Festive Fridays - Elf Sign

Today over at My Cricut Craft Room it is time for Festive Friday again. This may be my favorite of her days. You know I love Christmas and all things Christmas. When December 1 rolls around at our house, special little visitors usually arrive. We have elves that come and spend the month of December with us and then travel home with Santa after he delivers our presents on Christmas eve. While they are here they get into all kinds of mischief and fun. They also take part in all of our fun Christmas activities. I decided to make a sign the elves could leave on doorknobs or dresser drawer knobs and things of that sort to show places around the place they hang out. I am thinking like on the playroom door to help explain the mess they made while the girls were at school. I wanted to share my sign with you today.

I used 3 cartridges to make this: Paper Doll Dress Up, George Basic Shapes, and Old West.

George Basic Shapes:
3 stars cut at 5 1/2 inches
In the picture above it kind of looks like three different size stars but I think that must have been the angle I took the picture.  They were all cut at 5 1/2.
Old West:
All cuts made using the Flourish key
Jingle - cut at 1inch
Was Here - Cut at 1 1/4 inch

Paper Doll Dress up:
All cuts made at 3 1/2 inches
Body
Elf - main cuts and Accesories 1,2,&3 regular and shift keys

Some Close Ups:



A few other things: I just punched hole with a regular hole punch and used ribbon to connect the stars. I heat sealed all ends of the ribbon.  I used a small star confetti piece for the dot on the i in Jingle.  My favorite touch is the googly eyes on the elf.  They really added alot.  Hope you enjoyed my touch of Christmas.
