A while back, I finally broke out my Cricut and Gypsy after a LONG sabbatical. It's not that I don't love my dear friends but it seems my time is so limited. Just like a teenage crush, my attention turned to my new love, my Copics. And unfortunatly just like the sad mop (in the Swiffer commercials) my old toys were left behind. That commercial just cracks me up. Not sure why, but it does! (LOL)
Anywho... I decided to rekindle the romance after seeing a post on the Cricut Messageboard about the Heritage cartridge. Let me confess... I have tons of cartridges and some I have never (GASP) used! There must be a twelve step program for this, right? Thanks to whoever came up with this brilliant idea! They used the wrought iron gate welded together 4 times to make a fabulous background. They used it on a scrapbook page which undoubtedly was much easier to cut. I tried to do this for a small card and was left punching out lots of little hanging chads.... ARGGG...
But the results were well worth it. I especially love the details added by paper piecing the headband and dress. I used a little Chatterbox paper snippet I had to add a little pizzaz! It turned out so cute! I hope you find it beautiful too! Thanks so much and have a wonderful week!

P.S. Watch my blog in the next few days as I am going to post instructions on coloring pumpkins! I have had quite a few questions on that and my poinsettias. I plan to do both this week!
