Alphabet Soup

Three or four years ago, Bob had a box wrapped up for me for Christmas.

For once, I had absolutely no idea what it was.

Even when I opened it, I wasn't sure what it was.

Somehow (how did this happen?!), he found out about a new

scrapbooking tool before I did.

This was when the Cricut first came out...since then there have been several upgrades.

But I love the one I have.

This past week, I spent some time in Ryan's classroom.

His teacher does not like to do crafts.

She had me working on some signs for her room.

The kids had made up their own classroom rules; she gave me

a printed off piece of paper and asked if I'd adhere it to construction paper.

I said that I would, of course, do that for her.

But that I would really like to take it home to work on...maybe use a few scrapbooking tools?

My version of alphabet soup...a little on the dry side.

Laying it all out

If you have a Cricut and use either the 1", 1.25" or 1.5" options for cutting out items,

especially letters, I highly recommend spending less than $10 on a Xyron

create~a~sticker. These tiny letters are impossible to apply glue stick or

any other kind of adhesive without making a mess. This is super simple to use and lasts forever.

I bought this the same year I got the Cricut and just now, after this project, need

to buy a refill.

All done.

Yep...she's a fan of the blue and orange!
