It's a new challenge at Exploring Cricut!

We have a new challenge at Exploring Cricut and we would love for you to join us! The challenge is to create a card, layout, or papercraft using a Turkey image from any Cricut cartridge in any color or theme! I created a 2 page layout using the Thanksgiving cartridge. I cut the title at 4 inches, turkey at 4.5 inches and the leaves at 1.5 and 2.25 inches. I used bazzill cardstock and a piece of paper from my stash. Let us see your creations and a chance to win a prize!
