Christmas With the Cricut - Crafty Gift

At our house we like Christmas to last forever... a tradition started by my Grandmother... and one we all embraced on my mom's side of the family!!... my husband seems to like it too... but we all get each other several gifts... one regular gift then several small gifts...so each person has lots to open..then we each take a turn opening gifts one at a time until all the gifts are gone... saving the biggest gifts for last... so when I was to make a crafty gift I thought of this as a wonderful treat for one of the small gifts... I hope that you like it!!!... I have loved loved my stint as guest designer at Christmas With the Cricut and feel so honored to be included in that with somebody as talented as Susan!! ... Be sure and hop over to Christmas With the Cricut and see the other wonderful crafty gifts!!... and go from there to Susan's blog and leave her a comment too! Hugs! Jeannie

CRICUT
From My Kitchen
Rooster cut @ 1 3/4 inches.
I cut him once in brown and once in red for each square...cut away the red parts I needed and added them to the brown rooster cut.
Click on picture below to get the other instructions, they were much clearer instructions if I put them in the picture.
