"Brave" Scrapbook Layout

Created this scrapbook layout using a wonderful piece of artwork my daughter created for me of the Disney Pixar movie "Brave" characters Merida (the girl) & Angus (the horse). We enjoyed the movie last wk.

Used DCWV Once Upon A Time Stack that had the colors of a tapestry. If you have not seen the movie I'll not give away the story line but the tapestry plays an important part in the movie. Printed the artwork on Kodk Ulta Premium Photo Paper. Matted the artwork on 2 layers of cardstock. Used 3 different Cricut cartridges for the embellishing.
Used Stand & Salute for the "Brave" word cut from "Home of the Brave." Used Life is a Beach Cricut cartridge for the Sun. 
Added glitter to the center of the Sun. The Sun is an important part of the movie also. Used Paper Doll Dress Up for the Bow & Arrow from the Indian Boy. The bow & arrow represent my sport part of  challenge I'm entering this in since archery is a sport. The bow & arrow are important in the movie. Used liquid Pearls White Opal on the arrow.

Photographed with a Giddyup Stick Pony that was a present from me to my daughter when she was younger & she has kept.

  4. This is such an amazing piece of artwork!!! I love your daughter's depiction of princess Merida. My husband plays the bagpipes and actually played for an early screening of the movie. So, we all got in for free to see it before it was release. It was so much fun! Thank you so much for submitting this to the challenge at www.thecricutchirp.com
