First of all....we need to remember what a cute Cy Cyclone the Cricut machine can make.....
So I got the great idea that I could make a stencil and create cool cookies for Joel's grad party.
To do this I had to simplify the cut (ignore the yellow below - this isn't the cut. rather I would color the cookie yellow and add the "I")
So far so good. I had to find a good plastic and I tried a couple of things....
I bought spray food color and tried that......
uh NO!
The spray bled under the stencil :0(
It was a special bummer because I drove to Walmart at 9 o'clock Sunday night to buy the spray because I was so excited to try it.
Then today, I made a thicker stencil (with new plastic...something I had around the house - thank goodness I didn't buy something else for this project)....
Not as bad, but still doesn't look at all like Cy the Cyclone.....rather it looks like a horse-rabbit!
While I will never be a cookie-designer.....I think Anna has excellent potential (see below).
I made some cookies for Ken to take to his mom on Wednesday and Anna accidentally ate one. (She asked if she could, but I thought she was talking about the food that was near the cookie, but she was talking about the cookie!) Anyway....She went to the freezer and got out another cookie that I made last week to decorate the day before the grad party. And this is what she created!
Go Anna!! (I think I will have a good helper on the 21st)
