Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog invites you to create a project with your Cricut using a letter or a number.

 

Here is my project for you:

A spooky (not really) card featuring Mama Mesh and the Cricut Cart CM Traveler. I also used the Mar-Kits Pens from Cri-Kits (mini sharpies and holder) with my Cricut to outline the title word before I cut it out. This technique helps the word stand out, sort of like inking it without the mess.
