Hey there Pumpkin layout

Happy Monday!  Our BBTB2 challenge this week is an anything with a cricut cut challenge.  So if you have that partially finished orphan project, here's your chance to get it finished off and share!  My layout is for pictures from a fall festival last year.  I used several cartridges for my fall themed scene-  Artistry, County Fair, and Mickey and Friends.  Hope you all have a good week and if you are from the areas being rained on by Florence, I hope you stay safe and dry.

Cricut:
Artistry-sunflowers, hey there pumpkin
County Fair-fence, hay bales, chicken
Mickey and Friends-sun, clouds

Movie night layout

Happy Monday!  Fall is here with falling leaves and crisp, cool evenings.  What is more fun than having a movie night at home with some popcorn and apple cider?  Our BBTB2 challenge this week is movie night (or a movie themed project).  We do movie night fairly regularly around my house, bringing out the popcorn and root beer floats, so I made a layout for some movie night pics of the fam.  There's nothing better than being snuggled up on the couch in front of a roaring fire with my favorite peeps to watch something blow up (not a lot of chick flicks allowed with all my fellas around)!  I used a whole bunch of cartridges, but I love how it turned out!  I even hand-made my movie reel using circles from Plaintain Schoolbook!  Go see the projects from the design team and link up a movie project over at BBTB2 this week.

Fresh and Tasty layout (for Exploring Cricut)

Our challenge theme for Exploring Cricut this week is Down on the Farm-use a farm animal on a project.  I made a layout for pictures of a family BBQ and added in some animals to represent the food.   We had a huge feast of barbecued ribs and honey wings -it was delicious, in case you are wondering!  I used the cow and barn from Create a Critter, along with the cute postage stamp shape for the journal box.  The chicken is actually a layer from the weather vane on County Fair.  The paper is from a collection called Farm Fresh by The Paper Studio.

Music Show layout

Last summer while on vacation, we went to see a country music show in Branson with the grandparents and an aunt and uncle.  Although we are not really country music fans, the show was fantastic and the kids loved it-this was the first big live music show they've seen!  The guitar and ticket cuts are from the County Fair cartridge.  I LOVE the ticket!  The tag tucked behind a picture for journaling is from Plaintain Schoolbook (and I also tucked in one of our admission tickets).  The background shapes are from Accent Essentials.  The title font is from Birthday Bash.

Country Life layout

The Fantabulous Cricut challenge this week is "Down on the Farm" and I had some pictures that fit the theme, so I decided to play along.  We were recently at a fall festival where Son#1 was one of the musicians.  The festival is held at a park re-creation of an 1885 town.  There were barns and animals, of course, along with homesteads, saloon, blacksmith shop, etc.  I used the County Fair cartridge for most of the layout, except for the Good Times title, which is the Old West Flourish font.

Boots & Chaps

So I'm on a roll with the western theme and decided to do a few more pics from the Pony Express museum with my super cool Sasparilla cowboy paper.  The base paper has a bandanna print-how fun is that?  And the blue jeans paper!    I used County Fair for the title and Old West for the rest of the cuts.  Oh and I forgot to add, the blue jean border under the pics is from Elegant Edges.

Saddle Up layout

The BBTB2 challenge this week is a farm theme, so I immediately thought of pictures I took when we visited the Pony Express Museum in May.  Ponies=farm animal, right?  (since we haven't been around any actual farm animals, being city folk....unless crazy house cats count...lol)  I broke out my Old West and County Fair cartridges for some fun western accents.  In fact, it's possible I got a little carried away, but oh well.

The paper is SO cool-it's by October Afternoon and the collection is called Sasparilla.  Very very cute retro themed cowboy and western paper.  As soon as I saw it at Archiever's, I grabbed some for all my pictures from this museum.
