Feature Key Fun!

Todays' theme At My Cricut Craft Room is using the Shift Key with the Feature Buttons! HUH?! Basically what that means is on the pad overlay (for those of us with a regular Expression or baby bug!) the gray buttons on the left are the "Feature" keys. Some might be a font some might be a saying, just depends on the cartridge! However the twist is, use the feature key THEN press shift! Those are sometimes the most interesting images!
I'm going to show you a few little projects I've done using these guidelines!
First up is Nifty Fifties!

This cute little name signs was made for a friend at school! His daughter Molly joined the family and every girl needs a name plate!
I used my Gypsy to weld the letters together. The background paper is by DCWV, it's sparkly in the flower centers.


Here's her brother's sign! Don Juan for the font! DCWV is the background paper too!


These next pictures are the six pillars of character that our school district has adopted. I used vinyl to make these words a permanent part of the school.


These next two pictures are signs that are in the school. The school store sign is laminated and the pocket to the right shows the different options that can be hung from the sign. There is Velcro to hang each label. I used Plantin Schoolbook for the font and stars.


Hospitality Sign in Teacher's Mail room! Cuttin' Up! of course (my fave!)


The feature keys not only help build layers to the main image, they also have opitons that make them stand out on their own! Explore your cartridges and think outside of the box!

Erica's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop


It's the first weekend of the month and that can only mean one thing....
it's time for the 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop!

If you've landed here then you've arrived from the very talented Tracy at
http://scrappininthewoods.blogspot.com/

If you came from somewhere, please head on back to the start to see all the wonderful creations from my friends!

This month I'm using New Arrival, A Child's Year & Cuttin' Up!
My little sister is pregnant and she is having a boy.
For Christmas I made her and her husband a 6 x 6 scrapbook for their new little boy.
Next, I made a 12 x 12 scrapbook for a friend. Her husband came to me (he's also a friend!) and asked me to re-do her baby book. It was a mess! The pages were literally disintegrating around the pictures. I took it all apart, and the pictures were still in pretty good shape. Here are a few pages from the scrapbook, first I used Cuttin' Up! and A Child's Year.
Next, I used Gypsy Wanderings for a few pages.
The scrapbook was 38 pages by the time I got done!
Stay tuned for more pages in future postings!
