Howling cats, and a big black spider,
Flying bats, some doughnuts and cider,
Smiling pumpkins can be seen;

Here is what I made:
I was inspired by the rosette Christmas wreath in the Close To My Heart catalog. I used several cricut cartridges to create my Halloween version. I must admit, it has been over a year since I played with my cricut. After purchasing my silhouette, my E2 just sat there and collected dust. I pondered selling it a few times, but boy am I glad I didn't! I forgot what fun my cricut is. I used CTMH paper and I have to tell you it cuts like butter. I thought the silhouette cut better, but it turns out the right paper is all I needed in the cricut. I will be using my cricut a lot more and am debating if I want to take the plunge and invest in the explore.
Cricut cartridges I used:
Ribbons & Rosettes
Mini Monsters
Holiday Cakes
Martha Stewart Crafts seasonal cake art
CTMH paper I used:
Scaredy Cat Paper Packet
Paper Fundamentals Enchantment Assortment

ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny, for inviting me to be a part of your hop!
DeleteI had the explore in my cart several times from HSN but never clicked confirm. Waiting to see if the explore will be on sale for black friday.
Have yet to try rosettes - I think this pushed me to try them! nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammi. I have to admit, I was never crazy about taking the time to make rosettes but I am sure glad I did! Let me know if you have any questions making them.
DeleteThis is AWESOME!!!! And yes, take the PLUNGE and get that Explore girl!!!! You will be SO happy you did!!!
ReplyDeleteJessica, I just may. If JB wasn't so tempting ever month, I probably would have it by now….LOL!
DeleteNow this project looks like a lot of fun to make! And with different papers, could be used for any occasion. Great job! I have the Silhouette machines and still have my Cricut. There are a ton of great images on the cartridges, so I'm not willing to give them up! You should have fun exploring the cartridges you own! You'll find some happy surprises there!!
