I had a little time today to work on my granddaughter Mary-Kate's album that I am way behind in and had fun making this page. This was at a orchard that had a slide and she loved it. Her Papaw and cousin even got their time going down it. I used the cartridges Recess, Hello Kitty Font, Playground digital, and Paper Dolls for Everyday. Below the pictures are the details.

Playground digital- I cut the slide at 7.5 inches and cut two of them. I trimmed the sides off one and ran the other through a crimper and then popped up the sides I had cut.

My entry to the Cricut Circle Blog

I did this layout to enter into the Teachers Rock Challenge #58 at the Cricut Circle Blog. You were to make a project school or teacher inspired using primary colors, at least two cricut cuts and enhance with chalk. I created this layout using the Recess cartridge. I did all my chalking with Colorbox chalks of creamy brown and lime pastel. I used some Bo Bunny papers and Die cuts with a view that were in my stash along with Bazzill cardstock. The measurements of the cuts are below the pictures.
