This is Jen from 3 Cats and a Bug! This week at SweetSaddyDiva's the design team is doing anything that uses 3 or more Cricut cartridges. I went with the "or more" part and used 5 cartridges.
For Easter, my daughter bought my Grandson the cutest lil outfit! The shirt says "Chicks dig me" and he was so adorable in it. I had to buy him a huge bunny for Easter since he's too little for an Easter basket. So, on to my layout.
I cut out two different chicks, one from Easter 2010, cut @ 3 and one from A Child's Year, cut @ 4. I embossed the chick from ACY and debossed the other one and then colored it in.
I cut the bunny from Easter 2010, cut @ 6 and embossed that one also.
I added stickles to his ear, white enamel accents on his tail and black enamel accents for his eye.
Also from the Easter 2010 cartridge I cut out two eggs, cut @ 2.5. I added stickles, gems and used my viva decor pen to decorate them.
I cut the words "Dig Me" from Cindy Loo, cut at 3.5. I embossed the D and M, added stickles and a gem to decorate them. I also cut out a bow for the chick, cut @ 1 from Easter 2010 and added a matching gem to that.
I cut out the word Chicks from Straight From The Next, cut @ 3.5. I embossed the heart and used my white gel pen to decorate the letter.
For the grass I used MS Birthday Cakes Cartridge. I welded two pieces together, each cut @ 2 twice for both layers. I only wanted each piece to go 12 inches.
On the light green grass I used my thumb nails to curl up the tips. When I glued the two pieces together, I just ran a strip of glue on the bottom half so that the grass would still stick up. I did it the same way when I glued it to my background paper.
