For Charlie's birthday party his parents had a whole train theme (I know you couldn't tell from the layout). I was very excited to pull out my Pop-up Neighborhood cartridge. This cart has a whole set of train cars that you can use. I was a little confused why the wheel sizes were different on some of the cars, but in the end I still love the look of my train.
I also did something on this layout that I love doing with titles (to the point I have to be careful not to do it all the time). I cut the letters out, using my Gypsy, in the correct spot on my page and than instead of gluing the letters onto another sheet I glued paper to the back of the layout to have a almost colored in effect. This is a fun look, but works bets when you do not have too many small pieces of letters to glue down on top (like the h, a & e here). This is Cricut Classic Font.
I am trying to take part if some challenges this weekend (working towards a goal) and this layout covers 2 for me.
1. The Paper Variety Week 45: CIRCLES!
Use at least 4 circles on your project: My polka dot paper and train wheels cover this.
2. Quick Quotes Blog Friday Challenge: NUMBERS!
Use a number on your project: I used 2 2's!
Check out these great challenges for some weekend inspiration. This is Quick Quotes very first challenge and it was a fun one.
Super cute layout. I really like the way you did the title. I'll have to try that.
