Red Hatters Special Name Badges

Hi !

I received a call from a friend of my moms who is a Red Hatter... she wanted to have some special badges made for each of her Chaperetts. I used my CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge and my Gypsy to create their custom badges. I added a special touch with a bit of bling and to make it a true Red Hatter item, I added a fun purple feather. Just got word.. they LOVE them.

Some Pretty Flowers for Mom !!

A big shout out to all the Mom's who read my blog .... With Mother's Day approaching fast I wanted to make something that a Mom could receive and smile every time she looks at it. What do most if not all women like, other than bling, flowers. Using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge I cut out one of the flowers and added some bling..used a pen as the stem and "planted" it in the a cute little metal bucket I found in the dollar section of Target.

Wine Anyone ??

Good Evening,

Well the Easter Bunnies and Chicks have been a very big success. As the Easter Bunnies and Chicks were flying out of my scrapbook room like hotcakes...a good friend and a new proud owner of a Easter Bunnie and Chick called me and told me she was Scrap-Aiding me ... and asked if I could make a wine box that matched the Easter Bunnie. So thats exactly what I did using the same template from My Scrap Chick. Take a look and tell me what you think. I think the this is a whole way to hand out wine bottles.

Easter's On Its Way

Hi everyone!

Looking at the calendar the other day I realized that Easter was only a few weeks away and I hadn't started and Easter crafts. I looked thru all my cricut cartridges and did not find anything that jumped out at me to make for Josh's teacher so I went to the web. Let me tell you... I found some awesome stuff. My favorite was this web-site My Scrap Chick. I fell in love with  a few of their templates. Using a template that I purchased from them I was able to cut out these adorable little Easter boxes. Take a look, I am sure you will fall in love with them too.

And if that wasn't enough, I had to make more stuff ! While we were walking thru IKEA we saw these cute little jars..so of course my first question to Dave was "what can I do with these?" We bought a pack and back to the cricut I went. Using the same same templates I decorated up a couple of them. Take a look.

Gift Card Holder - Birthday Card

Happy Birthday to you!

Today Josh went to a Birthday Party for one of his classmates, which so happened to be a girl. Now I don't really know what to buy for a little girl so I took the safe route....you know it....gift cards! To make sure the "wrapping" was dolled up a bit; I pulled out my Gypsy and started to play. What I ended up with was this so very cute cupcake card meant to hold gift cards. Josh did tell me that she was not a real girlie-girl, but I think that every girl, girlie-girl or not, loves a bit of sparkle and bling.

To recreate this card you will need the following cartridges and accents:

CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge - Used for the big tag card
Straight From the Nest Cricut Cartridge - Used to create the cupcake and Happy Birthday saying
Liquid Glass - Used to make the cherry glossy
Stickles - Used to add sparkle
Large Brad (or ribbon) - Used in the hole in the top of the tag, you can use ribbon if you prefer.

Teacher's Valentines Card

Hello again,

 A Valentine’s Day gift for Josh's teacher is just not complete without a card. To continue with the same theme of the goodie bag I made this cute little toad card. I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge to make the circle scallop card and once again used the Cricut Lite Live Simply Cartridge. Not to play on words but I do think that Josh and his whole class, including his teacher, will have a TOADLY awesome Valentine’s Day!

Valentines Day Treat Bags

Hi Eveyone!

With Valentines Day just around the corner, I figured I better get my going on a Valentines Day exchange for my son's school party. Every year we go to the store early (to get the best selection) and look through all the boxed Valentines so that  Josh can pick one out, but it never fails that the closer it gets to Valentines Day he wants a different one. So this year I decided that I was going to just incorporate his Valentines Day card with the bag full of goodies. To my surprise he was pretty ok with it, when we filled the bag with all the candy he actually said "THATS COOL MOM !"

For the cute little toad I used the Cricut Lite Live Simply Cartridge and added some googly eyes for dimension , poppin it up on a the saying that I printed from my computer. Then attached that to a piece of making memories heart paper that I had pre-scored in half. Using that as my tag, I stapled it to a Wilton's treat bag filled with candy. VIOLA... a "COOL" Valentines treat for Josh to hand out at school on Valentines Day.
