I am in love.....UPDATED

WITH CRICUT. My dearest love treated me to a new cartridge this week. DOODLECHARMS! It has so many cute things. I decided to stick with the tag for every month thing. Some I like, some I LOVE. The camera (and my inabillity to use it properly I assume) do not do some of these justice. So far I have done 6 Jan- June. The ladybug in the jar is my favorite. Let me know if you want to see that one close up and I will make you one.










January He is all cardstock except his buttons are black brads I gave him rosy cheeks with some chalk





February is a small valentine with an embossed heart.










March: St. Patricks Day I am not happy with this one but the ribbon and the hat brad are cute. I may dig out the other cartridge and do either a small leprechaun or a shamrock. UPDATE: I told you I was crazy







April Easter Bunny I pinked him up with chalk also and gave him foam dot eyes.






May Flower Cardstock popped up with dots




AND MY FAVORITE ...

It is a two peice ladybug in a vellum jar with a silver embossed lid. Like I said the camera and I have not been getting along for months. Or at least not on these close up things. But she is so cool IMHO.

More tomorrow. Or later tonight after game night.

PART TWO

July

August: Sandcastle
Those of you that know how insane I am know I would not have been happy with a plain flat sandcastle

Lack of real sand (though I did consider not finishing until next week when I have access to sand) made me have to improvise. I dusted it with brown chalk and then used the clear glaze that you would use to make the cracked glass effect. Then still looked sad so I added vellum waves that I dragged thru Sky Blue ink.

September - back to school though this means nothing to my unsocialized homeschoolers (actually seeing this means we can go to Walmart with fewer screamin kids there) It is what I always think of in Sept. I did vellum for the windows.

October. You can barely see it but Charlotte is sitting on a vellum web.

Novemeber: Turkey He had a slight mishap so I may redo him also.

December: I was going to do a Santa but the girls wanted a reindeer. He also has the foam eyes and a LARGE gem brad for a nose.

March seems so substandard now. March and November may get redone.
