Pirate ship & embossing














happy HALLOWEEN sentiment





Could have used the Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge which had a Pirate ship but no I chose to use the Disney Classics Cricut cartridge which had more detail & thinner lines on the sails. After 3 torn images I got it to work. First tried using some texture paper which I do not seem to be able to cut cleanly since the blade tears it easier.

Noticed something odd and wanted to know if anyone else had this & had noticed or not?:
My Disney Classics overlay template 3rd row 9th image is Captain Hook 1 and my overlay template has image of Figaro cat there just like is on 4th row 8th image

Hello Kitty Happy Birthday Card

Bought Hello Kitty cartridge last yr, 2010, at a Michaels sale for $9.99 and this is my first creation using it.

Some may know & others may not but I am a pilot of single-engine planes. Back in the 1970s, not sure if they still do this, but when a guy completed solo flight & would be getting his pilot license the back of the shirt you were wearing was ripped & hung up for display and if women wanted to participate in this also they could so yes I did so also. I even did a super duper cross country flight with anotehr person flying a single-engine plane, a Grumman American, from Melbourne, FL to San Louis Obispo CA. I channeled my love of piloting into this creation. Even gave Hello Kitty a silk pilot scarf.

Made this Hello Kitty Birthday Card
