Cricut Card Crazy!!

Hop on over to my Creative Critter blog and see all the cards that I have been creating with the cricut lately!! I've been busy!

I've been using WILD CARD, HOME DECOR, INDIE ART and more... details for each card and cut size are located on the Creative Critter blog

Let me know what you think! Is it too green? LOL!

Cricut Wedding Cartridge

My daughter is getting married and these are the Save-the-Dates that she designed using the cricut cartridges Opposites Attract, Base Camp and Home Accents. We put magnets on the back so that our family & friends can put them on the frig as reminders.

We are decorating glass candle holders with the wedding bells cut from the Wedding Solutions cartridge. The shadow is black paper, the base is in the wedding color (aqua blue) and the bells are white. We stickled white glitter to the bands on the bells. This was a 4" cut.



We plan to make one of these for each table at the reception. Haven't decided if we are going to use white candles or the black ones like in the picture. What do you think?

Halloween Vase

I went to the Scrapbook Barn in Dallas on Friday night with Marianne and the SASSY gals. I was pretty pleased that I was able to finish two home decor projects that I wanted for my dining room. The vase above was an unfinished wine bottle box. I took the strap handle off and painted the inside and edges black. I then decoupaged with Mod Podge Daisy D's scrapbook papers on each side. Painted the lid and put it on the bottom as a base and... voila!... my vase is done!

The vase below was an unfinished wood container. It too had a lid that I decided to not use at all. I got it at Hobby Lobby for only $1.99! I wrapped polka dot paper by Paper Studio around the base and cut the skull and crossbones with the Indie Art cricut cartridge. I added Trick or Treat ribbon around the top and bottom and decoupaged the whole thing. I painted some wooden balls green and glued them to the bottom for feet. The roses are the final touch. This is gonna look great with my other Halloween decorations on the buffet in my dining room!

Creative Cottage - Day ONE

What a great day! My mom (Liz), Marianne, Myriam, Cheri and I all scrapbooked at the Creative Cottage in McKinney, Texas. It was great! A friend that we made there in July happened to be there with her friend, Charlotte. And Donna from the SHOT Meetup group showed up too... totally unplanned, but way cool!


I worked on cutting alot of cricut diecuts with the new cartridge, Graphically Speaking. It is such an awesome cartridge... if you don't have it yet, you definitely need to put it on your list! I made lunch for our group... simple sandwiches and wraps with baked chips. We kept to our low calorie diets today! Myriam provided dinner... it was so yummy... Lime Chicken with rosemary potatoes and a Strawberry Spinach salad! Very healthy! Thanks Myriam!


After dinner, I played with the INDIE ART cartridge and used a 12x12 black & white photo of my youngest son, Matt. I love how it turned out!
