:: Wine Glass ::

This was my first attempt at etching glass. I LOVE doing this! It is so easy and fun to see how it turns out. I cut out a design on my Cricut using vinyl (or contact paper in this case) and then attached it to the glass. Put on some Etch Armour product, wait a few minutes, and that's it! The hardest part was probably deciding on which design to use. The palm trees are from the Doodlecharms cartridge. I used the border function so that it would cut all three of the palm trees together.

:: Bath Frame ::

My mom moved into a new house and her bathroom is black and white. She wanted something small to hang on a wall. I cut out the bathtub from the Cricut Everyday Paperdolls cartridge and the letters are from Alphalicious. It was put into a black frame so she could hang it.

:: Family Frame ::

I made this using Cricut Everyday Paperdolls for a friend. It looks like I forgot to add some color to their faces or at least outline their smile, eyes, etc. Oh well, it was one of my first projects using my Cricut Expression.

:: Christmas Ornaments ::

Merry Christmas! The ornaments started out as clear bulbs. I found information on the Cricut message boards on how to add the glitter to the inside of the ornaments using floor wax and glitter. It worked out great! I then cut out the snowflakes using vinyl and adhered them to the outside of the ornament. I added some ribbon to pretty them up. The gift bag was used for the ornaments. I used the same snowflakes cuts out of vinyl and added them to the bag with some ribbon. This was a gift for teachers this year. The kids were also able to help with this project!

:: Ethan and Emma ::

My 11-year old son made this for his sister using my Cricut Expression and Everyday Paperdolls cartridge. Isn't it sooo cute!
