On my project I used the following cartridges:

Sophie, Word Of Mouth and Spring Chic.

I chose to make a cork board for my craft room. It started out looking like this.

Not pretty I know but it is a perfect 12x12 square and you can purchase them in many scrapbook stores. 1 side is sticky so I used that side to adhere my 12x12 base paper and it went on like a dream! Now here is a picture of my finished cork board.

I used the Imagine Cartridge Word of Mouth for the Live what you love Die cut. I cut it at 4 inches.

I used My George basics cartridge for the floral square and cut it at 6 inches. Then I used Sophie to make the grey doily and cut it at 6 inches also. In order to get the perfect Grey for the doily I used Cricut Imagine Spring Chic. I do my projects in Craft Room and would be lost with out this awesome free tool!!

My roses were cut from Sophie at 2 inches and I did them again using the blackout feature to give it a little pop of color.

I did the same thing with the leaves. It is amazing how a little layering can make a huge difference! 

I cut the Butterflies at 1.50 inches and did those in layers also. I then used Doodle Twine for the body and antennas.

I also embellished them with a little stickles. I also used Stardust Stickles over the lettering. A trick I learned from Erica is that the Stardust can be used over any color and it just enhances it and gives it a little sparkle. I love it!!

I hope you enjoyed my project and will visit my little blog again. We all love to read your comments too!! Now next you should be going to Heather's Blog.
