BBTB2: Cricut - Is it Frosty the Snowman?

 It's not really Frosty, but this layered snowman has just as much fun personality.   This is my first take on making a layered 'mandala-type' die cut.  It is not hard, however, it took me a while to assemble.  It takes a bit to cut the foam adhesive so skinny as to not show between the layers.   This cute guy is about 8 inches tall, I wouldn't suggest making it any smaller.

 You still have a few weeks to link up your Cricut created card, layout or project to Bitten by the Bug2.  Our Christmas challenge is still going strong, we are on our 2nd Linky, the first one filled up.

 Happy Holidays Everyone    

BBTB2: Cricut - Polar Express Train Layout

 My grandson loves trains, he has a few sets, including this one he got for Christmas last year.  I have had this layout saved in my mind for a few years, and had an example from Pat Johnson who designed the original years ago.  Her train, which I used, is made from Basic Shapes.  The original design is pictured at the bottom of this post.  I finally got around to making it, only 11 months after Christmas!  

The layout fits in nicely with our challenge for the next 4 weeks - Wrap It Up.  The stacked gifts are for journaling and I also added gifts on the train car.  Used print and cut to write Polar Express 2019 on the train engine.  This was a fun layout to make. We are partnering with the Double Trouble blog, so the rules are a little different.  Go on over to the Bitten by the Bug2 blog for all the information.  Have a great holiday everyone!
