Happy Monday everyone!! It is challenge day over at Exploring Cricut. We have a great challenge for you today! It is a 1-2-3 challenge! 1 Embellishment, 2 Patterned Papers and 3 Cricut Cuts. So, I can have a bit of a literal personality - before I could create this little layout, I needed to be certain of the rules. Did one embellishment mean actually one - like one button, one brad etc. Did it mean one KIND of embellishment - like all the buttons I wanted? You get the idea. I was equally worried about the Cricut Cuts... I have been assured that the key here is that you use "at least" 1-2-3! Here is what I came up with:
It has been forever since I did a layout - I am YEARS behind with my scrapping - eeek!! I decided to do a cute little swimming layout. So, my 1-2-3... 1 - embellishment: the button they are from Walmart. I tied a little piece of twine into each of them. 2 - patterned papers: they are both from CTMH. 3 - cricut cuts: the cutie swimmer is from Teddy Bear Parade. She is cut at 3 1/2 inches. The wave is from Zoobaloo. I cut is at 12 inches in length, so it would fit on my page. The title is the last cut. It is from Robotz - my favorite chunky font!
The cardstock is all from Michael's. I decided to stamp on my layout!! I never mix stamping and crapping, but I am stepping out of my little box :) "A Day at the Beach" is one of Mary's amazing Cardz TV stamp sets, and you can buy your own HERE.
Be sure to swing by Exploring Cricut and play along with us, you could win a great prize! I can't wait to see what you find on your cartridges to inspire us. Don't forget that there are new projects to inspire you every day on the blog, created by our amazing and talented Design Team. I always love seeing what they create.

Well my brain must question in a similar way to yours, as I looked at the 1-2-3 challenge and immediately started having the same thoughts (strictly one embellishment or did that mean one kind of embellishment, etc.)! I had decided not to try the challenge because I was afraid of doing it wrong, but now you've figured out all my concerns! Maybe I'll have to try it after all! Love your sweet little teddy bear and layout and I love the Robotz font! I bought that cart more for the font that the bots :)
Wonderful layout! Great 1-2-3 and for me I am totally loving how you used the buttons on your layout! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creation with us at 4 Crafty Chicks.
