 Grab your popcorn and your ticket! The show is about to begin!!

Sooooo, speaking of popcorn...

Do you remember the first time you went to a Circus? I remember the first sights AND smells I had!! The think that sticks out most is the smells! Some were not so good..and some were good! I decided to work with the good and I based my project off the BEST smell of a Circus...that's right...POPCORN!!!

I used the Close To My Heart Artiste Cartridge and the cut on page 42 that is the Cone! I used the NEW Confetti Wishes paper pack to make my cone! Then I cut out some of the balloons on page 70 in Hollyhock, Canary, and Lagoon! Then, I backed them with scrap White Daisy so it looked like the reflection! 

From the Carousel Cartridge, I cut out the ADMIT ONE ticket! 

HOW CUTE IS IT? 

I used the Sparkle Twine that Close To My Heart sells to act as balloon stings! 

Here is the video of how I made this project:
