Memories - For Just Buggin Contest "All About Pets"

When I was looking thru Karens Blog today I was drawn in by a contest she entered and was in the top 3 (Congrat's Karen). I loved her card and followed the link to the site "Just Buggin" and was quite taken by it. So I decided to try the current contest "All About Pet's"! Again I tried a new type of layout; I have wanted to try the swirls out for some time. I purchased the Cricut Cartridge "Home Decor" a few months ago specifically for the swirls.

In this particular layout I used the Cricut "Home Decor" Cartridge for the background flowers, the swirls and the word Memories.  The paper has all be distressed and various layering techniques have been used with the paper and all other elements.  Pearls of 3 different sizes have been used for accenting.  My daughter wants this in her special book.
