A Sweet Baby Card


This is a card I made for a friend that just had a baby. I saw a similar card on the Cricut messageboard and thought it would be perfect. I used DCWV Baby Girl stack. I just love this paper. The scalloped circles are Nestablities. I cut the lamb from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. I cut it three times and layered it with pop dots. The top layer is run through the Cuttle Bug using D'Vine Swirls. I cut the ticket tag from Stretch Your Imaginations, once on black out and once on shadow. The sentiment is from Stampin Up! I added a little ribbon, inked the hooves, and used a little Prisma pencils for the nose and cheeks. I think is came out very cute!




Here is a close up of the lamb.




Classroom Decor


I have been meaning to share these pictures for a while now but just got around to it. These are pictures of a few ways I have used my Cricut Expression in my classroom. The first picture is of my door. I used Zooballoo for the monkeys and vines. I had to do the vines in Design Studio because I wanted them as long as I could. I inked the edges of the vines and added googly eyes to the monkeys. I also used Pooh Font for the words and welded them in Design Studio.

The second picture is of our classroom calendar. The title was created in Design Studio by my daughter, Julia. She used Pooh Font and Zooballoo. I, along with the help of my daughter , Susanna, cut all the animals and numbers using Zooballoo.We stamped the faces using Peachy Keen face stamps! (I know that Columbus Day is not in August but we havn't gotten around to making the other months. School started and there is not nearly as much free time!)

September MCPT Challenge


I made this card for the September MCPT Challenge on the Cricut message board. This was such a cute image. I put it together and gave it to my sister for her birthday. I colored the image with Prisma pencils and mineral spirits. I used Crystal Stickles for the icing and Glossy Accents on the strawberry. I doodled and inked the edges and added ribbon and a little bling.

Card Set and Door Hanger

Here is a card set and door hanger I made for a swap that I am participating in.





I found the directions for this card box from Split Coast Stampers. I love this paper. I found it at Hobby Lobby. I used Accent Essentials for the scalloped squares and Opposites Attract for the "K".
I altered this door hanger for my partner. I painted this with acrylic paint in sky blue. I cut the snowman from Stretch Your Imaginations using the shadow feature. I added an orange gem for the nose and used Rain Dots for the eyes, mouth, and buttons. I added snow flakes using white acrylic paint. I used Modge Podge to glue the snowman onto the door holder. I then added snow using wall spackling. I just frosted it on and waited for it to dry. Once dry, I painted it with white acrylic paint. I then used Modge Podge to cover the whole thing and sprinkled Martha Stewart glitter while it was wet. Once dry I added a ribbon and snowflake. I really like the way this came out.

Saundra's BOAB

I am finally posting pictures of the items I made for the Box On A Budget swap I participated in on the Cricut message board. It is such a fun swap and really takes me outside of my comfort zone.

This a picture of the ATC, altered binder clips, book mark, card candy, tags, and altered notebook I did for my partner.



This is the altered door hanger for my partner's favorite holiday.

I altered a pop-top can and filled it with my partner's favorite goodies and I also alterd an acrylic picture frame to be a post it note holder.


This is an altered picture frame. I really love the way this turned out.

I made a note card holder and filled it with cards, tags, and small note cards.
This is a window frame card and cuts that I made for my partner.

This was great fun. Thanks for looking at my pics!
