At the car wash


Today's layout was super fun to create!!!  It started with the challenge posted over at Allsorts earlier.  It said to let a song title inspire your layout.  Well I've had the song "At the Car Wash" stuck in my head all afternoon since my daughter has taken to watching Shark Tale on a loop.  So I dug these pics out of my kiddos washing my car this summer and went to town.  

As some of you might now, I am a newbie to my cricut.  I just got it for Christmas and now I'm wondering why I was a hold out for so long!?!  I love it, but still struggle to find uses for it beyond fonts.  Well mostly because I never remember I have it until I'm in the title phase!  In an effort to incorporate it more, I started following this super fantastic challenge blog called Fantabulous Cricut.  This week's challenge is 'End of Summer' and we were to incorporate cricut cuts that were summery.  From my Luau cart I cut most of my cluster.  The surfboard, the wave, even the two palm leaves.  :)  

Finally the biggest inspiration came from where I stuck all my pieces down on this fun layout.  My sketch!?!?!  I nabbed it over at Let's Get Sketchy and it is a good one.  You know I'm a sucker for circle elements!!  :) :) So click on over and play along with some of these fun challenges before it's too late.  :)
