This is my 3rd week to participate in the weekly challenge at http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/.
This week's challenge was to make something using any kind of polka dots.
My stepson's birthday is coming up- he does not read my blog but his wife does so
shhhh! please-
He does not like gifts but we still get him something and since he liked my vintage aluminum ice trays, I found him a really nice one on Ebay.
A vintage ice tray to gift wrap makes for a great was to use the From My Kitchen cricut cartridge. It has some very cute retro appliances.
The polka dot paper is just some I had in my stash and have no idea the brand or maker.
Inside- the words and numbers are from George Basic Shapes.
The star is from From My Kitchen.
I am so glad I found this cricut weekly challenge and started doing it. I've learned a little each week. Using the From My Kitchen, I figured out how to make extra cuts from different colors to make the details on the fridge. I also learned to make the shadow behind the words on Birthday Blessings.
Simple for the expert Cricut users but it was true ah ha moment for me!
Challenge #135- Seeing Spots
Make a project using Polka Dots
Ahh...36. Still a spring chicken, or rather rooster;-) I really love these projects you are making. I may add a circuit maker to my Christmas list.
