Cricut Circle August Monthly Challenge: Create a Scene Submission

Hello my scrappin' friends! Been a little while. I've been on vacation for a few days visiting family in St Louis. And thought about this challenge while high in the sky! I have so much scrapbooking to catch up on it was hard to choose which group to do a "scene challenge" with! But I always love spring and Easter! so...for this challenge I chose a few Easter pics from Spring from a couple of different seasons, thats why some have jackets on and some don't! The Easters in March are sometimes cool here in Texas! Just having to pick out a few pics helped remind me I really need to get all the years scrapped!!
The Cricut Circle challenge is to create a scene with cricut cartridges! of course...preferably, but not required, using the 4th quarter Circle Cartridge: Pop-up Neighborhood. This was my favorite circle cart until we just received "Sophie"!! Love this one most of all the Circle carts! Awesome...Well, you only had to use 2 cuts! I used a whole lot more than that! and I made some I didn't even end up using! The winner is chosen at random (thank goodness! I might have a chance!) and the prize is:

Recipe: (yikes, I hope I remember them all! The gypsy doesn't show you what carts it uses on the Imagine app)
Imagine
Expression 2
Gypsy
The background pages were printed on the Imagine using the Better Together Bonus section and printed full pages.
Cuttlebug and d'vine swirls and swiss dots
Imagine Better Together: little girls on right side cut at 2.5" and balls cut at 1"
Imagine Best Friends: girls on left side of page cut at 2.5", kite at 4", doghouse at 4", flowers cut at 1"
April Showers for the Spring Banner cut at 9"
Campin Critters for the tree with dog peeking out

Kate's ABC's for the little bunny in the left hand corner
Lori's Garden for the butterflies, cut and doubled at 1"

Enjoy the Seasons for the barbecue pit cut at 3"
Thanks for stopping by!! Hope I remembered them all! Wish me luck! and if you're entering, I wish you luck!! That would certainly buy a few carts at least!

I wasn't going to enter because I have so much going on right now, but I just couldn't help myself! I had a day to play and decided to go for it, since I'd been rolling some things around in my head for a few days. I chose to make a card but I wish I'd made it a layout about 1/2 way through! I would have liked to make a bigger baby bassinet that I put in the window and the silhouette of mother of child, which is an SVG.  They were very tough to get that small!
Here's my card:

I think I used several more than 4 cuts for this!
The recipe:
Imagine
Expression 2
Gypsy
Orange Stickles
Blue Stickles
Peals
Pop-Up Neighborhood - the house was cut 3.7" colors from Imagine Basic colors and the roof, porch and mailbox (cut at 1 1/2") using Snapshot-Texture, the visitor is the "housewife" in the handbook. I didn't think she needed the apron! The dress was cut using  Audrey Pattern Cart at 3". The fence was cut using the gypsy and the E2 so I could size it and cut at 1.6 x .84 to line up with the front of the house.
MS Seasonal for the grass cut at 1/2" with paper from my stash
Birthday Bash -  balloons, cut at 3" but the strings didn't make the cut, so I used sew'n sew thread for them and attached them to the bouquet on the housewife, colors from Nursery Tails Imagine Cart
Nursery Rhymes - the bassinet cut at 1/2"!! The Imagine couldn't cut it very well at that size due to the rocker on the botton so I just printed it and then hand cut it since all I needed was the top portion.
Simply Charmed for the "Welcome Baby" cut at 1.2" with paper from my stash
Wish me luck! and thanks for stopping by! Have a great week! I'm going to be busy selling backpacks at one of the schools in Azle. I hate to see school start this year! My DGD and I have had so much fun and I have enjoyed keeping a couple of days a week. Sometimes 3! I wish there was more time to spend with my DGS!! I miss him!
