You can also get inspiration! Click through all the Cricut images available on ANY cartridge whether you own it or not. Or get your projects started with the ideas, detailed instructions, and cut files in the Cricut^® Project Center where the design work is done for you!

Feel free to bring additional scraps, embellishments, even your favorite stamps and ink pads to complete your masterpiece!

What do you need to bring: Please bring basic supplies... cutter, scissors, a glue pen, a permanent black FINE point marker, foam tape and glue dots...

If you would like to add to what I have available for you (CTMH B&T Paper, cardstock, embellishments, many different "She" statements to chose from and much more), you are welcome to bring any stamps & blocks inks, embellishments, fabrics, ribbons, lace, baubles... or whatever you'd like!

What is SheArt?:  It is to create a representation of yourself through the usage of mixed media. For this class, it is created on a 6" X 6" canvas, and it is meant to be simply a starting place! I do have some paper doll patterns, however, I encourage you to create yourself from scratch!

This SheArt is one I created
