My two youngest grankids were so sad when the Halloween decorations were packed up, so I cut out the Pilgrims and Indians from the Cricut Thanksgiving cartridge for them to put on their mantle. I also cut out the main imagine in thin board (cereal box) to give it some sturdiness. I cut them at 10 3/4" and after assembling and putting them beside each other, noticed that the lady Pilgrim and Indian were taller even though they were cut at the same size. I may remake these for them next year and downsize them just a tad but the grankids were tickled with them and they didn't notice or care that the sizes were a little bit off. I am submitting this for a challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Blog http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2012/11/challenge-me-monday-137-pilrgrims.html . The picture doesn't show the colors because the picture was taken with a cel phone . The sign "Faith, Family, Friends" and the little owl and squirrel on a strawberry are wood and ceramic but could easily be done with the Cricut, too. The faces on the Cricut cuts are hand drawn.
What a great mantle decor! The detail and time is very evident in this project! Thank you for join us over at FCCB! Happy Turkey Day!
