Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Here's hoping that you all had a great Christmas.  My family was very good to me and knows my love of all things crafty.  Here are a few pictures of some crafts I made for family and friends recently.  I made glitter ornaments for the kids last Christmas and they were a big hit so this year I made them for the adults, the girls at the bank and a new addition to my daughters best friends family.

 I then put them in a paper bag with an M & M stick with a tag sticking out.  I was running out of time or I would have decorated the bag.  Working 2 jobs made things a little rushed.

 For my Nieces and Nephew I bought Christmas mugs and added hot chocolate, mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips.  In the sticks are Skittles and Reeces Pieces.

 Here are some pictures of my gifts.  My daughter is taking me to Ikea to get an Expedite shelf next week so she got me some purple baskets.  I got the Cricut E2 Anniversary Edition which came with 4 cartridges loaded on it.  For cartridges I received Kate's Kitchen, Best Friends, Better Together, Blossom, Bubblegum, Yummy and Country Carnival all for the Imagine, Art Philosophy, Go Canada and All Sports.  I also got copics, Perfect Pearls, Liquid Pearls, Stickles, Tim Holtz Ink and Blending tool, DCWV Baby Girl stack, My Creative Time Lollipop die, circle and scalloped circle die, Classy and Fabulous Stamp bundle and the Valentine's bundle.  So much fun stuff to play with.

Wishing you all good health and happiness in the coming new year.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such encouraging comments throughout the year and I hope you continue to come back and visit.

Word Collage Christmas Gifts

Ever since I bought the Word Collage cartridge I have wanted to do some home decor with it.  I picked up some 12 x12 frames at Michael's and laid out my first project on my Gypsy.  The Wine word collage is long so to fill up the frame I used Lyrical Letters for the word Wine along the side and some ribbon.  I was time consuming weeding the excess vinyl and making sure all the letters stayed in place.  I then used Transfer Tape to line it up on a 12 x12 piece of scrapbook paper.

 Supplies:
Paper:  Christmas(Anna Griffin)
Vinyl: Black (Cricut)
Cartridges:  Word Collage, Lyrical Letters
Embellishments:  Ribbon (Celebrate It)

For my next ones I decided to use my Imagine and print it on the paper.  I used the fit to page feature, filled the image with brown and used the print only option.  Done in 5 minutes.  Both of these are also from Word Collage and Stampin Up paper.  I will definitely be making more of these this way.

Let me know what you think.  Thanks for stopping by.
I am going to link this up to the Made it Myself Monday over at You Had Me At Craft.

Sophisticated Birthday Card

I needed a birthday card for my friend and boss and I wanted something a bit more grown up.  I automatically went to my Sophisticated cartridge and found this frame.  I designed it on my gypsy and coloured it in using the Imagine Heirloom cartridge.  It was a little bit bigger than I wanted but I still think that it turned out nice putting it on and angle on the 5x5 card.

Supplies:
Paper: Brown, White (Recollections), Spice Cake DSP(SU)
Cartridges: Theresa Collins Sophisticated, Imagine Heirloom
Ink: Brown(Momento)
Stamps: SU
Embellishments: Brown pearls (Recollections)
