Wedding Bells.....

My little sister is getting married! He's a great guy and we are happy to have him join our crazy bunch! My sister is non-traditional and decided that she does not want to carry flowers. Well as you can imagine, that caused quite a stir with our mom. So the crafty gal that I am, I came up with what I think is a "peaceful resolution" to the problem! I'm making the bouquets out of crystals! AHHHH! I went online and researched these little things and people are charging upwards of $800 per bouquet! I ordered all the stuff, the wire has arrived, still waiting on the crystals, so stayed tuned! I did make a "prototype" for my sister to see what I was talking about, but it's made out of acrylic beads. I'll post pictures once I'm all done! Wish me luck!

What's in a name?



Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to scrapbook, but sometimes I feel the need to break out of my 12 x 12 box and do something different! Each of my girls wanted something for their rooms. Hannah's signature color is PINK, PINK & PINK! Jordan love purples and blues and anything not PINK! I made them each one of these and they loved them!

Diaper Cake!

This was so fun to make! Just a little something for the gift table! The diapers were rolled up, tied together with a clear ponytail rubber band and then tied with string to hold them in place. I used pretty ribbon to cover the string. The New Arrival Cricut Cartridge was so useful for this! The "critters" are on dowels and stuck in between the diapers! When the shower was over, mom and dad had emergency diapers just in case!

Got a YUDU?




I do! I made these shirts for my daughter's 2nd grade end of the year picnic! I think they came out pretty well considering I had NO IDEA WHAT I WAS DOING! I'm more of the fly by the seat of my pants, I'll figure it out as I go along kind of gal, rather than take the time to read the directions in their entirety!

Fun Gift Idea!




My friend had a beautiful baby boy in December 2008, and instead of the usual outfit gift, I made him a special, personalized gift! I used the Zooballo Cricut Cartridge and I think it turned out pretty good!

Fun Wreath!

I got this idea from the Cricut Message Boards! These ladies are so talented! Here's my spin on it!
Jenny Titus is the creator of this fun wreath! Here's a link to read all about her and her creation!
