Project must also include spray ink and must be newly created for this challenge.This challenge is open to Cricut Circle Members only. Submit your entry using the InLinkz tool found at the bottom of this post. Please post your full name along with your entry. You must submit a project to be entered into the drawing.

Good morning Circlets! Kristen here and I hope you are having a fabulous week! I have the challenge this week, the Whatevah! Challenge to use three images of a single shape and spray misters on your project. I chose to do a layout of photos from last winter.
First, I printed out my cardstock colors and printed paper using Mr. Frosty and my Imagine.
Then I layered my teal pattern on top of some white cardstock, cutting off about 1/4 inch off one side of the top and bottom of the teal paper. I then layered on a piece of this light teal in a block.
I then cut out my snowman, trees and border pieces in white. First I layered the white snowflakes over the white scallop border. I used Sky Blue Tattered Angels mist to spritz over the snowflakes, coloring the snowflakes light blue, and also giving a pattern to my border.
I also sprayed my trees with Key Lime Pie and let them all dry. When dry, I spritz a little hairspray over all the pieces to keep the shimmer powder on the sprayed pieces.
After cutting out the green trees and border, I embossed the tree with the D’Vine Swirl Embossing folder.
I started attaching pieces to my layout, adding my photos, the two borders and the trees- popping up some of the trees with foam tape. I took the pieces I cut for the snowman, and instead of cutting them with colors, I cut them on white, and colored the pieces with my Sharpie Markers. I glued all the pieces together and double foam taped the snowman up.
I added some embellishments with buttons tied with twine bows, and then added my journaling. To finish the layout I placed some of those blue snowflakes on the top and bottom of the layout, adding glitter glue to them and a single lime pearl to their centers.
I cut my title using Gypsy and the Cake Basics font and adjusted the Kern to make the letters touch, then welded the letters together, cut them and glued them at the top.
To recap- our challenge this week is to use a shape 3 times on your layout ( did that with both snowflakes and trees) and to use spray mist ( blue and green used!) Hope you have lots of fun creating for this challenge!
