This first project is a layout I made using some of the fantastic word art that is included on this cartridge. To me it is one of the bright spots of the cartridge! It makes making titles for your scrapbook layouts a snap!
The title was cut out at 4" and then layered on the it's shadow. I used CTMH paper and cardstock. Also, the little rain boots are a CTMH stamp.

the clouds were cut from an old SU! paper line. The sun is a CTMH stamp.
Another awesome thing about this cartridge is the tag feature! I just love it. There are so many wonderful layered shapes and they make fantastic journaling tags. This one was cut at 3 1/4".
The next project I have for you today is this VERY feminine card. When I saw that flower I just knew it would be one of the first things I cut.

The flower was cut at 2". I also cut another tag from the cartridge at 3 1/4" which I used as my focal point.

The paper is an older K and Company line. The sentiment stamp is Verve and the flourish stamp is CTMH.

What a great way of using this cartridge. Not only for little girls, but every girl in the world!
Love the LO and the card especially. I , like you, don't have a little girl to scrapbook for. Hmmmm...... you might be swaying me towards this cart. TFS!
I loved the different ideas that weren't quite so girly. I like cartridges that are flexible!
Wow, I love your layout. Thanks for a chance to win a cartridge.
I love that layout. With only one girl out of the five(and she's about to graduate), it's hard for me to buy any carts to girly but you showed me to look past the pink.
The layout is very cute. I love the card...will definitely scraplift this one! Thanks.
I love those little rain boots. And the fact that you made a non-girly page from this cart...who knew?!?:)

Thanks for showing something that would work for a little boy!!! Love it!! Thanks also for giving the opportunity to win Sweet Treats cartridge! I have been wanting that one since it came our, but dear hubby has been laid off for awhile and we can't spend any $$$'s on anything but food and necessities. I'm not sure, but I really do think (IMHO, anyway) that Cricut cartridges are a necessity, don't you?????
