The first thing I saw was a baby chick with a bow but I didn't want to design it because I felt that others would see the same thing and I wanted to be different. When I flipped the cutter upside down I saw a giraffe but again I thought others would see that too. I decided to push my mind to see something so out there that my design would be unlike anyone else's.
This is what I came up with. A monster using two of Cristin's favorite colors--pink & green.
Initially I was happy with it but then I started thinking that it needed something more so I added teeth and a tongue to it. This made all the difference. My pink monster came to life.
Look at all the other designs that everyone came up with. It's so neat to see how one cutter can create so much. Look at #11. Lene had a monster in mind too. Yay! Great minds think alike.

Thanks again Cristin for letting me be a part of this fun challenge. You are not only a talented cookie artist and a great friend but now you have a new talent of making your own cutters. Pretty cool in my book. It was fun collaborating with the CP's again.
What a cute post Melissa! You're always such a sweetie! I love how your mind works. You saw two things that I didn't even see in the cutter and then you pushed even beyond that! I'm always so impressed by you and your amazing talent! I love your monster!!! and you!
