Cooking With Cricut Challenge #99 - Back to School


Welcome To Funky Cards
Cooking With Cricut-Challenge #99
Back to School

I can't even believe it is already time to start thinking about back to school projects!  As you know, if you have been following me for awhile, this is my SENIOR year in high school:)  I can't wait to graduate.  So I guess I am excited to start school this year.  Senior year!!

Every year I decorate the outside of my school  binders.  I don't use my friends' pictures, but pretty paper and Cricut cut outs:) I can always spot my binder in a pile of binders!  For this week's challenge, back to school project, I decided to decorate my English binder so you could see what one of my binders looks like!


This project stars with a 12" x 12" patterned piece of paper cut to 9.5" x 11". This is the exact size that will slip into the plastic cover of a binder. In this case you can see that I cut and tore two different pieces of patterned paper equal to 9.5" x 11''.  To accent the clocks on the paper, I chose to add a grandfather clock using the Formal Occasions Cricut cartridge. 

In addition, the owl was added for charm and character using the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge.  She was inked around the edges to give her a bit of pop:)

The word "English" was cut from the Jubilee Cricut cartridge.   The project is ready to slip under the protective , clear, plastic cover of my English binder.  I left it out so you can see it better.  It is a perfect fit every time!!
