Thanks-Using Cover Plate Negatives

Make It Monday #177: Using Cover Plate Negatives

I was inspired by this weeks Make It Monday Challenge # 177 over at PaperTrey Ink because I usually trash my negatives or put them aside to hopefully one day use them.  Laurie Willison shows a great tip on an easy way of placing your negatives on your card for your background.  You can see it here.

Happy Birthday with a Zoom!!!

I used my Cricut Explore for the First time and I have to say that I am very impressed.  I have never had much luck with cutting very small pieces, and usually end up not using them or getting frustrated.  But, do you see how small those stars are on the Windshield.  The Explore had no problems at all cutting them out and they even look like....well, stars.
