Up & Running

This one was made for another colleague.  This one broke her ankle!  She'll be off for 12 weeks!  These poor girls!

I used Old West for the horse and Gypsy Wanderings for the trees.  The papers are Prima.  The top one was misted and inked, the bottom one was just inked. 

The birds are from a Tim Holtz set.  The tiny tag was also made with my Cricut.  If you don't have a Cricut, there are other ways to make these.  I also have the Sizzix dies that I use all.  The tags are just so sweet and work great for that little word/sentiment!

Working with my current supplies/stash!

More Boxes

I made these boxes for my grand kids.  I don't like wrapping gifts, so when I saw the idea of doing "wrapping" with my Cricut, I had to do it.  These took way more time than conventional wrapping, but they were fun to do!

This one is my my granddaughter who loves princesses and loves it when I make her one, so  I used Once Upon a Princess, Joys of the Season and Gypsy Wanderings.

I made this one for my grandson.  He loves Sponge Bob!  When I bought the cartridge, my husband said he could not understand why I had bought it.  I responded, "Because it was on sale!!!"  Now, I have a grandson so it is perfect!  I also used Joys of the Season and Winter Frolic.  I added "snow" to the hat and pop dots to the presents for added dimension.  I think it turned out stinking cute!

ETA:  Sponge Bob was picked up as the "Project of the Day" on the Cricut Circle Blog!!!

SnowFlakes Border

I made these snowflakes from several carts:  Gypsy Wanderings, Joys of the Season, Designer Calendar and something else.  Sorry, I didn't save the file, so I can't recall the other one(s).   I then had the kids apply glue and glitter.  IRL the snow flakes sparkle brilliantly.  The picture does not sparkle.   I had the kids use the Martha Stewart glow-in-the-dark glitter.  They had so much fun running into the dark bathroom so they could see them.  They are eager to come at night to see it "lit up"!   The snowflakes  are not perfect, but that adds to the charm.  The kids love to decorate my calendar holder.  They always come to see if the latest creation that they made is up there!  Goodness knows I can't even take a picture off of the fridge for months!  lol!

Family Photo

I have not been able to post in awhile due to a missing camera!  Sheesh!!

This is a canvas photo matting I did for my eldest daughter and her family.  I think they are a handsome family!  All of the papers came from DCWV Street Lace and Alphabet stacks.  The roses are cut using French Manor.  The same type of flower can be cut from many other carts.  I spritzed the roses with Cherry Blossom Walnut ink and then Perfect Pearls/H20 I made.   They have a lovely shimmer to them.  I also did the V with the CB ink and spritzed some here and there on the flower paper to pull the pink over to the left side of the page.  The leaves are cut from Gypsy Wanderings.  Some bling, a few extra embellishments and voila!
