#162 Carousel - 60th Birthday Layout

Hi everyone!  Hope you are having a great weekend!

The challenge for the month of May on the Cricut Circle Blog was to create a layout about a milestone in somebody's life.  We needed to use 2 Cricut image cuts and 2 Cricut font cuts.

The cartridges / cuts I used are:
Carousel - "60" cut at 2"
Birthday Cakes - "Happy Birthday" phrase cut at 2.25", "DAD" cut at 1.15" and welded to the phrase.
Boys will be Boys - Tractor and layers cut at 2.5"
Scalloped border - Ribbons and Rosettes cut at 1"
Background shape (behind title) - Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cut at 3.5" and 3.75"

By the way, this layout is of my father's 60th birthday when I made him a birthday cake using my Cricut Cake machine - such a fun tool!  The cake had a barn and tractor on top and different animals around the edge.

The patterned paper I chose for this layout is from the Basic Grey Obscure collection - which I've had for a loooooong time!

Hope you like it!

#156 Cars - Birthday Card

Hi everyone!  Here is a card that I made for my nephew for his 5th birthday! I created this card with the Cricut Circle Magazine challenge for the month of May in mind.  The challenge was to create a banner of some sort, either on it's own or part of a project.
The cartridges / cuts I used are:
Disney / Pixar Cars - Lightning McQueen (cut at 2.75")
Birthday Bash - Banner (cut at 1")
Birthday Cakes - Letters (cut at 0.75")
Card base (welded) - Cricut Font and Basic Shapes (cut at 4.25"), background (cut at 4")

I embossed the background of the card with a Cuttlebug folder from the Beep Beep companion set, then ran a black ink pad over the raised surface.

Hope you like it!

#108 Birthday Cakes - Circus Birthday Card
