 I had very good intentions with this layout although it went off course and I don't feel it's my best work, however, it's still a page completed!  I feel good about that.  I used a sketch and some older papers from my stash.

Here's the sketch.

Cricut Country Fair Challenge for Bitten by the Bug 2

Welcome to the latest Bitten by the Bug 2 challenge: Country Fair.  I found this challenge well, challenging but I managed to eek out a couple of cards I feel have a country fair feel.  I found this 7 Gypsies paper that really lent itself to my cuts.

The cow is from Quilted Christmas.  I know right?  An Xmas image?  I find so many great images in this set, I love the intricate cuts that are pretty easy to create.  I layer my cut on a manual die cut oval using My Favorite Things Double Stitched Ovals in a complimentary golden paper.

My second card is a supposed award winning pie from the fair.  How do you like that?  It's blueberry, my hubby thought it should be more blue but I find when you make a pie they turn more purple.  Anyway, the first dark paper cut didn't work, the paper was too thin. So I switched to a thicker paper, the second cut was fine but still quite a puzzle to assemble the blueberries (dark layer).

I used the Sparkly Sweet Treats image set for this one and same 7 Gypsies Spitafields paper.  I also used one of my oldest tools, my original Creative Memories corner rounder.
