Cricut Fanatics daily project

Welcome to another project for Cricut FANatics. I am sharing a quick and simple project. A couple weeks ago, we went to the Aquarium and my 3 year old granddaughter loves penquins so her parents arranged for her to do the meet the penquins. She got to go into a special room and learn all about them and get to touch and see them other than behind glass. She was so excited and had the best time ever! I thought in addition to adding this to her scrapbook, I would make her a little frame to put in her room. I used the cartridges Base Camp and Animal Kingdom.  It was fun to create this easy project for her.

Exploring Cricut Daily Project

Welcome to the Tuesday daily project at Exploring Cricut. Today I used the Art Deco cartridge. I have to admit, I bought this cartridge for under $10 on ebay and when it came I thought what would I use it for. I decided to make a decoration for my craft room. I love how it turned out. I think I can find other uses for this cartridge and love the font!  Below are pictures of the piece before I did anything and my measurements.

I base painted it a beige color in the making memories paints that I had in my stash that needed to be used up!  The color went on good and only took two coats.

This is how it looked before I got started. It was just a wood piece called canvas I got at Walmart for around $5.00. I think it is a 10 x 10 or what the paper said, but was not exact.  Below are the materials and cuts.  I modge podged this on.
