Welcome to Cooking with Cricut Challenge # 68-Photo Inspiration. The challenge this week is to see how this photo inspires your Cricut creativity.
When I saw this photo, my first thought was ice skating. I know how to ice skate but I’m definitely not an ice skater nor did I grow up in the snow. Also, if you look at the water it’s not frozen so you can’t really skate on it either-duh! Anyways, a Winter Ice Skate was my inspiration to make this skate shaped card.

I welded the ice skate together using my Cricut and Gypsy with the Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge. I added a snowflake die-cut, laced the shoe with ribbon and stamped a Winter sentiment inside the card from
I think this Winter Ice Skate Card is so pretty and looks just like the inspiration photo! Now lets see how this photo inspires you by linking up to the CWC challenge.
