This past week has been crazy, what with not feeling well enough to explore my Cricut Cartridges, I feel like something is missing in my life. Now that I have started to feel better I pulled out my little Cricut bug (aka Eddie) and told him I was sorry we hadn't played much this past week. I pulled out the Stone Script?Cartridge to explore and see what I could create. I've also been thinking about Fathers Day; yes, it is just around the corner and will be here before you know it. I have come up with an idea for a Fathers Day gift that you can do as a family.

This cartridge comes with two creative features, Shadow and Blackout. I love this new font--it's different than the other font cartridges in the Cricut family and I think it compliments the Cricut cartridges very well. Obviously the title tells you what type of font it is, but I really like the way the letters have their own character. I know this doesn't make sense, but look at my "Believe" picture and you will understand. I found this metal sign at my local craft store and decided that I wanted to add some special word in my front room. I used the brown vinyl and cut out the letters for the word "Believe." Then I placed them in the middle of the metal sign. WOW!! My sign looks so good; I gave myself a little pat on the back and immediately found a place to put it up in my front room. My mother's birthday is coming up and this would make a great present for her, so I think I will buy another one for her. This project took me ten minutes to make. I think it took me longer to clean up than it was to actually put the project together.

The other project that I enjoyed making using this font is called a magnet board. I found a metal vase and turned it upside down (see pic). Next, I added some ribbon and then made my little magnets to use on my metal stand. I think a straight peace of metal would work as well, but this was what I could find in my craft store. I used the chipboard and cut out rectangles, using the same size of rectangles I cut out some cardstock as well. I glued these together and then added my word "Dad." Once the rectangles were finished I would suggest putting them through a laminator before adding some magnets squares to the back. These work well for holding your children?s or grandkid's photos. Other sayings that would look good on magnet squares are: "#1 Dad," "Super Dad," "Grandpa," "Father," "Papa," ect.... I liked the upside down vase because I could decorate all four sides with photos. This would make a great Fathers Day gift, and the gift could stay home or be taken to the office. Either way, I am sure he would love it because you and the?kids made it yourself--with the help of your Cricut of course.

This font will make a great title or side bar for your scrapbook and it would make wonderful smaller titles under pictures. The style of the lines catches your eyes and helps draw attention to those special moments on your paper. If you are looking for a different type of font then this the one you need to check out. I am so glad that I have it as part of my collection.

Check out next week as I wrap up the explorations, in the solutions cartridges. Happy Cricuting my fellow Cricutears!!!!
