CWC Taste of Summer Hop

Welcome to the CWC Taste of Summer Hop!  If you have arrived here from Court at Courts Craft Corner then you are in the right place. If you'd like to hop all the way through and want to start at the beginning, you can go back to Melin at Cooking with Cricut.
For this hop we were challenged with creating a project using some sort of food or drink that is a favorite of ours during the summer.  Well, when I think of this summer I think of all sorts of food but most of all I think of watermelon!  My kids have been obsessed with it since the summer began and I thought I'd make a layout with water melon being the theme.
For the background yellow page and the page with the clouds, flowers, and frames I used the Imagine Enjoy the Seasons cartridge.  I printed the blue part out twice so that I could pop up the flowers and the clouds. I love this layout included with the cartridge, It made it so easy for me! I then printed out the watermelon using the Cricut Designers Calendar cartridge and paper from Enjoy the Seasons.  The tile was used using different fonts I have loaded on my gypsy from Printing Press, Storybook, Gypsy font, and Sweethearts.

 Here's where I popped out the cloud

 I also popped up the flowers

Cooking with Cricut Challenge #77 St. Patty's Day or Rainbow Theme

Happy Spring everyone!  Welcome to my first post with Cooking with Cricut!  It's going to be almost 80 here in Chicagoland which is unheard of around here for March.  We have signs of spring already everywhere.  I'm planning to take the kids to do something fun today so we don't miss any of this beautiful day!
Anyway, onto my challenge post.  The challenge this week is to do something St. Patrick's Day related or rainbow related.   Here is my project:

I chose to do a layout that is centered on this rainbow from Create a Critter.  I used a star embossing folder to get the stars on the heart.

 My title was printed from Gypsy Font and Birthday Bash.  The banner is from Birthday Bash as well with black twine from the Twinery.

 Here is the first page.  The shape to the right of the photo frame is from Storybook and the cloud paper is from the Imagine Hopscotch cartridge.

 Here's the second page, the pot is from Paper Doll Dress Up.

 Here is the layout together.  I love the bright colors and the cloud background.

I created this layout based on the sketch from gotsketch that I found on Pinterest.
