This week starts the beginning of another challenge over at FCCB! We want to see all your projects that have to do with your ABC's and 123's. For my project, I wanted to make an ABC workbook for my son who just started preschool this month. I saw an idea on Pinterest and just elaborated on it a bit. I also discovered some awesome Gel Pens that work in Cricut machines to draw images on your paper! Cri-Kits are the name of them and I think they are fabulous! I have even put a video together for you to see how they work in detail. What's even better is that you have a chance to win a set of these amazing pens over at FCCB, so be sure to link up your projects!!! Anyway, my project came together using the Zutter Bind-it-All, the Your Story laminating/binding machine, some paper from DCWV All About Boys mat stack, and of course the Cri-Kit Gel Pens. Basically, I drew (with the Cri-Kits) all the ABC's upper and lower case from the Nate's ABC's cartridge (Font 2), laminated the paper they were drawn on and bound them all together to create a dry-erase workbook for my son. Please check out my video to see this project, the pictures just weren't working :) I used chip board for the front and back cover and used Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive to attach the fun DCWV Alphabet and Polka-Dot paper. I am so glad that I was introduced to the Cri-Kit gel pens, the magnetic holder is ingenious and really makes a difference when drawing with your machine! I can't wait to see what you all come up with for this challenge!!!
