would you ever guess in my cricut craft room

happy wednesday ! today is would you ever guess wednesday at My Cricut Craft Room and our challenge is to make 1 project using 7 different cartridges.

i'm anxious for my favorite season fall to arrive and i thought id make a wreath for my front door. i havent decided if i want to put the word welcome or what yet. when i finally decide it will get adhered on the bottom under the bird and flowers.

i started with a grapevine wreath

for these flowers ( and the ones inside the flowerpot) i used walk in my garden crpsis at 2 inches. and for the stems i used zoobaloo branch cut at 2~1/2 inches

 the bees are from pooh and friends cut at 1 inch. i wrapped some wire around a pen to curl it then adhered the bees to that. 

i used walk in my garden for the flower pot cut at 5 inches and spade at 4~1/2 inches.

the flowers are from accent essentials (accent 33s) cut at 1~1/2 inches. i adhered buttons in the centers. the branch is from stretch your imagination flourish2 (s) cut at 5 inches.

and for this flower and the other one like it i used cindyloo flower 4 cut at 2 inches down to 1 inch in 1/4 increments then layered and scrunched them. i used plantin for the leaves behind these cut at 1~1/2 inches.

i hope you like my pretty wreath im anxious to get it hung :)

i have to admit this one was a real challenge for me i had no idea what i was going to do with circles other than using one as the shape of a card or a tag ..i wanted to do something different than that.

so i used george cart and cut different sized circles inked them up and sat and pondered for a few minutes. i added buttons and pondered another minute. of course my mind is on fall although our weather has been weird.. in the 90s in  october when im making this ! what the heck! i want to pull out my comfy flannel hanging out pants dang it! :) so.. fall thinking ,  i cut a tree from stretch your imagination and let it all come together. the stamp sentiment  is from whimsical designs. paper is dcwv. hope you like this one :)
