1st Birthday

Firstly, apologies for not updating my blog in a while, been very busy but I'm not sure exactly what I've been up to, I guess life just gets in the way!

Anyway, a friend of mine asked me to make her son a first birthday card, he is, apparently, a big fan of Mr Men and is having a Mr Men birthday party this week.  She was very specific as to what she wanted and then told me she was going to frame it afterwards, so no pressure for making a good one!

Unfortunately my beloved Cricut does not make a Mr Men cartridge, so I had to resort to dragging out my trusty Robo and dusting it down to then try and work out how to use the new software that had been released for it.  After numerous problems, including mat falling me (although i did discover that if you butcher a Cricut mat, it fits very nicely into the Robo and is a fraction of the price).  I eventually found some pictures on the internet and managed to trace them and turn them into cutting files.

Here is the result, and I think it turned out rather well.

Thanks for looking x
