Cuba Summer Vacation Layout

Here's a layout with some pictures from my recent vacation in Cuba.  I made some pinwheels for the first time and they are actually so easy to make!  I put a brad in the centre of most, and one has a button in the middle.  The title 'Vacation' is cut from the Summer Vacation Cricut cartridge.  I 'stitched' around the title with a white pen.  The quote "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page" is one of my favourite quotes and it is from a Creative Memories travel quotes package.  I'm entering this layout in the Cricut Circle Canadian online swarm for the 1st challenge!

Cricut Circle Blog Monthly Challenge: Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle!

This is my first Monthly Challenge through the Cricut Circle Blog!  In this challenge, you must recycle, reuse or repurpose 3 items on your project.  I decided to enter my party decorations that I made for my daughter's birthday (today is her 5th birthday).  My daughter LOVES Spongebob Squarepants so we went with the Spongebob theme and made these decorations.  For each of these characters, I used the Spongebob Squarepants cartridge and printed and cut the layers with my Cricut Imagine.  I repurposed a few things around the house to create these decorations:  the flower pots, BBQ skewers, and the shredded paper in the pots is reused from Easter baskets!  They were a lot of fun to make and a hit at the family party we had this evening, but I think they will be even more of a hit when we have the kid's party this weekend!
