draw, cut color and paste!

So with Amy's wonderful gel pens my cricut Expression


and a little creativity I made this card...



OK so I am no good at explaining things but I am going to try.
1. Find your image and clean it up how you want it to look in MTC.
2. install Amy's pen holder with color ink you wish to use
3. set you pressure to about 3
4. hit the cut button but when it is done DO NOT HIT UNLOAD leave the paper in the machine
5. carefully without moving the blade carrier remove the pen holder and replace with your blade
6. change your pressure setting back to normal
7. in make the cut make a layer (it should be a shadow of the whole image sometimes you have to play around with this) but do not move the image on the mat....
8. send the shadow to it's own layer and hit the eye to turn of the layer you drew. At this point you should only see the shadow
9. hit cut and it will cut around you image now pop it out color it and attach it to a card!

Troll and skittles

Well a friend of mine works at Wall*mart and she has become friends with a few of the ladies there.
One of the older ladies who works in the dressing room has a 30 year old son who is mentally challenged. He is OK to be home during the day on his own but she does call him a few times a day to check on him.
Well just happens this day she calls and asks John Michael what he was doing? John Michael answered " playing with the troll" Mom said your playing wit a troll? John Michael said yep feeding troll skittles under the door.... Wait your feeding a troll skittles under the door. YEP troll skittles under door..... Well the Mom figures she better run home and see what was going on because last time she checked they did not have a troll.
Well it seams the census people are sending people around to help people fill out their census papers, Just so happens they send a midget to John Michael's he thought it was a troll picked him up locked him in the bed room and was feeding him skittles under the door......

What can you make with "Make The Cut"

In light of Provo Craft getting their panties in a wad and filing a lawsuit against
for something I personally think is a load of you know what.
I have desided to use Make The Cut and show the crafting world what Make The Cut can do
So without further ado here it is



yes each brick was chalked by hand and then glued on took forever!

Day 31 - All Mixed Up



Think in thirds on this one -
Here's the challenge:

 
Take an image (digi, stamp, etc.) and break it down into thirds - 1/3 no color, 1/3 patterned paper, 1/3 hand colored (markers, colored pencils, chalks, paint, etc.).

 
It doesn't have to be in perfect thirds, just broken down into three parts

Here is what I did and I don't like it
but my printer is out of ink and it was all
I could think of...
