Cricut Circle Challenge #7

1.      Create a Christmas Tradition themed layout. You must use a minimum of 2 Cricut cartridges & at least 1 cartridge must not be a Christmas/Winter cartridge. 

Here's my LO:-

Santa's sleigh -- Imagine Snow Angel (Christmas cart.)  
Reindeer -- Create a Critter (non-Christmas cart.)  

Santa's Littlest Reindeer was created in CCR, using the Songbird (another non-Christmas) cart. and manipulated to sit willy nilly, and cut w/ my Cricut Mini. 
The b/g paper has raised glittered snowflakes all over it.  
Reindeers' heads only and sleigh are pop-dotted. 

The "littlest reindeer" is referring to non other than li'l Bailey!!! 

Cricut Circle Challenge #4

1.    Create a project for Christmas without using any green, red or pure white in the project. [Off whites like a beige can be used.]

Here's my interpretation of a non-Christmasy coloured card.  

Whoever is the recipient of this card and will probably ask: "a pink reindeer?????" ---- I'll tell them that "Susan made me do it!!!"  LOL
