Work On it Wednesday - Cricut Welcome Muggles Layout

WELCOME FELLOW PAPERCRAFTERS! 

Today I am again featuring Guest Designer Ginni Candelaria.  Ginni is a fellow Close To My Heart (CTMH) consultant who designers layouts using Cricut cut files and CTMH paper packets.  Now that I was on a roll with a Harry Potter theme, I decide to create this another layout from Ginni's workshop called "Welcome Muggles".

This layout came together fairly quickly using the cut file and cardstock I happened to have on hand from yesterday's layout.  As luck would have it, the dark red and yellow pattern was on the backside of the brick patterned paper.  I will admit Harry's tie was cut by hand out of a scrap of patterned paper left over from a different layout.  It was extremely lucky I just happened to have a scrap that was exactly the right size to make the tie.

Supplies needed:

1. X5961 Saffron Cardstock
2. X5965 Ruby Cardstock
3. X5946 Linen Cardstock
4. X5955 Pebble Cardstock
5. 1385 White Daisy Cardstock  
6. X6047 Black Cardstock
7. Z3312 Gold Glitter Gems
8. Z3517 Black Journaling Pen (.05)
9. Z2497 TriBlend Dark Red Marker

In addition to the happy accident with the tie, I changed up two things to make this layout "my own".  First, I used Linen for my base pages since I thought the Linen color is more neutral and would allow my photos to "pop".

The other item I changed was I used I piece of yellow striped cardstock from a retired mix in paper packet to make the photo mat.  I colored the white stripes using the "dark" portion of the Dark Red Triblend marker.  If you don't have a sheet of yellow striped paper at home, you can easily create this photo mat coloring both the yellow and red stripes on to white cardstock.  Hint: make it easier by just coloring the edges since a photo will be covering the center.

Check back in tomorrow for another cute Harry Potter layout and some stash busting tips.

Stay well and Happy crafting!!
