First and most importantly thank you all so much for your prayers this past week! … They mean so so much to me!… Hugs to you all!!

This is my BBTB2 Design Team card for this week ….. We were to use the dress form cut from Forever Young… and this is what I came up with… the paper I used did all the work on this card… so the layout is very simple… the paper is from Tim Holtz and there is a picture of the paper pack on my video…. Be sure and check out the other beautiful projects the design team made over at BBTB2... Thank you so much for stopping by to see my card!… Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Forever Young

Dress Form and its layer… I cut two of the top layer cut @ w 1.58 x h 4.30 … on the Cricut I would cut these @ 4 ¼ inches.

I used my paper trimmer to cut the frames piece for the pictures…the pictures came from the paper pack… and were perfect for this card… I could just see these ladies making their pretty dresses using a dress form… the pictures were 1 x 1 ¼ inches…so I cut the frames ¼ an inch wider and taller at 1 ¼ x 1 ½..

Card base is 4 ¼ x 5 ½, Frame Piece 4 x 5 ¼ , Background piece 3 ½ x 4 ¾… these cuts are on the inside and outsides of my cards… Sentiment piece 2 ¾ x 4 inside only….. I cut all of these with my paper trimmer.

The large square and the smaller square were placed on the mat as a guide for me so I would know if the pictures once framed were going to fit on the page....and if the dress form would fit beside them...I deleted these before cutting.

CRICUT & GYPSY

Sentimental

Lamp its shadows and all 4 or its layers cut @ h 3.56... set the height and the widths will be right... the lamp shadow that isn't in red isn't welded to that small rectangle...its there to cut the right shape out in the rectangle to make the lamp layers sit right...I also liked the effect better.... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 4 inches... I wouldn't worry about the un-welded shadow cut.

Stamp shaped cuts cut @ w 1.46 x h 1.74... on the Cricut I would cut these at 1 3/4 inches.

Give A Hoot

Flourishes cut @ w 2.01 x h 0.65 ... on the Cricut I would cut these at 1/2 an inch.

Forever Young

Lady Silhouettes cut @ w 0.66 c h 1.40.. do not weld this cut to the rectangle behind it...so it will be cut out of the center.... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 1/4 inch in black and glue on top of the square.

George

All the rectangles are actually squares cuts with the height and width off to get the sizes I needed.

Squares welded to the lamp shadows and grouped then cut @ w 0.66 x h 1.40...lay out one of these then duplicate so they will be exactly the same... pop the first one from the background... then pop the other from that... using the Cricut I would cut these on my paper trimmer at width 3.5 x h 1 3/4 an inch and then glue the shadow into place.

Smaller Square for the sentiment cut @ w 3.41 x h 1.52...place the lamp shadow over this... in the right place... but do not weld so you get the round cut in the corner...see picture.... to line this up right I placed it over the welded pieced... the grouped and moved...using the Cricut I would cut this on the paper cutter at a little little more than 3 inches x 1 1/2 inches.

Square with the silhouette cut out cut @ w 1.19 x 1.46 ...using the Cricut would cut these with the paper cutter 1/4 inch wider and taller than your stamp cut.

*The lamp shadow that is not welded is placed off the paper some because you don't need that  lamp except for what it does to the square.
