Old Mr. Scarecrow & A Fun Prize

Hello My Friends,

Today is an extra happy day for me because I was so excited to be asked to be a guest designer for Die Cutting Divas.  The theme is "Fall Colors"  I decided to make this scarecrow from SVG Cuts Leaves are Falling Kit.

Isn't he a fine looking fellow?  He is basically all boxes.  His hat is a box, his head is a box, his arms are boxes, his body is a box and his legs are boxes.  SVG Cuts has wonderful videos that show you how to put together their products.  I love them.  But I do have a few tips of my own.  First, when I am using paper that doesn't have a design, I always use Bazzill textured paper; it has a right side and a wrong side.  This makes it easier to identify the right side of the pattern.  In the video you see these gals putting these projects together really fast; they do this for editing,  The glueing process takes time.  Slow down, take time for each piece to dry before you move on to the next piece.
