A Bushel and a Peck

Here's one of the layouts we created at the Chicago Regionals.

(Click on any image to enlarge for more detail)

The layout uses the Claire papers, the Trinket Wooden Shapes and the Patterned Pennants stamp set.

The title "a bushel and a peck" was created using the negative image cut from the Artiste Cricut cartridge.  The negative images seem to be such a hot trend right now.  One tip that I can share with you, I learned at Regionals...when you are cutting a title on your Cricut, and you plan to use the negative image, do not have the Material Saver button on.  Program your Cricut to cut the entire title at once making sure to place a "space" between each word. (NOTE: I'm posting a Cricut video with lots of tips and techniques coming on Saturday...be sure to check it out!)

The banners were cut with the Cricut and then stamped with one of the patterned pennants.  I love seeing how to use stamp images in a different way.  This stamp set is also perfect to use to make faux washi tape...just by stamping a portion of the image on the edge of your artwork...it looks just like washi tape was used (I didn't do that on this layout).

The sunshine rays in the bottom right corner were also made by just using the tip portion of the patterned pennants.  So glad to have this stamp set now...I can see so many more uses for it!
