Happy Friday Everyone!

Here is a different type of sketch from Becky Fleck called Round Maps. I thought it would be a fun thing to try and you know how I am about circles!

Have fun!

Very interesting - and challenging for straight line me

[Salster]

That's pretty nifty!

[stampin-sunnychick]

I just rec'd my updates from Becky too...love this, especially on a regular sized 12x12. I am big on circles myself!

[Scrapbookmonster]

[Mousey'sMom]

I was thinking about doing a round altered altoids tin and this would work out wonderfully. Thanks!

here you go

if it disappears again for some reason here's the link to their page maps http://www.pagemaps.com/jan07roundmaps.htm

scroll down to the bottom of that page.

[kristenhill]

Wow, that looks like it would have awesome possibilities!
Any ideas on how to get perfect circles though??? I don't have the curvy cutter or anything that big, so I might have to trace around something round and cut it out...but I could see that going badly!

[Favorite Grandma]

I haven't tried this yet. but have done others and keep resorting to tracing around large plates, serving platters, bowls, just about anything and everything. If you trace carefully and cut slowly you can make it come out pretty good. One thing I've found is if you are doing it on cardstock - not patterned paper, you can use a sanding block (like for your nails) or even an emery board and smooth out some of the smaller rough spots.

[write2it]

Well, Kristen, what I did was to take a sheet of typing paper and cut it to the square size I wanted the diameter to be. Use newprint if going for the 12 inch. I folded it down pretty narrow. Then I cut it to the shorted edge. Kept trimming it til it looked round. That was my template for the cardstock.
Like Peggy said, cut slow!

[kristenhill]

Thanks girls, I will have to try this when I get the chance (probably not for a little while)! :-D

[Mousey'sMom]

Those are great ideas! I was wondering how I was going to do a big circle also as I got a colluzzle, but I have no templates for it!

I'm starting on mine right now and I have the PERFECT size large plate to trace for the circle. I've used it before and it it exactly 12 inches, so it fits perfectly on a sheet of CS!

[sxtsflwrchld]

Check out post #18!

[9kids]

I had to improvise, since my curvy cutter is waiting for me back in Florida;)

Used my largest CM circle cutter, then played for a looooong time with my photos to get them to fit without cutting off my son's head!

Thanks for looking!

[mama3boys]

I had hard time with this, but I made it!! Wish Cozzule would come with at least 10 to 12" of circle then this would had been a breeze, but I did it!
I did this with the CC118.
