Can a layout be out of this world? I had so much fun making this layout for the BBTB2 this week! Our DT sister Julie's challenge for us: use a cricut moon and/or stars on a project. I was pumped about this, becausewhile on vacation in Chicago last month, we went to the planetarium, so I made a layout for my planetarium pics. Here it is:
I found the perfect title on the Nifty Fifties cartridge, of all places (for both the font and the Out of this World title)! Here's how I found it-I used My Cut search (http://www.mycutsearch.com/). For those of you who have never heard of it, My Cut Search is a free website that has a library of all the cricut cuts with a search function (it was made by a cricut user who has a programmer spouse). You type in what you are looking for and you can see all the possible options from all the cartridges. I use it to help me when I want to cut an image that I know is on many cartridges. In this case, I was searching for rockets when I found my title. I picked the stars from Plaintain Schoolbook and a moon from Create A Critter when I searched moon and stars.
Edited to add: I don't have a gypsy, but for those that do, I'm told there is a search feature on it that will do the same thing. Thanks Jaren!

I always use the search feature on my gypsy. It's amazing what cuts I have that I didn't even know! Cute layout!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing layout Michelle! I love the papers you used! You picked the most perfect title and moon and stars! I love "my cut search" too and the Gypsy does have a search feature but it doesn't work that well. I bet your pics will look amazing on this layout! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a perfect layout for the Planetarium. I love your rocket, moon and stars. I have used "My cut search" a lot too, very helpful for finding images!!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout! Love the rocket, moon and stars!! :)
