Here is my project for today:  Sorry for some of the blurry pics,  I used my camera on my phone.  Next time I'll use my camera...

I was in a die cut swap and Here was the first project I did.  Supplies:  Mini Monsters cartridge, printed paper, black cardstock, google eyes, red stickles and adhesive.   The spider on the mini monster cartridge has a face on it.  I didn't want my cricut to cut out the face so I used a feature on my gypsy to hide the face before cutting the spider.

                                                                       

The spider was cut at 4" with the printed paper first, then with the black cardstock. 

Next I cut the legs off of the printed paper, and stuck the printed oval onto the black spider cut out.

Last I decorated the spiders with googly eyes and a red stickled mouth.  I think they turned out pretty cute! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

 Now on to your next stop!
