WOW....

It has been a long time since I have posted anything and the last post was about why I hadn't been around much.  Well not much has changed, still busy but that is all good news.  I have even set up a table selling my items at a local art center.  Besides my business keeping me busy, I have also been running and organizing a fundraiser for my local SPCA shelter.  Last Nov. we raised $1500 for them with a craft show.  I was even asked to go on the radio the day before to promote it and then had the TV news crew there the day of the show!  I was a bit nervous but made it through.  Anyway, here are some things I have made over the past few months. 

Tie Dye Shirts ~ Got the Yudo Machine and love it!

Halloween Gifts & Items using my Cricut

Thanks for checking them out!



Chocolate Nugget Box Revisted

When I origianlly made this .cut file I used george and celebrations carts. Someone on the Cricut MB liked this .cut file but didn't have the celebrations carts. So I recreated it with George only. The new file can be downloaded from the right under "Cricut DS Cuts". I haven't cut it yet to see how it looks cut, let me know if it works or if there is a problem. Enjoy!

My first BIA Project!

I finally got a BIA and here are some mini books I made with it. I love to recycle when ever possible and I got to use some recycled materials with these. For the covers I used decoarative tissue boxes. I lined the inside of the covers with a cordinating paper and added a little design to the outside of the covers. TFL!

Diaper Cake ~ Four Layers

This is the latest diaper cake I made! It has four layers and rose buds made from baby socks.

Baby shower favors

These are some candy favors bags I was asked to make for a baby shower.

Chocolate Nugget Box

I can't remember where I saw this on the web, but they made it with 2 punches. Here is my version that I made with my Cricut DS. The nuggets don't fall out of the sides as long as you have it tied tight enough. The .cut file is on the right!

Bath Salts in a jar!

I got the bottles from a friend. She works in a building that has a couple of different types of companies in it. The one company ordered a ton of these bottles, but they were the wrong type so they were just going to throw them out. Knowing that I am a crafty person, she grabbed some before they threw them out. When she gave them to me she said "I know you will come up with something to do with these!" So here is what I came up with! I use my Cricut to cut the tags and stamps from Stampin' Up for the lables.

Sourcream boxes

These are some sourcream boxes I made filled with candy. I made 18 of these and handed them out to co-works. They are soooo easy to make!

Here are the directions to make these from Splitcoaststampers.com!

Five in One Template Box (aka large scallop box)

Here is a box I made with Cricut
