Lasting Memories Challenge- How Do You Layer?

The challenge this week at Lasting Memories is "How Do You Layer?"- do you layer paper, ribbons, flowers, cuts?  I made this Happy Bearday layout for some of my middle granddaughter's birthday pictures.  The banner was cut from the Cricut Cart Birthday Bash at 3 inches  and then I printed the letters at 1.5 inches with the Imagine cart Hopscotch. I layered the letters on to the banner cuts. I used Twine to hang the banner from.  

The bear is a cutting file from Melin at Paper Crafting World. If you haven't seen these awesome files and digis please check them out.   This is an SVG file that you can cut with SCAL.   The design is split into pieces on the computer screen and you cut all the pieces and then "layer" them together.  I really like the dimension this gives to the cuts.  You can also pop dot cuts which gives them even greater depth.  I also use layer by making mats and I also added punch gifts and cupcakes to the corners.  

The prize this week for one lucky winner this week at Lasting Memories  is a $10 gift certificate to 

Here is the sketch for this week.  Remember you do not have to use the sketch.  It is just to give you ideas.  The challenge is to use layers this week.  

Have a great crafty week and hope to see your projects this week at Lasting Memories.
