Happy Halloween!!

I hope everyone has a great Halloween!! My kids have been looking forward to trick or treating since the 1st of the month..lol... I have a fun post to share today, these are the treat bags I made for my 2 older boys. This is also my first big Cameo project. I must say I am liking my Cameo a bit more than my Cricut (gasp I know) and maybe it is just because it is shiny and new. Well anyways on to the post. I made skittle sticks for my oldest and closed them off with a tag and stuck on these cute "chubby"

Halloween characters, I LOVE Them! And them for my middle son I found premade treat bags at 25% off (score!) I had to use something other than candy, he isn't allowed tobring any in. I topped the bags off with a topper I found in the Silhouette store and stamped on the sentiment instead of using the one that came with the design. There are quite a few pics but I hope you enjoy!

Hello Kitty!

I made these invitations for a fellow mom at preschool. She is having a costume party for her twin girls, how fun is that! I enjoyed doing these as I do not make a lot of girly type things. This is also the first time I have used my Hello Kitty cart.. I know, it's a shame this cart is so darn cute!.

Materials used:

• Hello Kitty Greetings cart
• pink glitter glue
• orange glitter pen
• white gel pen
• Various cardstock (I don't have names, they were just in my stash)
• Kitty cut at 3.25in

Cameo in the house!!

So my cameo arrived on Monday! I'm posting the pics a little late but I have been so busy playing with it... The Cameo is lighter and sleeker than my Cricut and it is making a very welcome addition to my crafting needs. This machine ROCKS! It can print and cut as well as import and cut your own SVGs which I an loving. Stay tuned for my first project using it (I need a name for it). But in the mean time here is what it looks like..

Mannster Mash....

I don't normally share my layouts (not to sure why..) But Emma over at my creative time is having a design team call and I thought this would be the perfect submission.I was so super excited as I have been following her for a while now. Sadly I currently do not  own any of her stamps , so I made due with what I have. I can not wait to add my boys pictures! My oldest is going to be a chainsaw killer, my middle is Captain America, and my baby is going to be Edward... TFL!

Ball invite

A co-worker of my husbands asked if I could make a USMC ball invite for his girlfriend. I gladly accepted! How cute is he... I was so happy with the end result of this card. I wanted to try and mimic the dress blues the Marines wear and I think it came across beautifully. I only used the cricut for one cut one the entire card, I welded 2 shapes together using my Gypsy to create the EGA.. I hope she likes it as much as I do.

Materials Used:

• Black, blue, red and gold cardstock
• USMC rub on
• pop dots
• Martha Stewart gold ink
• Nestabilities
• Stand and Salute Cricut Cartridge

Texas Tech

I made this wreath for my little sis who is in her freshman year at Texas Tech. The wreath is made from the school colors. I used Varsity Letter for her name, it was cut from paper and a cereal box to give it some more weight. I aslo added black glitter around the letters for a bit of sparkle.
