My Friends - layout

This was another layout I did over the weekend using the E2. I love the colors in this layout and I chose the paper from the colors in the picture.

Supplies Used -
Cricut - E2; Graphically Speaking cart, Old West cart, Elegant Edges cart
Patterned paper - Basic Grey Lime Rickey
Cardstock - various
Hot fix gems
Cat Eye Chalk Ink
Janome Sew Mini
Stampin Up Markers
Eyelet Outlet - Drink eyelets
1/4" Grosgrain ribbon



Some of you might recognize BFF Karen on the right. Everyone wave and say "HI BFF KAREN!"



I used the hide contour feature on the sombrero so I could get more color in it and after I got it done I wished I had added one more layer in the turquoise blue color but I was just too lazy to go back and do it again.

I added 2mm Hot Fix gems to the sombrero to give it a little more color and it does look a little better in person than in the picture.








I welded the base of the title together and then just layered the top letter on the base *okie wonders why she even typed that since it is obvious what she did from the picture*.

I had to hand write my journaling since my printer is fried *okie is still in mourning over this predicament* and I so hate my hand writing.

The drink eyelets were actually an after thought when I completed the layout but I think they look good even if they do get a little lost on the busy patterned paper background.

  3. I like the colors and the stitching you did on this one. Which cartridge did the red shapes on the left side (in the picture) come from? They look good peeking out from behind the other paper.

  4. Linda the red strip is a border cut from Elegant Edges. I did squish it and weld a little to make it how I wanted it.
