Sun-filled day

Today's theme for My Cricut Craft Room is Fun in the Sun. The team was challenged to use a Sun image. My sis is starting to get into Project Life and well we get into trouble together so I am wetting my toes with this project life page. I like the flexibility that PL gives but I also enjoy the "old style" of creating layouts with my Cricut. I plan on using a little of both styles.

 

This is what the card looked like before the sun/sand dollar image

Here you can see how I used little journaling papers from the kit to mat the pics on

Create a Critter Cartridge - Sun cut at 2.66 x 2.41
