Laundry Room Collage

This past weekend, I put together two collage scrapbook frames to decorate my laundry room.  I painted my laundry room and wanted to spiff it up some.  I was inspired by Amy's "Gnome Sweet Gnome" collage at SVGCuts.com: http://www.svgcuts.com/blog/2011/02/24/gnome-sweet-gnome-svg-collage/.

I'm also entering this in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge!  I used the American Crafts "Dear Lizzy" paper and the butterflies and trees are from the April Showers Cricut cartridge.  The basket is from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge, and I cut off the basket handle to make it look more like a laundry basket and punched two circles for the laundry in the baskets.

I used my Cri-Kit pens to write the words "Loads of fun" and cut the clouds in my Sure-Cuts-a-Lot software.  I embossed the tree tops with the Swiss dots Cuttlebug folder and then stickled each dot.  The butterflies and large cloud are also enhanced with Stickles.  It's hard to see that in the photo.


I cut out the individual clothes from the "Dear Lizzy" paper line and used the same butterflies from the April Showers cartridges.  The phrase "It all comes out in the wash" was written with my Cri-Kits pens.  I used stickles on the butterflies.

 
I hope you enjoyed reading this!
