A Card Challenge That is Easy to Create with Picture My Life Cards

It's been a long time since I've done a card challenge from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #405. I also included the Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #427. 

It's so fun to put the challenges together to get you color palette and your sketch to create. 

The sketch I worked with was #405:

Happiness Lives Here Scrapbooking Workshop Kit - Perfect for You At Home!

Bring a ray of sunshine to scrapbook pages, cards, and any other paper crafts when you work with this cheerful paper collection and its coordinating products.

Happiness Lives Here

I've made 3 videos showing the cutting and assembling of the 3 projects in the Happiness Lives Here Scrapbooking Workshop. The layouts are beautiful for so many situations but they do work perfectly for any stay at home activities that are going on in your home or around your home, like bike rides for instance. There are a lot of floral clusters in accompaniment with antique-like elements, typewriter, bike, and pocket watch. The die cuts for each of the 2 page layouts make creating colorful, fun, and interesting layouts that are timeless.

100% Cricut Cuts Scrapbook Layout from Close To My Heart Happiness Lives Here Collection

100% Cricut from the Happiness Lives Here Collection

This is a beautiful layout that is created entirely with the Cricut.

This is just one of the many exclusive Close To My Heart Cricut collections. 

Digital Image Set, Close To My Heart - Happiness Lives Here

The backgrounds are amazingly intricate. What an outstanding layout. This is truly a layout you will be so proud to show others. The detailed cutouts on the scalloped backgrounds for your pictures are gorgeous. The Beautiful title is a layered 2 piece Cricut cut. The background is white daisy cardstock while the top piece is Blue Belle with "Beautiful" cut out thinly. The flowers coordinate with the Happiness Lives Here papers. The bike is also a classic element on the sticker sheet. With the collection you can make as many bikes as you want in any colors that suit your project. You can even make lovely floral cards with the collection.

I enjoyed putting this layout together. You can put it together as you wish. I followed the picture for the most part but I do have differences. The order of my flowers is different and I made white flowers. Do it however you want to do it. You can certainly use a different color palette. This is the Happiness palette, mostly. The cardstock I used: White Daisy (3) Blue Belle (3) Smoothie (2) Peach (2) Sage (1) New England Ivy (1) Avocado (1) Canary (1) 

Here is my video showing you how I put it together: 

Supplies 

1. Happiness Lives Here Digital Collection
2. Happiness Lives Here Scrapbook Kit
3. Happiness Lives Here Papers and Sticker Sheet
4. Happiness Lives Here Coordinating Cardstock
5. All Cardstock
6. Adhesives

I loved making this layout with my Cricut Explore 2. You will need Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker and Design Space to make this and use our digital collections. I hope you are using your Cricut to a good extent. It's an amazing machine that is meant to be used. My Original Cricut sat in a box in the closet unused for 2 years ten years ago. It was fear. Get over any fear because you can do this. Remember it is only paper and you aren't breaking anything!
