#157 Ribbons and Rosettes - Wise Guy Layout

Hi everyone!   I created a layout for a National Scrapbooking Day challenge on the Cricut Circle Blog.  The challenge was a "recipe" challenge where we had to create a project using:
At least 3 Cricut image cuts
3 patterned papers
A butterfly, bird or bug
Machine, pen or hand-stitching
The colour yellow

Here is my entry:

The cartridges / cuts I used are:
Boys will be Boys - "Wise Guy" (cut at 2.5")
Hoot N Holler - Owl on branch (cut at 4"), Branch (cut at 2.5")
Ribbons and Rosettes - Notebook border (cut at 1")
Paper Trimmings - Sun (cut at 3.75")

The patterned paper is by Crate Paper.
I added some pen stitching zig zags along the orange cardstock.

Hope you like it!

For my project today, I have created a birthday card for my son to give to a little girl in his Preschool class, who is having a birthday party today!

For the shape of my card, I used an image from the Paper Trimmings cartridge cut at 6". I welded two of the background images together to create the card, then added the full layered image over top.

The bunny with the balloon and the "It's Your Birthday" images are from Just a Note, one of the cartridges that came built into my Anniversary edition Expression 2 machine. The bunny was cut at 3.5" and the sentiment at 1.75".
