Celebrate The Occasion Challenge #7 -- Our New Home! Handy Man, DonJuan

It's time again to Celebrate The Occasion!!  Challenge #7 is to create a card, layout, or project celebrating a New Home!!  My submission for the Design Team this week was created using the Cricut Lite Handy Man Cartridge (have you seen all the houses on this cartridge???) and the DonJuan Cricut Cartridge.  I hope you'll hop on over to CTO to see all of the Design Team's awesome creations and join in on the challenge with me!!

This two-page 12x12 layout features background paper from Creative Memories Primary Power Palette (now discontinued) and cardstock colors in gray, cranberry, gold, and deep blue.

I used my circle punch to punch all those little blue circles for the background AND the shingled roof on the house, and I used my SU! scallop border punch for the 'shingled' look across the top of the layout...

This house can be found on the Cricut Lite Handy Man Cartridge (available at Walmart)...  I originally got this cartridge because of all of the tools (thought it would be great for some masculine cards and layouts of The-Boy-Child playing with his toy hammer or helping his grandpa in the workshop), but I've found the houses on this cartridge to be a real treasure!!

The title was cut using both the base font and shadow feature found on the DonJuan Cricut Cartridge...

I hope you have enjoyed my layout created for Celebrate The Occasion's Challenge #7...  Your comments are always appreciated, so please let me know you were here (and if you have a blog, please leave a link so I can visit you too!!).

Until next time, may you have LOTS to celebrate!!
