Working in two 3rd grade classrooms, and being a remedial reading paraprofessional, I decided for Valentine's Day to make the student's their own personalized bookmarks for their books. (They get way too much candy from everyone else!) I combined three Cricut cartridges to make these, George, PDDU, and Cricut Keystone. It took me about 3 hours to make 36 bookmarks. I then brought them to school so I could laminate them (one of the perks of working in a school), used by Big Crop-A-Dile to punch eyelets, and added the ribbon. They got a big kick out of them. (Of course, I did also give them a heart shaped lollipop to go along with them).
Here is a card that I have made several times now and thought I would share - it is a 6x11.5 gate fold card - made especially for a wedding or anniversary. The cartridges that I used were the Paper Doll Dress-up and George & Basic shapes. The file is sized so that the dolls will fit perfectly inside. I have grouped together the items that I wanted to cut out of the same color papers. I hope you like the file and enjoy making one of your own! By the way I also designed an envelope (made with George) and you can find that in my next blog entry!!
