Wood and vinyl signs




I made these for us and some of our friends to hang at our campers at the campground we keep our campers at. I used blank wood signs from Hobby lobby and cut the vinyl with my cricut using various carts.

paper purse and card


I made this for my mom. I cut the purse with my cricut using TBBM and made the card to match using the flap of the purse and using my cuttlebug to add the thinking of you. Turned out really cute.

Birthday card for friend

Baby Frame


I made this frame for my "on the way" grandson. lol. His pic will go in the middle once he's here!! The colors are much nicer in person, I guess the glass reflected the colors badly. It is a 12x12 shadow box and has a journal tag inside to write his weight, length and time of birth on. I am considering etching his initials on the front of the glass in the center, still unsure if that will make it to busy.

Birthday Card


Here is a cute little birthday card I made for a co-worker. I used watercolors to coler her in and my cuttlebug on the mat.

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.

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.

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!
