First up is a landscape photograph tuned into an art poster. Landscapes can evoke memories from a special time, yet I find myself replacing them with pictures of my children. Cutting a meaningful quote out of a landscape photo is one way to add interest and a pop of unexpected color.
After finding a quote that fit what the photo represented to me, I uploaded it to the Cricut Design Space, set the dial to poster board, loaded my mat, and pressed go. Once the Cricut Explore was finished doing its thing, I glued the photo onto a brightly color piece of cardstock and finished with a frame.
It is always easy to go from inspiration to creation in a few simple clicks with the Cricut Explore. And lucky you, Cricut is giving away 50 machines! If you want to win one, all you need to do is upload a photo of any project that you have made (it does not need to be made with a Cricut product - it can be anything as long as you made it) with the #cricut and #imadeit to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and you will automatically be entered to win. Check out the official rules right here. And if you want, go ahead and tag me (@cloudydaygray), so I can play along with the fun!

I made this project as an entry into the Cricut Design Star challenge. Cricut has asked a number of bloggers to enter projects with specific themes as a fun way to test out the Cricut Explore. I am also now an official affiliate blogger for Cricut, so any purchases made through a link from this site, will result in a percentage going into my pocket. Always, thank you for your support.
