:: Mother's Day Card ::

This is a Mother's Day card I made for my mom. I used the flowers from the Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge. I guess I really like those flowers since I keep using them. The "Mom" is from Gypsy Font with letters welded together. It is very simple but I like simple designs!

:: Cupcake Birthday Card ::

This is a birthday card for an 8-year old girl.  All elements used in the card were done with the Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge. "May all your wishes come true" is on the inside of the card.  I added glitter to the icing on the cupcake and on the cherry.

:: Teacher Appreciation Gifts ::

I made candy jars for my kids teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week.  The jars were purchased at Ikea.  The flowers and "hip, hip, hooray" are from the Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge. I cut the flowers in black and white vinyl for the jar and used paper for the gift bag and tag. The rest of the words are from the Cricut Old West cartridge. It's hard to see in the photo but the jar on the bottom left corner had vinyl letters using Cricut Alphalicious cartridge.  To finish the jar off, I tied color coordinated ribbon on the handle of the cover and filled with the teachers favorite candy :)

:: Hockey Scrapbook ::

This is a collage of the hockey scrapbook for my daughter's hockey coach. This was a season-end gift to the head coach. Thanks to all the wonderful parents that took photos of the kids throughout the season and for sharing those with me.

I used many different cartridges but the one that I used most was the Cricut Sports Mania cartridge.  I also purchased some of the embellishments at Michael's and Joann's.  The scrapbook was purchased at Joann's.  

:: Baby Gift Card ::

I made this "cute as a bug" card and matching gift bag for a new baby in the neighborhood.  The ladybug is from the Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge and the "cute as a  bug" phrase is from the Cricut Just Because Cards cartridge.

:: 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!
