This image is a photocopy of a design, so it picks up the little shadows and such on the paper. Again, each design you trace is going to react a little different. These artifacts should be removed or they will cut with your image. This will depend on the image you are tracing. Now you may notice a few extra things traced. Then, I clicked on the Trace Outer Edge because I only needed the outside edge of the Gingerbread Man. Adjust it until you feel you have the best yellow around the area you want to trace as you can get. Keep in mind that each design you work with will be different and there is no magic number for the threshold or adjustments to the features under the Trace Panel. I increased the threshold on the trace to get the design to show as much yellow on the outer edge of the design and keep it as smooth as possible. Once the design was in my Silhouette Software, I used the Basic Trace feature to trace around the outer edge of the Gingerbread man.

Of all the designs we viewed in the store, she chose one that I had already collected in my library. Guess what she settled on? A reindeer – the very first choice. She thought about a reindeer, an elf, Santa, a boy elf, a girl elf, and about a hundred other options. We went shopping in the Silhouette Design Store for disguises.

The hardest part of this project was getting my 6 year old to decide what she wanted to disguise the gingerbread man as.
