:: Birthday Hat Card and Gift Box ::

My kids were invited to a last minute birthday party and by last minute, I mean like 2 hours notice. So I quickly made this card for the birthday boy! The party hat is from the Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge and the "happy birthday" is from the Stamping cartridge. I also made a triangle gift box and put money in it for the gift. The triangle gift box was made from Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge.

:: Baby Boy Card ::

This was a baby boy card I made for a friend. I was having trouble creating this one. Things were just not feeling right. This is the end result which turned out okay. I did faux chipboard on the baby buggy. I saw a tutorial on making faux chipboard and thought it was great idea so I had to try it. The word "baby" is from the Cricut Stamping cartridge. This is shown as "oh baby" but I omitted the "oh". The baby buggy and the circle with scalloped edges are also from the Stamping cartridge.

:: School Project - Basketball ::

My son made this bag for a school project. It was a project that went along with a book report. His book was an autobiography on Kevin Garnett from when he was a MN Timberwolve player. We are from Minnesota so we have a connection to the Timberwolves. The Cricut cartridges used were: Sports Mania and Everyday Paperdolls.

:: Birthday Card ::

Here is just a simple birthday card I made for a 7-year old girl. I had a gift bag that I bought for her gift that had the big stars and hearts on it so I tried to coordinate it with that.  The "happy birthday" is from the Cricut Stamping cartridge and the heart and star cuts are from Plantin Schoolbook.

:: Glass Etching ::

More glass etching! Again I used the palm tree design because it worked so well on the stemless wine glasses I did previously. The sun and palm trees are from Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge using the border function. They turned out so cute!

:: Hockey Players ::

My 7-year old daughter plays hockey, we were at a hockey tournament in San Diego over valentines day so we made a hockey player (from Cricut Everyday Paperdolls cartridge) that resembled each player on her team (hair color, hockey pants color, and added their jersey number) and passed them out on Valentine's Day! We attached a roll of Smarties under each hockey stick for a treat. Everyone loved them!

:: Valentine's Day ::

A valentine's box for my daughter to bring to school to get filled with goodies :) Of course, I had to make the little packets to put candy in!

As for the Cricut cartridges I used.... let's see if I can remember or tell where they are from.  The "valentine's day" is from Designer's Calendar.  The hearts were cut from several cartridges including, Doodlecharms, Gypsy Font, and Plantin Schoolbook.  "Emma" was probably cut from Alphalicious.

:: Vinyl Laundry Sign ::

I cut out "Laundry" in black vinyl and attached to the laundry door. I cut the font using SCAL and the brady bunch font set.

:: 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.
