My Altered Cricut!!!!!

2009-05-03T23:17:00.001-07:00

Okay so I took a huge risk and painted my Cricut. My husband thought I was crazy but I knew I could do it. I didnt take it apart. I just taped up every part I didnt want to paint with painters tape and used Krylon spray paint. The color is called watermelon. I also used some rub-ons for some more decoration. Oh I also painted my JukeBox lol. I went a little crazy with my spray can. Hope you enjoy. Oh by the way I didnt paint the top because I have something else planned for it, I just have to figure out how to pull it off. Thanks for looking.

I'm making the cake for my little cousins sweet sixteen tea party. The favor boxes are going to be filled with goodies that my aunt bought, i think it was mini nail files and lip glosses.

The first tier is cut at 9 1/2 , the second is cut at 8 and the third at 7. i used me and my big ideas victorian paper that I got from joanns when it was on sale for 6 for .96 cents. It took 9 favor boxes for one layer. I placed the the first layer on a styrofoam board that I covered with paper. These pictures arent of the final cake because I handed it off to my aunt so she can fill it with the items she bought but I will take a picture of it at the tea party and post it on Monday. Well thanks for looking.
