card like I had made earlier this yr.
Some of you may know & others may not but I'm a big
fan of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. You can
see a sketch my daughter created on my blog sidebar.

Try this on the Baker's Twine. Once I wrapped the twine. I did three stripes on each side of the ruler. The outside two need to be close to edges and then middle one. Don't make them too skinny. Once I unwrap I layed it out on scrap paper to check it. A couple times I had to touch a couple places up but after a couple tries and make it wider and heavier I didn't have to do this. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteAhoy matey- quite a good depiction of Captain Jack in the pumpkin! Great layout! Thanks for playing this week at FCCB! :)Amy
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, I love Johnny Depp and his character Captian Jack Sparrow. Love your LO and that embossing folder is perfect for this. Wow and that pumpkin is amazing! What a talented family. :) Thanks for the tip on the other challenges. I wonder if it's too late to enter those since I've already posted the card. I'll have to go check out the challenges.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful layout! I actually thought of you while I was making my project, because I remembered how much you like Captain Jack Sparrow! I knew you'd come up with something great for this challenge. :) I love the pirate ship and the papers you chose. Also pass along to your husband that he does great work on his pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Fantabulous Cricut this week, my friend!

Hubby carved this pumpkin in 2006. Getting ready for this yr's pumpkin. I buy 1 pumpkin 50% off each yr & 1 more each yr at more than 50% off in after Halloween sale but do not wait too long because the better ones sale out. Last night on a blog I saw some artificial Styrofoam pumpkins done with vinyl images created on the Cricut.
ReplyDeletewoot woot for Johny Depp!!! The carving is amazing Melissa! Kudos to the hubby on that one!!! Me and the hubby were just talking about JD and Orlando last night. Ironic!
