Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge Entry--Wall Decor

Seems I just don't get back here to post anything after I am finished anymore.  I have a backlog of projects and cards to post, but no worries, I will get them here eventually.  I have a double-entry project to share first.  I made it for the new Circle Monthly challenge, and I used the supplies that came in my mystery box from Megan Elizabeth at Above Rubies Studio so I can enter it in her contest as well.  Whew!  I needed to use at least three colors to design some type of wall art and knew just what to do!  I have had some old pictures of me my sisters and myself as kids that I wanted to display. 
  Here we go!

First off, this is a picture of all the great supplies from the mystery box that I had to work with.  I already had an oval shadowbox frame to use as well.

Here is the finished product!  I love the colors almost as much as the subjects of the photo!  ;)  Forgive my  photo skills--the frame is black with a bronzed distress.
 These flowers from the art philosophy cartridge are just the perfect accent for shadowbox frames.  I added a heart shaped brad to the center of the burgundy colored one.  I also curled the edges of it to give it another look.
 This slider is from the art philosophy cart as well.   Gave it a bit of black ink around the edges for contrast.
 Guess which cricut cart this beautiful butterfly is from???  Yep--art philosophy!  So is the oval boarder which I inked up around the edges.  I used my glitter pen to add some sparkle to her wings...as well as inked her up a teenie bit.
 I decided to use these little clothespins to hold the ribbon in place to add another dimension...
 Corner cuts...all from the same cartridge!
I absolutely do adore how this frame came out.  Here is the list of supplies that I used:
