Fungus Layout

That sounds weird but it is really cute with bright pink and green mushroom and a little froggy.


I scraplifted this layout from Holidays with the Cricut  formaly Christmas with the Cricut.  She used papers from Jllibean and the Paisley cartridge. I loved the colors and loved the titles. I knew I had to make this layout while the iron was hot.LOL But, I can't wait to order the papers and I can't wait for a sale on the cartridge.


Sooo, I used the paper I had that most closley resembled it, which was the Sugar Plum Series by Collage Press and I went hunting online for some mushroom svg files to use with Sure-Cuts-A-Lot Program. 


I found the cutest mushrooms over at Southernbelle's SVG blog , very nice svgs over there by the way.  While cutting and pieceing the mushrooms and arrangeing them on the layout I decided I needed a frog.  


I found this prince of a frog on Yolie's blog, Just Yolie.  Lots of cute svgs over there too.  She's part of the 

SCALSocialConnection  Yahoo group,  

a great bunch of crafty (intuitve) people.  They almost have a little ESP going on over there. LOL (inside joke).  And need to thank Alicia from the group for helping me download the files.

I also used the scalop oval and flower svg file from Penny Duncan Creations, another wonderful person over at the SCAL SocialConnection Yahoo Group.  The font I used was Yikes! from Dafont.com.

I think what I like most about the layout was using Kraft paper to shadow the images.  I even tried my hand at the details on the photo mats with the ribbon tied ribbon and I used my fiskars edge punch on the other one. 

I could use some more training on shadowing letters but I am pleased with the overall layout.  But  I know one thing.......

It takes a villiage to create a layout. LOL
