Cricut Circle Christmas ornament







I put Christmas trees up in every room during the holiday and in my craft room this yr I will be using a Cricut theme. I got the idea of using filler material from Sassylady on the mb. I shrunk my certificate and adhered to the square glass ornament using my xyron. I filled it with filler paper from my circle box. (it needs a little more paperr in it) I think it is cute but will NEVER use the square ornaments like this again. The top hole is way to small.
I also filled the round ornaments with the filler material as well. I tried to etch on the ornaments but it would not take so I will be adding some vinyl on the outside and a little extra bling to the ornaments.

Lil summer survival bucket


I put this cute lil summer survival bucket for my sons girlfriend. I got a cute little orange bucket from Target dollar spot and filled it with some summer essentials. There is a pedicure set, a manicure set, nail polish, lip gloss, body spray, body wash, lotion and a bath scrunchie. I also got a matching water bottle. Everything is Pink and Orange and is so bright and summery. Perfect for getting ready for a day by the pool.

Birthday Card


I made this for my son's dear girlfriend (basically daughter in law). I hope she enjoys it.
I used housemouse stamp and used prismacolor pencils to watercolor the image. I then used clear embossing powder over the entire image to make it shine. I used Mickey mouse cuttlebug border folder around the outside of image and also on the inside of card. I then added stickles to the outside of image and also inside the ribbon border.

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




I havent posted for a while but have been crafting. I made this card a couple weeks ago for a friends birthday. Simple but cute, love the lil monkey.

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.

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.
