CRICUT Cartridge: Seasonal: H2O from Memory Miser!
If by chance you just stumbled on to my blog, head over to Pink Cricut and see what Sarah has going on. TODAY she is hosting a "Picnic Themed Blog Hop". I'm 4th on the stop and we have 10 creative ladies participating, so make sure and start at the beginning.
Our projects were to have "something" to do with a picnic and this is what a came up with!!
A center piece:)
This is a quick and easy way to add a bit of fun to your table setting.
I thought the wording was perfect, "No Ants Allowed".
I filled the can with pinto beans.
As far as I know there is not a cricut cart with an ant - so I made one. This is a picture from my gypsy, after I "designed" him/her.

Great centerpiece-I love the watermelon bucket, and all of the details are perfect!
ReplyDeleteWAY cute. GREAT idea on the watermelon bucket, I am on my way off to borrow that idea right now! Now if I can only start my collection of watermelon seeds to fill the bucket (bypassing the pinto beans) ... gosh I'd better start eating and spitting them soon!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWay to go...creating your own ants. I know there have been many comments on Cricut.com MB about the lack of an ant on all the cartridges. Hopefully they will listen and create one soon!
