Baby Boy Bottle Bag

This is a gift bag I made for a friends baby shower. I cut the bottles from Doodlecharms and added Peachy Keen Faces.
I cut the boy from Plantin Schoolbook.
I love my cricut cut out so much more with Peachy Keen faces on them.  I am entering this into Peachy Keen Anything Goes Challenge.

Vinyl Blog-a-versary Challenge

Crafty Card Gallery does a month challenge for us to play along with. This month we were given Vinyl to play with.

We had to make a card using Vinyl and I am glad we did. I have never thought to use vinyl on a card before. Embossing the vinyl looks so awesome and you can use the backing too.
The backing is a shiny white that I will be adding to a card as well.
This image is from The Stamping Boutique
I cut these turtles from Car Decal. I realized I need to use contact paper to transfer these and need to do them again because they are not perfect.
I used the outline piece to etch my favorite glass pan.
Do you get sick of losing your pans? Well now mine will have a turtle on them so I can always tell mine. Now I just need to do about 10 more, lol.
Follow the instructions on the Armour Etch (super easy).
Now no one can steal my bowl :)
There are so many things you can do with Vinyl. I love it and have done several things with it. Here are a couple past things I have done with vinyl.

Make sure you head over to The Crafty Card Gallery and see the other Vinyl projects.

MCCR 100 Cart Blog Hop

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room
100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop 
You should have started at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/ 
if not please start at the beginning.
If you arrived from Erica's Projects then you are in the right place. 
Collectively the Design Team with My Cricut Craft Room uses over 100 Cricut Cartridges in their projects during the two days of this hop. 

What an exciting weekend.

Here are my projects for today. I made a sign for my classroom. 
 I cut the eagle from Team Spirit at 6 inches. This is a great cartridge.
I am a teacher and our school is the eagles so I made a sign to hang in my classroom. I need to make some more for the other teachers now.
The letters are from Gypsy Font.
I made this treat boxes from Plantin Schoolbook at 6 1/2 inches and the ghosts from Doodlecharms at 3 inches with Peachy Keen faces added. Cute paper and some twine and there you have it. These are great gift boxes! 
 I cut this skull from My World Cricut Craftroom Exclusive cart. This cart has a lot of great shapes to cut. This card was perfect for my brother and was the first time I have ever cut a skull :) The inside I added some comical stamps. 
And my last card is the complete opposite of the one above. It is from Once Upon a Princess. I cut the card from there and added stickles to the windows. Of course I had to make at least one pink card! 
I cut this by using the fit to page and making it as big as possible. It was around 6 inches. I added some fauz stitching which I believe added a bit of fun detail. 
Next your off to Amy's blog to check out her great projects. Hope you enjoyed my projects.

OWH Card Making Day

Welcome to the Operation Write Home World Card Making Day Bloghop. http://operationwritehome.org/bloghop If you happened upon this post the click on the link to see the other wonderful cards. 
I made my card using Recollection paper and a super cute The Stamping Boutique image. I colored it with Copics and tried to make it look furry. Not sure it worked the way I hoped but it is still cute. The bear sleeping is my idea of winter. He is hibernating for the winter, lol.
Here is the sketch I used for my card. 
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the hop, Operation Write Home is such a wonderful cause.

Inspired Stamps Tag Card

Scroll down for the candycorn blog hop.

This week on Inspired Stamps we were supposed to use a tag. I decided to make a card with a tag on it. I rarely if ever use a tag on a card but I just might start more often. I love how this one came out.
I used on of my favorite Inspired Stamps sets Birthday I added a little color with my Copics.
The paper is Recollections. I cut the tag with my Cricut and The Cricut Craft Room Gypsy Wanderings.
This is a great set. You can find it and many others at Inspired Stamps. Also check out all the great projects on their blog. Fridays the blog will have tutorials for ideas on handmade Christmas gifts.

Candycorn Blog Hop


Trick or Treat...Yum, candy corn! Candy corn just isn't sweet to eat, it's also colorful to look at and that's what this hop is all about. Come join our crafters as they use candy corn and it's colors to create beautiful and cute projects.

Please begin at Lorby's World (http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com) where she has a drawing going on for one
of her original digital stamps
The rules for the drawing are on her blog.
If you came from Jennifer's then you are in the right place. I am the last in the line up so I hope you enjoyed the hop.

Here is my candy corn inspired project:
I have been making several cards with candycorn on the image. Here is my new one for this hop.

I cut the candy corn from Smiley Cards on the Gypsy. I added Peachy Keen eyes though not quite right my niece will still enjoy it.

Here are some others I made this week as well.

Hope you enjoyed the hop!

TSB Pink Breast Cancer Card

 I wanted to make a couple of cards for link up to pink for breast cancer awareness month. Here is one of my cards. I hope I have more time to make some more later.
I used The Stamping Boutique image of the ribbon, colored it with Copics and added Stickles. The scallop is from Lacy Labels.

Check out The Stamping Boutique's current challenge which is also to use pink. http://thestampingboutiquechallengeblog.blogspot.com/

The Stamping Boutique Card & Bookmark

I wanted to revisited this post I made last year. I found this post searching through my blog and I am now on this design team so want to re-share this post.
 These two images are from the Stamp Boutique. They are super cute. I colored them with Copics and chalked the edges.
 This card fold is one of my favorite ones.
 I added some ribbon and brads to the embossed strip of paper.
 I made a corner bookmark with one of the images for myself. I have made several of these for others and decided I wanted one for myself.

This is what I said a year ago and I am now on this DT. ****Sad I was working on this project to link to apply for Stamping Boutiques DT call and went back to link it up and the link was closed. I had checked it a couple hours before and didn't realize how soon it was closing. Bummer, they have such cute stamps. Well maybe next time.

MCCR Letter N


Today at My Cricut Craft Room is Letter N day. I decided to make my neighbors these Halloween gift bags. 
 I used Plantin Schoolbook to cut out the bag at 5in. I used Create A Critter 2 for the pumpkin bag cut outs. They are 3 inches. I made each on a little different. There is a bit of pink on the paper too bad it is behind the pumpkin :)
I added twine to all the handles and used some cute left over paper. Now head on over to My Cricut Craft Room and check out the other cute projects the ladies made.
