Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge - The Year in Review

The Challenge is to create a project to represent something or a number of things you want to remember about 2011.  We have had this outdoor cat haning around for a couple of years and he passed away this past summer... I have this cute little picture of him and wanted to create something to remember him by.

Cricut Circle #50 Weekly Challenge - Under the Weather

I know it has been a while since I posted so I thought maybe I would try a little project... This is for the Weekly Challenge on the Cricut Circle Blog.  The Challenge is to create something with the theme Under the Weather... so I decied to create a little flower pot with flower to give someone who was not feeling well... CAN YOU BELIEVE I created the flower pot and flowers with ontly 2 12x 12 white sheets of Cardstock!!!  Yup... I used my Cricut Imagine!   

I used the Imagine Cartridge Mr. Frosty to create the patterned paper for the shapes.  I just filled the shapes on my Cricut Imagine with the patterned paper choices and cut them all the size I wanted.  No waisting of Patterned Paper! 

The Flower pot was created with the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut Cartridge... I cut out a popcorn box!

The Flowers are created by layering 3 different shapes of flowers from the Accent Essentials cricucut cartridge.  I filled them with 3 different patterned papers and one solid pattern from the Mr. Frosty Cricut Imagine Cartridge.
