Canvas frame "Nicole"

Hi everyone,
ooooff, I haven't been on here in a long time!! I have been so busy doing "things" around the house that I haven't even had much time for therapy (crafting), I haven't sat in my crafting room for quite a while before this project. I recently bought the Country Carnival Cricut Cartridge and decided to open it up, once I saw the font I had an idea and away I went. I purchased this 12 x 12 canvas about 1 year or so ago and decided to finally put it to use. Below are pics of my project.
I made this for my niece so that she can hang it in her room.

Materials used:
DCWV Old World paper stack
DCWV Cardstock Neutrals
Tim Holtz Ornate Plate & Adage Tickets
Recollections Swirl & Flowers & Brads, (except for the silver brad, thats Stampin' Up)
I believe the Bingo card is also from Recollections but I am not 100% sure
I have had all these supplies forever and never used them until now.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you come back soon!
Have a wonderful day!!
