80 Card

Bryce's Grandma turned 80 this year. We are heading out for a family reunion and she will join us for part of it. So I made this card for everyone to sign and give her when she's there. I made the 80 with "Mickey Font", then copied and flipped the image and welded part of the 8's together to form a card. Then I used 'Alphalicious" for the lettering on the card. We will use a white pen to sign our names!

Calendar

My mom let me borrow her Cricut Color pen. You take out your cutting blade and put this little marker in. Then instead of cutting your image, it draws your image. So, I decided to try this out for our family Calendar. I usually just print a generic off of Google or something and put it up. This took a little bit of time to get the numbers where I needed them, but I LOVE how it turned out. After the Cricut drew my calendar, I filled in "July" with glitter, and used my star punch to fill in the top. It is fun to go into the kitchen to check the calendar and see something crafty! :)

My Gypsy

So I love love love my Gypsy. All of my Cricut Cartridges are linked to this and I can design everything I want to cut from the comfort of my couch, then head into my craft room, connect it to my Cricut and hit 'cut'. I can copy images, resize images, squish them close together to save paper, put things on different parts of the mat so I can cut things out with different colors of cardstock without the hassle of loading and unloading my mat. I can even weld letters together so it cuts as one thing instead of each individual letter. It is amazing.

Not only can I do all of those things, but I can also browse ALL the cartridges Cricut makes, play with them and decide if I want to buy them. (I can't cut things out from cartridges I don't own, but 'try before you buy' is awesome!!)

I wouldn't/couldn't do most of what I do on the Cricut without my Gypsy!! I love it!!!

Good-Bye Card

Our Bishop moved last month. We were so sad to see their family go. He had such love for the Primary children and they all loved him. On their last Sunday here, we had all the kids sign this 12x12 card and presented it to him. He told the kids his favorite file in his desk is the one with all the cards and pictures the Primary has given him over the last few years. Aww! He will be missed!!

Baby Shower

We threw a surprise baby shower for a co-worker. I made this banner with my Cricut. The images are from New Arrival. I cut them out, then punched a hole in each corner of the square. Then I threaded ribbon thru, put a rattle between each 'baby' and spaced them out. I LOVE how it turned out! (and how easy it was!!)

Bulletin Board

Our bulletin board at church has not changed in at least 4 years (that's when we moved into the ward). There were pin-pricks in all the papers, it was jumbled and chaotic. I asked the Bishopric if they minded a change and they were all for it. I couldn't get a good shot of it, but you get the idea of what I did from this picture. There is a heading for each organization for them to put up a calendar, announcement, flyer, etc.

Design Team Submission

So I love following My Pink Stamper and was so excited to see she was looking for new Design Team members for the next 3 months. Here's the card I made to submit. (The inside of the card says Happy Birthday) I was not selected, but that's alright. I had fun making the card!!
