~This Weeks Challenge~
Back to School
Create a back to school project

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

I have a lot of fun making 3D items and I just could not resist making this little Knapsack from the Campin Critters Cricut Cartridge!  


I used my Cricut Imagine Machine and the Enjoy the Seasons Imagine cartridge to cut the apple!


As you can tell by this next picture I felt it still needed some more dimension so I created 2 apple cuts (one slightly smaller and layered it for some added dimension!



I hope you can play along with us this week at the Challenge Blog!
