The first one is a challenge I did for the Circle MB. The challenge was to use a second 'machine' in addition to the Cricut. I LOVE my Xyron thanks to Allison and Caroline on the board. The Xyron makes glittering a snap-- the glitter is adhered permanently and smoothly every time.
This is a surprise door decoration for my daughter's room. I cut all the 'dancers' from Twinkle Toes at 7". I drew on the faces using a Zig Millenium 01 and Sakura white jelly roll pens with colored pencils. In between the dancers, letters spell her name. For those, I used Mini Monograms. The background scallop was cut at 3" and the front circle with the letter was cut at 2-3/4" using the 'dots' feature.
For fun, these are each of the dancers:
They are all connected with brads. I just had so much fun with this!
My next project was the Weekly Blog Challenge #12: Nine Ladies Dancing.
For this project, I used one of the dancers from Shall We Dance. I discovered an omission on the layers for this figure-- the hair is missing at her shoulder on the right. I hand-cut that to look more like the cart. I cut the character at 8-1/4" and then just chopped off her bottom half. I cut a second figure, cutting off her head and hands in order to create a pattern for her new shirt.
I hand-cut her top, adding the loop side of adhesive velcro for the fur trim, as well as buttons and jewelry.
I cut four packages from Sweethearts at 1-1/2", and then hand-cut the remaining 5 gifts, since the requirement of this challenge was to include nine of any one thing. All elements were adhered to or pop-dotted onto cardstock that I cut to fit my envelope and finished (after folding for the card) at 6-1/4" x 9-1/4".
I love doing challenge projects and really had so much fun completing these! I am loving these new dance cartridges, dancing or not!
It is the weekend before Christmas and I still haven't put up the tree but mass tonight was beautiful in the Cathedral of the Assumption and I was reminded of the hope and anticipation that comes during advent. Hug your family and say a prayer for peace this year.

Very nice Nadia! Love the outfit on your lady, especially the jewlery!
I love your card! It is such a great idea to use just part of the dancer. I have no idea what to do with all those dancers and this really helps
Wow what a great card and the detail is great! Thanks for sharing!
I really love how you alter cricut images... my mind just doesn't see that kind of stuff. As always...your project is simply amazing Nadia!
