MCCR Theme Day Thursday

Good day everyone, this is my design team post for Theme Day Thursday  at My Cricut Craft Room. Today's theme is Golf.  Since I do not golf, as does neither of any of my family, I have no pictures for the layout, but I thought I would do a layout anyways.

I used  4 cartridges in making the layout today, Fancy Frames, Wrap it up, Paper Doll Dress Up and Stretch your imagination.   The palm tree was from Stretch your Imagination and was cut at 7". The black frame cut was at fit to page,  and the orange frame at 5 1/2  as well as the background white frame.

I then cut out the golf clubs using the Wrap It Up cartridge, one was cut at 4" and the other at 3".

the frame here was the negative cut from the center frame...waste not, want not:)  I then cut the grass from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge, in the back of the book.

I had some white circles punched out with my EK Success Brands 2" circle punch, then ran them through my Cuttlebug in the polka dot folder,to give the balls a dimpled look like golf balls do. Then I had some letter tiles, that I glued on the top of the golf balls that spelled out golf.

Other supplies used in making today's project are:
  Close To My Heart paper, Dotty For You
  Color Bok papers
  Teresa Collins", Carolina Breeze
  Black Checkered ribbon, from stash
  gems from Bo Bunny
  Green Stickles
  ATG gun
  Zig Pen
  Tim Holtz walnut distress ink
  Martha Stewart border punch,not sure of name, it is loopy:)
  Pop dots to raise the grass, which I cut 2 of and made a sandwich with the dots
 
I hope you like the project today....

Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craft Room

     It is Theme day Thursday at My Cricut craft Room and my design team project for today's theme.."Sleepover"  is a scrapbook layout.  I do not typically do many layouts, I usually make cards, but I have to tell you I am having a  lot of fun making these pages.  The cartridges I chose to make today's layout is Happily Ever After and Art Philosophy.  There are a lot of cute cuts on  Happily Ever After cartridge...Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, ( my all time favorite cartoon)  and Snow White.  Sooooo, who do you think of when you think of Snow white???  The seven dwarfs, and of course Sleepy:)

   
      I found a page from a stack of Momenta's Celebrations and Occasions.  The page had blues and greens and purples, as well as the verses of Twinkle   Twinkle, little star. I cut the picture mats at 5", 4 3/4" and 4 1/2 " in Colonial white Purple and Indian Corn Blue.  The shape is from the Art Philosophy cartridge on page 37.  I also cut the 3D roses from this cartridge, at 2 1/2 inches in yellow and purple, as well as the stars@ 1 and 3/4 and 1 and 1/2 inches and the letters..for sleep over at 1 1/4.

     The white flower with the purple layer and the rose in the center, I do not know which cartridge it is from, sorry to say.  I had cut a bunch of them out a while ago to have some ahead, and I looked through the cartridges today and can not find where I got it:((

     Next i started the fun little guy, Sleepy on page 65.  There were quite a few little pieces to him, but I cut him at 4 1/4 inches and the pieces were not  too bad at all to handle:)   After I put him all together with my Zig pen, I added a little pink chalk to his cheeks to make them rosey.  Then I cut the lantern  out from page  64 at 5 " and layered with 2 shades of yellow Bazzill card stock.

      Down each side of the layout I made a strip, one at 2 1/4 inches and the other at 1 inch  of another paper from the stack with stripes and used the ATG to put the stars on them.  to finish it off I put a couple of buttons on the bottom left, and Voila!!

     I hope you like my post today, I know I had fun making it:))  Now you will want to head over to Erica's blog at My Cricut Craft Room at this link  http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/  to see more projects from the Design Team like this:)  Have a great Crafty day.
        P.S.   Today is my 32nd wedding anniversary!!!!!!!!!  woohoo
