My finals are over now, so I have much more time to make pretty things to inspire you all. What a relief! I have been so overloaded with things to do lately, it will be nice to have that all pared down a bit! However, I wish I could take a long winter's nap ;-)
Today's project is a Christmas present I made for my sometimes cantankerous grandma. She has two Boston terriers that she just adores, so when I saw the Boston terrier image on the Pet Shop cartridge I knew immediately that something was going to be made with it. The little puppies names are Honey and Sugar, which I think are great names! Now, she is impossible to please but I am hoping that she will actually like this. Fingers crossed!
Also, I used the Cricut Craft Room Exclusive Banners cartridge. I have to tell you, I filled up an entire 12" x 12" mat with these banners at various sizes for later. I just love these and am so happy to have as many as I want at whatever size I want! Don't you just love that!

| I cut the Boston's out at 4". I am not sure the size of the banner since it was cut on CCR. Since I am not as versed with CCR as I would like, I do not have a file yet to give you. As soon as I figure that out I will start posting them for you all to have! |

Very cute project! Pet shop is on my (evergrowing) wish list :D. One thing I really loved about CCR (before I had to delete it on advice of PC's customer service) was working with ALL the carts. I just haven't gotten around to trying it again because I've had so much to do lol.
Even if she is cantankerous she should love it. Very thoughtful of you Mel.

This wall hanging is so cute!! I would love to make one of these too, but I don't think the cartridge has a German Shorthaired Pointer on it.

This is so cute. If she really loves her dogs I can't imagine her not liking it. You'll have to let us know.
