History Project with the Cricut!!!

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Can you believe it... it's the LAST DAY

of NOVEMBER!!! WOW in Just

one month we will be in a NEW YEAR!

Boy this year flew by.... Today I have something

to show you that I made with my son for school.

My Middle Son Juston who is in the 10th grade...

Had a History project that needed to get done...

And of course it was due today... So we did it

ALL last night.... It really wasn't that hard since I had

all the things we needed.... Sooo here is the project we

worked on together....

Well.... Here is one of my Handsome boys! :o)

This project was made for his History class...

They had to make a Shield of Arms....

His small group picked a SILLY NAME!

They are called the FATCAKES! LOL

I laugh every time I say it... My son did not

like this name but the group chose it and so he was

stuck with it... weather he liked it or not!

They also had to be cautions of the colors they used...

As to not take away from another groups Shield Colors...

Sooo... here is the close up...

I used 3 Cartridges...

Martha Stewart All Occasion for the 2 purple Cupcakes....

Sweet Treats for all the other Cupcakes...

All the Cupcakes were cut at 3" and I used gems, stickles, Ink,

Swirl Devine Embossing Folder and

 of course Dimensionals... to make them POP! :o)

The shield and the letters are from the

Blackletter Cartridge.... Which I didn't have this

Cartridge until I bought the Gypsy during Octobers Special....

The shield itself was cut at 22 1/2" x 11"

and the Letters were cut @ 2 1/2"

Now... I will say this.... I'm still NOT a fan

of the Gypsy!! I know.... I know.... some of you

are saying WHAT???? Look it's a lovely gadget and

it certainly comes in handy for things... BUT

I AM A DESIGN STUDIO GIRL! LOL

I LOVE my Design Studio and CAN NOT

LIVE without it! hahaha

I CAN LIVE WITHOUT the GYPSY! BUT

I am a sucker for a DEAL! LOL

So I will continue to use it... I Mean I have

2 Expressions.... So I'm gonna use my DS and

my Gypsy for my machines... and by the way....

I DID use Both my machines to make this Shield....

I used my Reg. E for the 12 x 24 cuts

and used my PRETTY PLUM E

for all the smaller cuts! :o)

Anyway..... that's it for me for today!

I'll be back tomorrow with this weeks

Cricut Cardz Challenge! I think you're

gonna LIKE IT! :o)

HAVE AN AWESOME DAY!!!!
