BBQ and Smores Layout for Sweet Sassy Design Team

Hello everyone from Suzanne at Cricutcraftingrammy and thanks for joining us.  I am so happy to be here sharing on Bobbi Jo's Design Team at Sweet Sassy Diva again.   This week  we are making  a BBQ project using 3 different cartridges and bright colors.  I used Camping Out, Three Birds and Block Party.  When our family and neighbor friends BBQ in the summer we almost always make smores.  In the back of my mind I remember seeing a project in one of my scrapbook magazines that chalked the Smores letters to look like smores and to used cotton balls for the marshmellows.  So I did my best to lift this idea for my layout.  If I had been true to some of my family I would have made the marshmellows black but I like them toasty and it looks more appetizing.  I embossed the trees. the photo mats and the birds with my Cuttlebug.  I chalked the edges and used googly eyes.

Two Layouts- One for CC Weekly Challenge

The first  layout is for the weekly CC challenge. The Challenge: Include a Fairytale or Folklore figure in your project (princesses, gnomes, etc. I knew right away I wanted to get out My Community and do a layout of the Three Bears.  The bears were cut from My Community at ", 4 1'2" and 4 ".  The bowls were cut at 2 1'2, 2", and1 1'2".  Goldilocks was cut at 5 ".  I used the Gingerbread house on the same cart but turned the snow parts into straw by embossing.  The forest trees came form Campout and were also cut at 5 ".  The greenery was from Plantin Schoolbook.  I used a lot of different embossing folders  for texture and chalked the edges. Also used a bear paw stamp to frame pictures and Silver Sharpie for accents.  

This was a layout I had cut out before CHA for the CC crop.  Finally got around to gluing it together.  I also added the side strips which were done with my new 12 inch Cuttlebug folder  I used light blue glitter cordinations paper and then ran Tim Holtz purple distressed ink over the top.
