Sneek Peek at a birthday party that I am doing

I'm not quite done yet with this party but wanted to post what I have pictures of so far...

"Cars" Themed birthday party

I was asked to make some decorations for a 2 year old's birthday party. He loves Disney's Cars. I made a variety of decorations: invitations, cupcake wrappers, cake decorations, decorations to cover Mylar balloons, goody bag toppers and a banner with the birthday boy's name on it. This was fun to do! Lots of pictures...

Jolly Holidays Card

I made this card for my newphew. I love this Jolly Holidays cartridge, it is so darn cute!

Countdown to Christmas (Advent Calendar)

I saw an ad for the Bo Bunny line, it was a canvas bundle with Bo Bunny papers. They had some project ideas and I saw one like this - loved it, so had to make it. But, I didn't have the Bo Bunny line or the canvas bundle so I did my own. I had a 16 x 20 canvas that I painted. Used my cricut for the numbers and the Christmas cuts. Used my Xyron to laminate the number cards and voila - done! I really like it, was able to make it in 1 day and I'm gonna make a few more for gifts. Hope you like it...

Christmas Candy Gifts

These are made using Ragu Spaghetti jars - aren't they cute? I used my new "Lite Jolly Holidays" cartridge for all of the cuts then filled the jars with candy. Simple and cute!

Holiday Candy Baskets

I made these for some teens on my shopping list. I attached a gift card holder to the front of the basket.

Christmas Gift Card Holders



Well, I have finally been busy completing some Christmas crafts. I have several that I will be posting and soooo many more to complete! These are some cute little gift card holders that I made using my Gypsy Girl and some Christmas cartridges. I will stick these in the tree for the kids...



Halloween Treats

Here are some cute Halloween treats that I made for daughters class. I love how they turned out :)

3D Coffin Candy Dish

OMG - this is such a fun project to do. This coffin is from Happy Hauntings (one of my favorite carts), I cut the coffin at 11.5", the gate at 3" and the tomb at 5". I used my IRock to add a little bling on the gate and the cross. My papers all have a shimmer to them so it looks real cool in person. I have been wanting to make this and saw Liz's over at Liz's Paper Loft and decided to give her version a shot. I am going to make 4-5 more of these and will mix them up some once I get rid of my sinus headache (hard to be real creative when hurting so). Thanks for stopping by...

Some More Halloween Decorations

Here are a few more decorations that I have made for my daughter. The 3D tree is from Happy Hauntings along with the ghosts and grass. This is so much fun to make! I also made a couple spider webs to hang from the ceiling and some bats and spiders to stick around.

Family of Ghosts

Here is a family of ghosts that I made using paper doll dress up cart. I made these for my oldest daughter and her family, they have long strings to hang from the ceiling... Thanks for looking!

Gabby Abby's Challenge

Scrapbookaholic by Abby is having a challenge and this week it is to use the colors Orange, Black and Purple on any project. Abby did a project without using her Cricut so I decided to do the same. This card is made with simply an adorbale paper, ribbon, button and twine but is so darn cute! Hope you like it...To see the challenge, hop on over to: http://scrapbookaholic.blogspot.com/2010/10/gaby-abby-challenges-with-sei-week-1.html

2nd "SPOOKY" banner

Here is another banner...I used the October 31st cart for the sign posts, the font is from Happy Hauntings

"SPOOKY" Banner

I've been working on a few Halloween banners - my daughter wanted one for her teacher as well. I used the Happy Hauntings cartridge for this banner - love this cartridge!
