First Post for My Cricut Craft Room



 This is my first post on My Cricut Craft Room, and boy am I excited!!! Today is Theme Day Thursday,  and the theme we're following today is A Child's Year Cartridge.

 This was a great theme for me...I've had this cart for awhile and never used it. Could never figure out what to do with it. But then I had and idea. One of the little girls I take care of everyday is going to be a big sister in October. I've gotten really close to the family, and when they found out they were having another girl, the mom emailed me first to tell me:) I even got to know the name before anyone else does. (They find out that tidbit once she's born) So I made her this:


I used the A Child's Year cart for both the font, cut at 2 inches, and the fairy cut at 4 inches. I have to say, this is now my new favorite cartridge for the font! I absolutely love it!! I used Martha Stewart glitter in Rose to sparkle up the first letter in each part of her name, and to make the fairy sparkle trail too.

Other supplies used:
Cardstock- Core'dation colorcore
Pattern paper- Scrap from my stash
Ribbon- scrap
Adhesieve- Atg gun, Liquid Glass
Flowers-Recollections

 To see more projects of this fun theme check out My Cricut Craft Room to see what my DT sisters made.

  5. What a fabulous gift for a new baby! I love that name...and aren't you just special to get to know that before everyone else...LOL! Really, though, you MUST BE SPECIAL to the family for that honor. I am sure Mom, Big Sis, and baby (probably dad, too) will all love it. Great job using that cart for the first time!
