Cricut 360 Challenge No. 5

Hello! It's time for a challenge at the Cricut 360 blog.  Since many people travel in the month of August.This week's challenge is to create a card or layout about traveling.  You can find more details about this challenge or upload your creations please click HERE. 


As soon as I was informed about this week's theme,  I immediately knew I would scrap about the first time my little one rode a plane in 2009 when we went to La Riviera Maya in Mexico.   One thing I have to say is that technically, it was not the first time my little traveled on a plane.  Back in 2008, we took a plane to Mexico for my grandmother's funeral but my little one was too young and my mind was somewhere else, that I didn't take any pictures of it.  So, I considered our trip to La Riviera Maya to be his first official trip on a plane. Also this was the first time a stewardess gave him a pair of wings and he was very excited about it.
