We Give YOU thanks

Alright All. I finally decided to finish the We Give thanks project. You all helped me decide what background and then I went to the store, grabbed a frame and then cut it down. Whala!? Is that how you spell it? Anyways, like what ya see? I do too! Here are the instructions again on how to make it just in case you are too lazy to go to our previous post. But really, Just go look...
Fine. Here you go.

Come up with a saying. It could be simple with 3 words or very very simple with 1 word or you can create a sentence. But beware! Your cursive has to be on point! Ha I lied. I do a mix of cursive/normal curly letters. But you DO need to have all the letters connect! Oh and try to avoid the letter i. It’s a pain because of the stupid dot. So some examples: thankful, give thanks, we give thanks (this is the one I used), we are thankful, blah blah blah create your own! Realizing as I typed this I chose the only one with the letter i. If you can figure out a way later tell me!

Okay, grab a piece of construction paper and computer paper and make sure they are the same size. 

Give them each a one-inch boarder around the sides.

Then grab your saying and write it out. Have the letters connect all the way across. Once you’ve got your letters laid out just go and make ‘em fat! Nice and thick letters=easier slicing. 

Take your construction paper and have the good side facing the table and the “ugly” side facing you. Lay down your pencil writing of your saying kissing the ugly side. Make sure they are centered and straight. Then grab a pencil and scribble over the lettering that way the pencil rubs off onto your “ugly” side of the construction paper. It will be backwards and this is what we want!

Once it is all rubbed off, grab your cutting matt and start. You basically trace your wording and deleting the background image. Be calm and go s   l   o   w. If you mess up, your cute little project will be not so cute. There you go! Just use the #15 blade to go around the curves and when you get to a sharp little corner use the #11 blade and make a precise cut. You’ll be fine. Trust me.
