make this page. I really like the colors. I was tired of the same old campout style layouts and got this idea in my head to make it fancy. Turned out well. Stickles on the fish and pole. One of my favorites.

Pagoda Dragon card

This is a very masculine card I created for my nephew. Used the Pagoda cricut cart for the dragon. Wanted a "dark" look to this card, so roughly inked in black on the red and white paper. smudged (ok it was an accident) the silver dots, it looks really cool. If I had the time, I would have added silver brads. The white paper is textured and very appropriate for this card.
