Techniques on Tuesday...er Thursday.

I'm not a huge fan of things that are cutesy so I tend not to use my Cricut for making embellishments. Instead I often make background elements like the artisan label shown in the layout below.

Look for this project in the Cricut Holiday Ideas Book.

This project will return in November 2012.
