All Aboard layout

It's my day for the daily project at Exploring Cricut!  So who's up for a train layout?  Boys and a fascination for trains seem to go together-when my guys were little, they were all obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine.  I never left the house without at least a few engines for emergency entertainment in my purse.  Even as big guys they still like trains, so when we saw the spectacular train layout while at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry last summer they were mesmerized.  We must have spent 30 minutes looking at it.  (It has an enormous model railroad that "runs" from the city of Chicago to Seattle, complete with all the skyscrapers.)

I'm finally getting around to making a layout for those pictures.  I used the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge for the title and train and the My World cartridge for the railroad signs.  The fun and colorful paper and stickers are from the Echo Park Scoot collection, which I have been hoarding for just this layout!  The bright colors just make me happy.

Cricut:
Boys Will Be Boys-title cut at 3 inches, train cut at 2 1/2 inches
My World-railroad signs cut at 1 1/2 and 2 inches
Paper-Echo Park Scoot collection prints and stickers, CTMH solids
brown chalk ink

Hope you enjoyed the railroad moment here and check out Exploring Cricut every day for a new project!

Disney layout-The Liberty Inn (for BBTB2)

Well, I have returned from a few warm fabulous sunny days (which have been in short supply here in KC) in Florida seeing Universal Studios and DisneyWorld, so what better than a Disney themed layout?  As President's Day is this week, our challenge at BBTB2 is to make something with a patriotic theme.  I don't have any patriotic pictures waiting to be scrapped, but I did have some from our Disney trip last year that need presidential accents!  I made a layout for some pictures taken at the very patriotic themed Liberty Inn in the United States area of Epcott.  While we were eating lunch, a Colonial era band came marching through the eating area playing patriotic tunes on the fife and drums! (One of those totally random Disney magic moments.)  The silhouettes of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are from the My World cartridge, along with the constitution scroll cuts.

Cricut:
Plaintain Schoolbook-circles, fonts
My World-presidents, scrolls

I hope you'll join our challenge and can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Egyptian Mummy

This layout uses the My World cart, which has all kinds of cool historical and travel type images.  My kids have actually used it a lot for school projects, as there a number of images of famous historical figures on it, like Lewis and Clark, for example.  My layout contains pictures we took at a museum exhibit of an Eygptian mummy (my kids were VERY intrigued by this).   The font is Plaintain Schoolbook, but all other cuts are from My World.
