To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!

This challenge I'm using a large background diecut from the CTMH Artistry cartridge along with a diecut heart from the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge as a base for a Father's Day layout. Over the weekend I went to a one day scrapbooking crop, which was so much fun! I don't get away too much without my girlies and even though I love spending time with them - I really appreciate getting some time to myself! And, my awesome hubby appreciates ME even more when I get home ;)

I started off using the February 2017 sketch from the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Sketchy Gallery and using my triangular diecut in place of one of the circles in the sketch (shown at the bottom of post). I pulled out some papers, stickers and embellishments from the Shimelle Starshine collection. My oldest daughter has been away travelling for almost a year! and this was the last Father's Day we were all together! I'm hoping she'll be back in time for this Father's Day... <3

I used my new DOX Inks along with some Tattered Angels Ivory Baseboard and Tutti Frutti Glimmer Mist sprays to colour the diecut.

I added some DOX Ink to the top of my black wooden Happy diecut and stamped 'Father's Day' directly onto my photo. The 'love' paper clip is a coordinating Starshine embellishment.

I decided to stamp some CTMH stamps on my heart diecut before popping up with foam dots, and I clustered some fussy cut elements, wood embellishments and cork confetti stars (from SpiegelMom Scraps) along with some Simple Stories enamel dots. I always forget about these pretty dots, but a crop is a good time to grab a few of those things you've been meaning to use, but haven't got around to. When you have limited supplies with you it's easier to be creative with what you do have!

The 'this beautiful life' sticker is a clear sticker, and I wanted to have a solid base on it, so I layered it on ivory cardstock and cut around the edge.

Here's a selfie of one of my crafty besties, Laura, and myself at the crop!

and all the fun goodies I had set out on my table!

For my second page with photos from this Father's Day I used the March 2017 Creative Scrapbooker Magazine sketch and used more of the Shimelle Starshine collection so it coordinated with the first page.

I used the fun letter stickers in the collection and added more wood and cork embellishments, a fussy cut camera and enamel dots in coordinating colours.

At the crop some people had items from their own stash for sale, and I picked up a CTMH stamp set with the fun DAD sentiments and images that I used on my pages for $2. Yay!

I added the Awesome sticker on some ivory cardstock and popped it up with foam dots beside the DAD stamped sentiment. It matches the 'Awesome Dad' on the cute plaque Amie made for her dad in the photo!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to see what all the other Design Team members have come up with for this challenge, and enter your own Anything Goes project with a Cricut cut for a chance to win!!
