Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #18: Back to Basics

The hardest part of this challenge was to figure out which cartridge I would use. Well I decided to go to the Gypsy (I turn to it all the time anyway) and use Gypsy Wanderings cartridge. 


Ok so here is the rules and my interpretation:


For this challenge we want you to go “Back to the Basics” . . . by using ONLY the cartridge(s) that came with your machine or Gypsy! You must use THREE cuts on your project (the complete title or words counts as one cut). 

That's my only Grandson looking spiffy in his Tiger Club Uniform. I used "It Takes Two" BSA paper for the background paper and Bazzill CS for everything else. I did 4 cuts from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge; the cap, boy, and the tag on pg. 46 & the Fleur border on pg. 15. The "Clearly Yours Stickers" are from K & Company. 

It was fun to pick just one cartridge and see what I could do with it. I might try it again it sure made it a lot simpler. Hope you like the LO and thanks for taking time to check it out & "Keep Scrapping Your Legacy's"!

BTW I did notice after I published this post that I had misspelled "pretty" on my LO so I went back and corrected it. Dang I wish there was spell check when I am scrapping... lol.
