I GOT A GYPSY!!!!!!!!

I am so excited. I was finally able to get a gypsy. I have had a couple hundred bucks set aside for months now waiting for the price to come down enough to make it fairly affordable. Oh my crafts had them on sale and accepted a coupon on top of that and I was able to get it at $159.00!!!!!! Couldnt pass it up. It came Thursday and so far I have had no issues. Yippee!! I have sync'd it, updated it and loaded all of my carts to it and done some simple cuts to make sure it all works and WOW I love it!!! Cant wait to really start to use it!

Sour cream container treat boxes

Here's my take on the sour cream container treat boxes. I made these with 41/4 x 51/2 pieces of cardstock. I ran the white one through my cuttlebug with the hearts folder (kinda hard to see) and used my MS scoreboard to faux crimp the ends. The red one I used red carstock and layerd the white lattice cut with my cricut using the wildcard cart. (It somewhat matches my Husbands valentine card posted in an earlier post) I did not "crimp" the ends on this one. I made the tags and tied onto the tops. They are filled with Hersey Kisses.

Vinyl saying for my craft room

I cut this today using Lyrical letters for the saying and Home decor for the butterfly. I really like it but it is not level per my husband and I will need to fix it.

Stamped image swap

Here is a card I have created for a stamped image swap. The swap was quite small so I was only required to make 5.

Valentine card

Valentine card I recently made. I used a stampin up stamp set for the sentiment, truck and hearts. I used glimmer mist on the truck (does not show well in pic). I used swiss dots Cuttlebug folder on the silver metallic paper and heart blocks Cuttlebug folder on the red background paper.

Doggie treat Recipe Swap on Cricut MB

Here is my swap cards I made for the Doggie Treat Recipe Swap. I have not done a layout before and thought it went pretty well. I used Paper Pups (of course), Lyrical letters, Everyday paper dolls and From my kitchen carts to complete the layout.

Target Mailboxes

These are so cute, I made them for my son and his girlfriend for Valentines day. I got the idea from watching one of the The Pink Stampers videos. Kinda funny mailing mailboxes. lol

Silver tray altered to be a plaque

I got the silver tray on clearance at M's and altered it with vinyl and paper.

I used Calligraphy collection cart for the letters and flower stem and Indie Art for the butterflies.

I used black vinyl for all and then pink and creme paper was also cut for layering of the butterflies and flowers. I used flowersoft for the butterfly bodies and pink stickles on the wings and around the tray.

Pics are not so good, bad lighting and the tray is very shiny so the flash really made it worse. I will try to take new pics tomorrow in better lighting.

Dollar Bin Michaels mini Lanterns

I bought 4 of these and they have other colors as well but I liked these, I am going to use them this spring at the camper. I etched the glass with various images cut from my cricut. I used Lifes a beach, walk in my garden and my campout carts for the cuts. I really like how they turned out. Its really hard to take pics of glass, I tried everything but still has glare.

Valentine 2010

Here is my first Valentine card of the season, not my idea. I saw this card on the cricut messageboard posted by flowerdisco and just loved it so I decided to try my hand at it and here is my take on it. I used the wildcard cricut cart for the majority and George for the hearts.

Blinged Bug - still needs something.....

I have blinged my bug!! I added the vinyl, then thought it needed some sparkle so I added rhinestones to the birdie eyes. But I still think it needs something else. I will have to figure out where I can add some more sparkle.

Christmas pint size paint cans

Here are 2 pint size paint cans I used as stockings for my son and his girlfriend. I used the clear ones for this to make it easier. I cut the paper at 5 3/4 x 12 and put it inside of can, the top of the paper tucks under the lip of the can. I used wired piping on the handle, and for the top I punched two holes with my big bite and inserted a floral pick in each one and twisted them together on the underside so they would stay.

Doggie treat containers

I made these doggie treat containers using vinyl cut with cricut expression. I used paper pups cartridge.

The one in white is for my baby and the one in brown is for a friends.

Cookie Jar etching

I etched this Christmas tree cookie jar. I used the Christmas / noel cricut cartridge to create the stencil. I will try to get a better pic and edit.

Just Buggin challenge 16 Santa's Helper

Here is my take on the Santa's helper challenge for just buggin!! I created this for my mom. I used the Christmas/Noel and Jubilee cricut cart for the cuts. I used black and white vinyl and set between 2 pieces of glass in a floating frame. The frame is wide and will be perfect for sitting on a table top or she can add satin ribbon and hang. Thanks for looking and make sre you check out our Just buggin blog, there is really great inspiration there!

Super easy make and take Christmas cards I made

I made these 6 cards at my LSS with a great group of ladies. It was so much fun and sooo easy. Click on any picture to enlarge.

Just Buggin Challenge 14 Layers

This is my first challenge with the just buggin design team. I am really excited and cant wait to do more!!! For this card I used the George cartridge. This is my least used cart I have I think. I almost always forget I even have it. I layered the sentiment 3 times using the shadow, blackout and the basic cut. I also layered the 1 inch flowers with at least 3 layers of White inked cardstock, gold foil and black cardstock.

FIRST ATTEMPT USING VINYL

I made this to go on the back of our golfcart. I havent put it on yet, will post pic of that once I do.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I also made this card for the RAQ challenge on the cricut mb. I really like how this turned out. My favorite part of the card is the evergreen spray, I used an MS branch punch for this. Stickled holly berries, free hand tied bow

Christmas cardinal

I made this for the RAQ challenge as well.
