Last weekend I was on a retreat with 39 other croppers, and I noticed that the majority of us have fallen into what I call the cricut trap. It's so easy just to cut things out on our cricut and glue the pieces together that we forget the rest of our stash and go cricut! Now I am not saying I never use my cricut, because I do.
This week I am doing a scraplift challenge from a group on cafe mom. The challenge was to scraplift four elements from a very cute single page layout that included one of those cool in-style trees. The hostess required us to use the embellished tree as one of the elements we use. This inspired me to mix and match a portion of a cricut shape with my own stash, and voila I scored a 900 point page!
I used the tree from the Art Philosophy Close to my Heart cartridge, just the trunk portion. Then cut shapes from magic mesh to create the leaves, added colored vellum punched leaves and brad leaves, topping it off with tiny buttons. I love this mixed look and it really made the page! So go on use your cricut.... but don't forget to add the points from your stash and really make it pop!
