Spring Wreath

This wreath was so fun to make! 

♣Happy St. Patrick's Day♣

Just thought I'd share a few little items I've made this week for St. Patrick's Day.

I wore the pin with a black shirt and I made a bunch of the packages

 for my husband's secretaries.

If you want a tutorial on either let me know☺

Have a super fantastic St. Patrick's Day!

Teen Birthday Gift

My sister in law turns 15 today!  Yesterday we celebrated her birthday.  We had already bought something for her, but I couldn't resist making a few items for her.  Check them out.

Ruffle Bracelet, Button Hair Ties, T-shirt Headband

Jungle Theme Baby Shower

What a crazy weekend!  I don't know if it's because I'm 34 weeks pregnant, chasing around a 19th month old, or both (I think they're both good excuses), but I've just recovered from the weekend!  We hosted a couples shower for our dear friends Saturday night. Then Sunday, we drove 2.5 hours to West Lafayette (Go Purdue) for my friend's baby shower.  I thought I would post some of the games, decorations and such from the shower we hosted.  The theme was a JUNGLE theme. Enjoy!

Boilermaker Bundle Baby Shower Gift

On Sunday I went to a baby shower for one of my dearest friends.  She doesn't know what she's having yet, so I decided to make a gift using the color scheme black and gold.  We met at Purdue and both our husbands went to Purdue as well so I thought it was a perfect fit!  I call this the Boilermaker Bundle!

Baby Shower Wreath

We're hosting a baby shower tomorrow, so I thought I'd share one of the decorations my mom and I made.

Mini Album

I made a notebook earlier click here to see, just to get my feet wet before I dove into making a full out mini album. This mini album I made for my mother in law for her birthday.  The grandkids call her "Baba" short for Bapscia (Polish for Grandma sorry not sure on the spelling).

Mini Notepad

 

I recently watched a mini album video series from the talented Christina from "Creations with Christina". If you would like to see the series click here (scroll to the bottom to see the first video). 

Birthday Card

I just got a Cuttlebug and have really been enjoying the embossing folders! Here's a birthday card I made. The cupcake is from the Celebrations cartridge and then I just used stickles glue (silver and clear).

Valentine Ladybug hair clip

So I made this little valentine ladybug hair clip for my God daughter. I mounted it on a heart (from my "extras pile" actually a heart left over from the wild card cartridge), by using a craft knife for a slit, and then I mounted it (using glue dots) on a tag I made using the Cuttlebug.

Valentine Treat Boxes

If you have Tie the Knot cricut cartridge...there are some really cute heart boxes! Perfect for Valentine's Day! I made these at 6". I used double sided paper, so when the cricut got done cutting them out, I took the little heart out of the middle of the handle, and flipped it over and glued it (using 2way glue pen) to the sides. Hope you have a great Valentine's Day!

Baby Gift

I made this tie onesie for a baby gift. I just bought a onesie from Joann's, scrap fabric, and Heat n Bond. There are many tutorials out there on how to do this..if you need help, just e-mail me or ask in a comment!
I couldn't think of a cute way to package it, until I saw the cupcake wrapper on my new cricut cartridge "Life's a Party" and......

Easy Valentine's Day Cards

I just recently really got into the cricut and card making. I made these cards with the wild card cartridge, some stickles, and the rolly turny thing that makes your paper wavey (sorry I know it's not a techinical term;) The photos didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped but I think you can get the general idea:)
