Happy Birthday, Dr. Suess Challenge

For those of you that aren't aware, I was selected to be a designer for the CWC (Cooking With Cricut) Design team for 2012.  The link to the blog is on the right side of my blog.

For my first challenge, Happy Birthday, Dr. Suess.  The challenge was to create a layout that encourages reading.  This layout includes the "The Cat With Hat Dr. Suess file" from www.Papercraftingworld.com

Here is my layout:

The blue background paper is DCWV, the Dr Suess paper is some paper I found on clearance at Michael's a couple years ago, the other colors are some 8 1/2 x 11 paper I have stashed around the house. The charm was ordered from Oriental Trading. 

The story behind this layout:  My husband and I went to Florida on vacation a couple years ago.  He is used to reading to our granddaughter at bedtime on the weekends.  Because of our trip, he wasn't going to be home.  They decided the best way to handle it was to have Pap take books to Florida with him to read.  My granddaughter had the same books with her.  Every night Pap would call her and they would read to each other on the phone.  All the books were Dr. Suess!

Thank you for allowing me to share my layout and my story.  I can't wait to find where I put the pictures that will go on this layout.
