June MCCR 100 Cart Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the My Cricut Craft Room 100 cart Blog Hop.  This is my first hop with MCCR--so exciting!  You should have hopped over from Luisa's blog at www.lepaperstudio.blogspot.com.  If you're just joining us and would like to start at the beginning please go to www.mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com so you don't miss a thing :-)

Okay, I have two projects today.  I've made a t-shirt decorated with heat vinyl:
Sorry for the glare on the plastic!  I used Plantin Schoolbook for the 'M's @3" and Soccer cart for the trophy @ 5".  You can faintly see I trimmed off the bottom part of the trophy with a craft knife-- so I just had the soccer ball left.
The finished t-shirt.



 
My second project is a mini album of my daughter's first year of soccer. 
I used The Paper Studio -Chevrons (single sheets) and Uptown Flair stack for all papers.  When I Was a Kid cart for the poloroid frame @ 4", heart @ 2".  The First Few Years cart for the arrow @ 1".  Boys Will Be Boys cart for my daughter's name @ 1".  Elegant Edges cart for the pages of the book: burst@6", eyelt2@6", flrsh2@ 6", swirl1 @6" using the book feature.  I cut the pages using cardboard from cereal boxes and my deep cutting blade @ 6, max pressure, low speed, multi @2.  Remember to flip your image when cutting your paper for the back of the pages.
