This week's challenge was to do a theme with Halloween. I went with the pumpkin shape card from wrap it up. I added some stickles to give it some sparkle.

Throwback Thursday Challenge!"

For this project I used a cartridge that I don't use that often. The wrap it up is a great cartridge and has a lot of fun shape cards on it. The theme was Halloween and I choose to use the tombstone and use some stickers to make it a little more interesting.

Wacky Wednesday #55

This challenge was a little diffcult for me because I just did'nt know what to come up with.  I tried to do something a little fun and do these treat bags in different sizes. It all halloween theme.

I used tags, bags, boxes, and more for the bags.

I was thinking that the eyes was a great touch. I will make more and put candy in it for my little kids at the daycare.

love tree

Here another fun project I put together for http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/ We had to make something with a tree. I always make cards so I went with something different. I put together a 8x8 scrap page. It means a lot to me because it a photo of me and the man that I love. It has been a long time since I felt this way about anyone. We have been together for a year and I still feel like a little girl when I see him. We are long distance for now, he lives in Milwaukee and I live in Chicago, We are a hour and a half away from each other so it does take some planning. I wouldn't change a thing about it.

The tree is cut at 4 inches and is from the sweetheart cartridge and so are the little people.The grass is from PDDU and so is the moon which was cut at 2 inches. The sentiment is from scrappy moms stamp set the sweet something collection

Scrapbooking Haul

My Creative Time "ST. PATRICK'S THEME"

This is a fun challenge and I really had to come up with something great. I didn't want to use a shamrock for it so a pot of gold had to do. I really wish I could find my pot of gold I could use it.

I added some gold stickles to give it a nice shimmer and the rainbow is create-a-critter and so are the clouds

I really enjoy all the fun challenges at http://www.cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/. This time we had to make a bookmark for the challenge. This is what I came up with.

The apple is cut from create-a-critter, it reminded me of a school teacher. Right now I'm in school to get my degree in Early Childhood.

Wacky Wednesday "zoo theme"

I have a reason not to do a card but work on a actual scrap page. There is only one cut that is from my cricut eveything else is just me cutting the old fashion was.

Terrific Tuesday Challenge "Create-a-Critter"

This is becoming to be one of my favorite cartridge. I really like all the cute little critters that are on the cartridge. I did something different with this one and made a key chain. I learned it from another blog and when I remember I will post it, I want to give the right credit to the right person. I cut the kitten out about five times and glue all the pieces together  with my 2 way zig glue stick. I punched the holes in as I went through each layers. After it dried from the glue, I used some mod podge to give it a stiff feel and make it feel like leather.

CTO "anything goes birthday"

I really like http://www.celebratetheoccasion.blogspot.com/ .  This is a fun blog, it helps me be creative. I decided to do another card that would work for a man. I used another new cartridge of my wrap it up,  which has several many images for different reasons. I used the tie to make a card for a man. My pastor birthday is in march and he loves his ties, so this would be a nice card for him.

Wacky Wednesday "farm themed"

I have to think about this one. Once I gave it some thought I came up with my favorite thing about the farm and that is the corn. I love sweet corn on the cob it is my favorite summer time treat.

Scrappin Goals

OK so since I had a cricut I have gotten a few cartridges and have not used them all. My goal is to make something using ever one of the cartridges that I own. It will be a card, scrapbook page, home decor, clothing using my Yudu or just some hand painting. I want to be able to post videos as well. So wish me good luck with my goals. Once I hit 100 followers I will give away something special. Stay tuned....

Kintting?

I love to craft and all things provo craft. I recieve a loom for christmas in hopes that I will start to knit. I will see how it goes.

Twlight shirt

I wanted to give this shirt to my cousin for her birthday and didn't have time to use my Yudu to make it. I decided to hand paint it. I cut some vinyl using my cricut and the gypsy. The font I used is plantin schoolbook and the heart is from doodlecharm and the florist is from gypsy wandering.

The first thing I did after cutting the vinyl out was to hand paint over the letters. The pain I used is the brand Tulip soft fabric paint.I used the colors white velvet and red metallics

I let the shirt dry over night and heat set it to give it a finish look. I think it turned out alright.

"Edward" card

I made this card for my cousin because she is a huge fan of twlight and thought it would be something cute for her. I used PDDU for the boy. I cut it out at 3' and I used peachy keen to stamp on the face. I added some stickles for that extra glam. I think it came out alright.

Gifts for my Cousin

My little 12 yr old cousin is a huge fan of Twilight and I wanted to give her something nice for her birthday. I made her a card and brought her some stuff. The shirt I hand and I will give more details on it. Here is the photo
