Shall We Dance Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am participating in a blog hop using the Cricut cartridge that is exclusive to Cricut Circle Members. It's a cartridge called Shall We Dance. This cartridge will remind you of the Cricut Lite cartridge called Twinkle Toes. It has some beautiful images for anyone who is interested in dance.

Please look around if you are just stopping by my blog. However, if you would like to join in on the fun and see what these amazing ladies have created, start at the beginning of the hop at greengirl's blog. She has done a wonderful job of putting this hop together. If you are following along, you should have arrived from Kristen's blog.


For my project I decided to make a set of luminaries. I used George & Basic Shapes to get a square. I used the tag 1 feature of the Shall We Dance cartridge to get the sides of the luminary. I used the Gypsy to design it. I sized everything at 3 inches on real dial size.




After I welded the tags to the base square shape, all I had to do is cut. I used black cardstock form Recollections and some red and green tissue paper.

It's very hard to see the battery operated tea lights in the photos.

It's a basic project that can go together very fast.


In case you get lost along the way, here are the participants of the hop...

My project for the hop is a Snowman Tissue Box Cover. I printed two sheets of pattern paper from the Imagine's Mr. Frosty cartridge. I love the patterns on this cartridge.



Unfortunately, I don't remember where I received the pattern for the tissue box cover. I used the Gypsy to cut out the shapes of the tissue box.

The box is cut out in two pieces and is easily put together.

On this side I used the snowman from the Snow Friends Seasonal Cartridge.
I lightly inked the edges of all of the images so the image would pop out.

This image is from the Winter Frolic Cartridge.

Smiley Faces for both the image and phrase

I used Winter Frolic for this image and the phrase.

This box is going on my desk at work.

The Blog Candy that I'm offering is 4 yards of Twine in assorted colors. This would be great to use on your Christmas cards and other projects. To win, please leave a comment and a way for me to contact you. I would love it if you would become a follower as well. I will use Random.org to pick a winner on Monday.
