First Shaped album

I made this album for our 3 year old granddaughter Olivia. She has just had an operation and in is now in a hip spiker plaster. I wanted her to have pictures of the family to look at while she was in hospital. She is now home and taking the restraints of being all plastered up very well. She is pictured throughout the book and true to form the first thing she ate after her operation was toast. This is my first attempt at a shaped picture book. I chose Mickey as she had just spent a voucher before going into hospital buying Mickey to go with her Mini mouse.
There are three dogs in the family, that page was fun to do. I cut a westie in chipboard to make a book mark and also a doll. Once I had finished the book  I felt at a loss "what can I do now" I said to hubby,  his reply "housework" Oh horror I won't ask that one again LOL. I will now have to have fun making books for our other grandchildren

I used Design studio and Gypsy. The book is cut at 5.75 inches.
Cartridges used are
Plantin schoolbook, Accent essentials, Animal kingdom, Going places, New arrival, Everyday paper dolls, Create a critter, and of course Mickey and friends.

Toy story Out of this world

Two weeks without being able to blog hop, how did I survive. We couldn't get a decent signal using a dongle. I was very excited when I got back from holiday to a parcel, cricut Toy story. My DH had ordered this without me knowing meant for Christmas! With 6 grandchildren I hope to get lots of play with this cartridge. It is the first time I have made an easel card.

Toy story aliens 3.75 inches, Ooooh! 1.5 inches with and without shadow
Plantin schoolbook numbers 1.5 inches letters 1 inch with and without shadow
Going places world 5.25 inches
The sentiment on the back reads - wishing you a birthday that is out of this world.
