Flower Happy Birthday Card

This is the birthday card I made for a friend. I ripped 3 "petal" shaped scraps of a pink paper and a yellow center and colored the white edges with a coordinating marker. The leaf is a green piece of paper and the stem is a green ribbon. I added a little shiny gem in the center of the flower and a cut out that says Happy Birthday from the cricut cartridge beyond birthdays. Very easy!

Jumbo Clothespin for Pam/Home Decor Swap

Here's the clothespin I made for Pam for our Home Decor Swap. I saw one on the cricut websites and knew I had to make this for our swap.

Jumbo Clothespin for Lauren

This was the clothespin I made for a friend's birthday. I put her card in it but it can hold pictures also. I cut the paper to fit and then cut the letter L and scallop circle from mini monograms with the cricut then tied it on with a ribbon.

Pop Top Can

This is the pop top can I made for my friend's birthday. It only took a minute and is really cute...pineapple from a can for breakfast today! Inside is the lia sophia earring box that I wrapped and a burt's bees chapstick. All you do is cut the bottom off with a safe edge can opener, decorate it with paper, ribbon etc., fill it up & hot glue the bottom!

Halloween Decorations

The top picture is hard to see but it's a grapvine wreath in the center window pane decorated with ghosts, pumpkins, tombstones and a big spider and spider web. The sides have a mummy and a ghost. In the living room there are two black cats (Rosa and Muffin) and a pumpkin. Pam cut these out on her cricut last year using, I think the paperdoll cartridge and the doodlecharms cartridge...I could be wrong though. We outlined the edges and inked them.

Pam's Twinchies

Here are the twinchies Pam made for me for our swap. She made some extra. I think I'll put them in a frame to hang in my room. Love them!

Twinchies

I had no idea what inchies or twinchies were until I saw them all over www.craftster.com. Inchies are 1 inch squares that you can decorate however you want with paper, paint, fabric etc. and twinchies are 2 inch sqaures.

This was the Twinchie Swap I did with my sister. I'll post a pic. of the ones she made me tomorow.

Clothespin Magnets

I cut strips of decorative paper and glued them onto these clothespins to jazz them up. On the back is a strip of magnet with an adhesive side. I just cut it down to size and stuck it on the back. I think they came out really cute - good for holding pictures on a fridge or filing cabinet. The clothespins came in a pack of 24 for a couple of dollars and the magnetic strip was under a dollar. I'm going to make a bunch more for the craft fair. I'll display the onesies with them and sell the sets for....$2?

Paperbag Album

This is a paperbag album I made for '09. I had never made one before and it was really easy to make. I used 4 paper bags and each pocket has a page that pulls out by the paper or ribbon tabs. I love the size of it and think it's so cute...

Summer Scrapbook Page

Yet another scrapbook page contest that I never entered. I think this one was a Pagemaps layout from www.pagemaps.com. I think it came out cute and I got to use almost all of the pictures I took of our day hiking up Mt. Rattlesnake.

T-shirt pillow

Here's a pillow I made out of an old t-shirt that wouldn't fit a friend's son. I just squared it off, sewed it right sides together leaving a hole, flipped it right side out and whip stitched the opening.

Chaos

This was a layout that I did for a challenge on www.heaven-sent.com.au. I never entered it into the contest but it helped motivate me to finish the page on time

Anniversary Tile

Here is my first attempt at a tile with vinyl. I somehow pulled this off last minute with the world's worst headache for a friend's 15th wedding anniversary. I used glossy gray vinyl, it would have looked better with the matte but I think it still came out pretty. I used the opposites attract cartridge for the letters and numbers and the home decor cartridge for the swirl. Very easy to make and the tile was about $1.00 at Lowes and then I got a plate rack (with a rooster on it but the tile covers it) at Family Dollar for $3.00. I will definitely keep this idea in mind because it was cheap, fast and easy.

Snuggie Wrap

Here is the snuggie wrap I made using an Amy Butler pattern. I used a cotton print and anti-pill sage fleece for the inside. It was pretty easy to make and came out adorable! It has fusible fleece in between the layers and a hood. I sewed a tie onto the back. It looks like it would be very warm!

Bulletin Board

This is the bulletin board of resources I made for work. It has things like food pantries, housing help, insurance help and I used the cricut paper pups cartridge for all of the pictures. I think it came out really cute and I definitely got my money's worth out of the cricut on this one!

Zebra Lanyard

I figured it out without a pattern. Very easy to make a lanyard for a school/work ID badge holder. I found the swivelhook/rings in the jewelry findings at Joanns and you

just need a piece of fabric about 40" long x 3" wide. You press the fabric

in half, open it up and fold each edge towards the center, then press in half again so the finished version is a skinny 3/4 of an inch which fits perfectly on a 3/4" D ring (at the end of the swivel hook) I top

stitched down both sides, put the D ring on and sewed the ends together. I sewed a rectangle to hold the badge flat and "X"

stitched to finish it off.

Only 324098234908 more to make for the craft fair. . .if I get in.

Tags Swap

Here are the tags my sister, Pam, and I made for our first swap. We each did twelve tags, one for each month. Hers are the top two pics (packaged very cute) and the bottom picture shows the tags I made for her. Onto the next swap. . .
