Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #53

Hi everyone!  The Fantabulous Cricut Challenge theme this week is Looks Like Spring.  Make a project with a spring theme.  This week, I decided to alter a mini clipboard.  I covered the front and back with paper (the back is plain green).  Then I used Cricut cuts to decorate and added a blue mat for a picture later.  My daughter wants to steal it from me, but I had planned to put it in my office.  She'll probaly end up with it though :)

 

Here are the details:

• Bird (cut at 1 1/2 inches) and nest (cut at 2 inches) from Straight from the Nest cartridge
• Tree (cut at 3 1/2 inches) and flowers/butterfly (cut at 1 inch) from April Showers
• Cuttlebug 5 x 7 Polka Dot Folder
• American Crafts City Park Pattern Paper
• Helmar Quick Dry Glue
• Helmar Scrap Dots
• Stickles
• Peapod Twine from The Twinery
• Blue and white ribbon
• Signo White pen

I used the Helmar Quick Dry glue to glue down the paper, then the twine around the outside of the clipboard.  Then I cut the legs off the bird and used the Helmar Scrap dots to pop up the bird in the nest and also the tree and butterfly.

This was a fun project and something different for a change :)  Make sure to visit the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog  to see all the designers wonderful projects.  And make sure to play along with us!!
