Fun Fall Placemats

Cookingwithcricut challenge #4 is The colors of fall so I decided to make some cute placemats for my table. These were so much fun to make and added some zip to my boring table! Fantabulous cricut challenge #35 is to use the color green and a circle on your project, so I am linking this project there also.

Happy Haunting

This layout is for the 10/29 sketch challenge over at stuckonusketches. Every year we usually go to this one haunted house that has a different theme each year. This year was "The Death Academy" and they handed out these cute "Class Schedules" that I included in my layout. I got a kick out of my daughters dressing as a doctor with a short blond wig and the other a nurse.
Cricut: Plantin for the circle frame
Cuttlebug: swiss dot folder on circle frame; tiny mosaic on rosette centers
Martha Stewart: crackle border on background mat; cornice border on rosettes
Glimmer mist: orange on class schedule and the smaller rosette
computer generated "Happy Haunting"
