Cricut Expression to the rescue in more ways than One!

My daughter had a costume contest for the fair for dog club. We wanted a fire truck to put on the side of the wagon for the dog to ride in. He was a firefighter and she was a dalmation. This is what we came up with. It had to be an image that was simple. She was responsible for making her costume. I cut it and she glued together.
It's the fire truck image from EDPD manipulated with the gypsy so I could cut it 18" tall x approx 37 inches long. This was achieved using multiple cuts and overlapping image together. It required 4 cuts per side out of poster board and then 4 cuts per side out of red cardstock.  We also cut the ladder in brown out of 2 addnl cuts.  We cut the fire hydrant out from the same cart and stapled to the front of the wagon.





BTW, she got Grand Champion in her class.
