Cartridge Showcase: A Child's Year

Happy Monday!  We hope you all had a wonderfully crafty weekend!  Welcome to our Monday Cartridge Showcase.  Chef Larelyn is taking over the blog today and sharing some of her favorite projects made with the Cricut A Child's Year cartridge.  All the sweetest childhood memories are captured in classic silhouettes on the A Child’s Year cartridge. Document the adventures of your little ones with the variety of playful scenes.  This cartridge includes: Monogram, Icon, Card, Tag, Font, and Shadow creative features.

So without further ado . . . here's Larelyn!

Hello my crafty friends!  I'm so happy to share one of my favorite cartridges with you today.  This cartridge is one that I was almost positive I didn't need or want.  I figured that since my daughters were grown, I don't have grand kids, and I'm no longer teaching there was no reason to get this cartridge.  Boy was I wrong!!  A Child's Year has become one of my go-to all-time favorite cartridges.  For me, it has everything:   adorable silhouette images with shadows, scalloped and balloon monograms, icons, tags, a great font, and a card feature.  What else would you need?  Here are some projects that I've created using A Child's Year:

This card uses the base-shift and shadow image on page 40.

The second card uses the base image and shadow on page 47.  I also used the icon from that page.

My next project is a page layout using the base and shadow image on page 32.

I love the scalloped oval on this cartridge.  I used it on this card.  It is the monogram found on page 57.

This cute little witch is found on page 53 using the shift key.  I also welded the font for the sentiment.

Next, this was my CWC project last week.  I used the inside cut from the monogram found on page 69 for the tag.

This project uses the tag feature on page 49. It's a box that holds seven Hershey Treasures chocolates.

And finally, I used the card feature (shift) on page 48 for the scalloped mat on this card. 

I hope you can see the versatility of this "oldie but goodie" cartridge.  When I'm in a designing slump, I turn to A Child's Year and can almost always find the perfect images to make a project come to life.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

Larelyn
