Pumpkin Carving

Our Granddaughter was over and we had to carve a pumpkin for Halloween.

Well Chuck got in on the action making this his first Cricut project.

Here is the step by step process.


First cut off the top


Then our granddaughter Scooped out the middle


She said it was gooey


Our Granddaughter Picked out the pumpkin face from the Pumpkin Carving cartridge.
I cut it out on the Cricut Mini.


Chuck traced the face on the pumpkin


Here it is.


Then Chuck carved the face


Then our granddaughter pulled out the pieces to the face.


What a great team!!


Our granddaughter wants to keep the cut out pieces.


Here's a close up of it all lit up.


Now I get to scrapbook it!!

Happy Halloween!!!!
