christmas

So...this year has been tough, we decided to only worry about getting our son's gifts. UNTIL I found 20 candle holders from a party years ago. They were packed up and shoved to the back of the closet in our guest room. When I found them I thought maybe I can dress them up and they could be small gifts for everybody so heres what I came up with. I only had a half of a sheet of vinyl...

Cowboy Party (in progress)

This is the treat bag topper front & back. the back says "It was mighty nice of ya to come to my party. I hope ya had a rootin' tootin' good time!"


This sign will be over the table with the cowboy hats, bandanas, sick horses ect


This is the sign to go on or above the drink table


This sign will be over the food table


Im working on the invitations, so I'll post them when they are finished :)

Halloween 2010

These were my Halloween cards this year. I made most of them the same because I did them all in one night haha but I was happy with how they turned out. The pictures are awful because of the lighting :(

Happy pregnancy

Just a quick & very simple card to let a friend know someones thinking of her :)

Mama

I made this card as soon as I got my A Child's Year cartridge (for $20!!!!) I LOVE this cut!!!

Justins Scrapbook

Ok, so I've seen scrapbook layouts on everyones blog and I never even thought to put mine on here. So I decided I would. Then I realized what a pain it was to take a picture of something with a page protector on it!! So the pictures are awful...but at least I can say they're on here haha. I left some pages out, some were more personal then others. Oh and they may end up out of order since I will have to do several posts. Now keep in mind, this was all done BEFORE I got my cricut! So you wont see very much creativity...But enjoy :)


the green & purple page is just about how i found out i was pregnant, what i craved, a copy of the doctors pregnacy test result etc.. the 2nd is untrasound pics

baby shower invitation (i made) and pics from the shower

monogram card

I did this card using the storybook cartridge, lots of chalk, and crystal effects on the letters. :)

Football Birthday card

I used Everyday Paper Dolls for this card

Thank you

My mom bought me the Storybook Cart last week (on sale at WM for $23!!!) and I JUST NOW got a chance to use it!! Im usually breaking it open as soon as i get it home, but i just havent found a free minute latly! So ANYWAY.... Heres my 1st card made with this cart. Im addicted to doodling :)

ribbon storage

just wanted to share how i store my ribbon, lots of people ask. My ribbon pieces (that i cant seem to part with) are in the green basket labeled "scrap ribbon", mini spools are in the green container on the right, and regular spools are hanging on a dowel that derek ran through my shelf :) I dont use ribbon as much as some of you, but this works for me. tfl!

Sock Monkey

This is the 1st card I made using "B is for Boy" cartridge.

Fathers Day (love)

This was my 1st time using a picture in a card! I think it turned out good. I took a 5x7 picture, made it as the front of the card. I printed on vellum and attached it on top of the picture. added some scrap ribbon, a heart brad and flowers cut with my cuttlebug, and used a stamp & embossing powder for "cherish". On the inside i layered red & black paper, again printed on vellum and attached it with heart shaped brads, and added some flowers cut from scrap vellum :) Let me know what ya think!!

Fathers Day

This is 1 of Dereks fathers Day cards. Im making another as we speak :)

Everyday Paper Doll card

This card has several mistakes, and it kinda messy...but I just got this cartridge and was playing around with it. Theres lots of extra cuts on this cartridge that i LOVE!!!

Alien bday

This is my 2nd card using Everyday Paper Dolls. I used tin foil for the space ship. I forgot to take a picture, but the inside says "To wish you a Happy Birthday!!"

Moms Bday

No Cricut used on this one, Just the trusty cuttlebug :)

Fathers Day Card 2

FRONT



INSIDE---not yet personalized, and after i posted this, i realized i cut a word out. So i fixed it....it now says "...it takes someone special to BE called..."



ENVELOPE



Im pretty happy with this card! :) And remember, all of my pictures are taken with my phone, so they are poor quality, making the colors awful :( it looks ALOT better in person!

Fathers Day Card

Im not good with "guy" cards....But i think this one turned out pretty good.

Cookie Bag

I made this for my best friend keisha. I saw one similar at walmart it was pink and had some kind of candy in it for Mother's Day. When I saw it, I thought "I CAN DO THAT!" So today, I attempted it. I put 2 homemade double chocolate chip cookies in it :)I dont have Design studio or SCAL so it is all hand cut. Except the K...it is from Jasmine. I did the brown "stitching" with a plain ole crayola marker haha

haha

Im not sure what I will do with this cut, but I just got the Old West Cartridge and HAD to use it hahaha

A simple bday card

I made this card for my aunts bday. The edges are chalked but it doesnt show up well in the picture.

Bday card for DAD

I decided it was missing something, so i sanded the truck and chalked the edges (chalk doesnt show up too well in the pic) i think it looks better :)





This is the 1st time ive used the heritage cartridge! Oh! and i used Jasmine & cuttin up for the fonts :)
