Summer Picnic layout for CC challenge

This is my entry for the Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge. 

JULY MONTHLY CHALLENGE: Let’s Eat Challenge!

One of the best things about the summertime is the opportunity to have meals and family gatherings outside! This month, we want you to create something with a BBQ, Picnic, or Patio theme, AND a gingham or check pattern.

Sad to say this is the last project I did with my beloved Gypsy before I had to send her into PC yesterday.  The title of this layout is Summer Picnic.  The table red and white check paper I got at Joanns.  

For the title I used Mickey Font at 1.87 and welded it to a square to make the page.  I then cut the letters out at 1.67 in the check material.
Basket is from My Community at 5 inches.  I added the check for the look of a cloth and it was hand cut.
The ants are from Nates ABC cut at 2 inches.
Chicken leg Everyday Paper Doll 2 inches, Strawberry Country Life 2 inches, Cuts from Block Party-
salad 3 inches, watermelon 3 inches, mustard, ketchup, soda 3 inches and pie 3 1/2 inches.

Two Layouts- One for CC Weekly Challenge

The first  layout is for the weekly CC challenge. The Challenge: Include a Fairytale or Folklore figure in your project (princesses, gnomes, etc. I knew right away I wanted to get out My Community and do a layout of the Three Bears.  The bears were cut from My Community at ", 4 1'2" and 4 ".  The bowls were cut at 2 1'2, 2", and1 1'2".  Goldilocks was cut at 5 ".  I used the Gingerbread house on the same cart but turned the snow parts into straw by embossing.  The forest trees came form Campout and were also cut at 5 ".  The greenery was from Plantin Schoolbook.  I used a lot of different embossing folders  for texture and chalked the edges. Also used a bear paw stamp to frame pictures and Silver Sharpie for accents.  

This was a layout I had cut out before CHA for the CC crop.  Finally got around to gluing it together.  I also added the side strips which were done with my new 12 inch Cuttlebug folder  I used light blue glitter cordinations paper and then ran Tim Holtz purple distressed ink over the top.
