I really haven't tried working with sketches before, so I thought this week's Cricut Circle Challenge would be a good opportunity to do so. We were asked to use the sketch below, and it ended up working pretty well for scrapping another page from my son's 4th birthday party.
The star border going across the center of my page is cut at 1.25" from the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cartridge. I cut "GAMES" from Boys Will Be Boys at 2". The phrase is actually "GAME", but I used my gypsy to weld an "S" to the shadow.
My dump truck is cut at 2.25" from Mickey and Friends. I popped it up on a 4" circle that I cut from Cricut Classic Font and ran through the Polka Dots Cuttlebug folder. Some Jolee's dimensional stickers made the centers of the wheels.
To make the circle peeking behind my yellow layer at the top of the page, I dragged the same 4" circle I used before off the bottom of my Gypsy screen, so that only part of it would cut out. I did the same thing with a 3.65" circle for the green layer. The little stars were leftover from the border cut.
I'm also entering this layout into the Whimsical Wednesday "Happy Birthday" Challenge.
