 Here are some photo's I took of the mats I made.  This one is 5x12 and cost was about $5 after coupon to Joanns.  That includes the magnet sheet and Little B guide.

This photo includes both versions I made.  The smaller one is using the Magnetic Spacer Plate from Spellbinders.  I did not adhere this, I use the white chipboard as a shim.

 Reverse side.  This one was about $10 after a coupon to Joanns.

Creating my own patterns & die cut files

New creations being listed on  Ebay & Etsy.  I love creating my own cut files for my cricut.  I am just getting started with my lil boy and girl coming up with cute clothes and settings.  I will be trying my hand at chalking to enhance my cutouts.  I can see my OCD kicking in!  I'd also like to try using Copic markers.  That will be a future adventure.  Enjoy!
