who loves pinterest!!

I love Pinterest! You can find so much inspiration and ideas. I had a girl ask me if I could make something she saw on there, and of course I took her up as I love Pinterest projects! I used my Camo to do a print and cut instead of usuing actual maps and the name is done in vinyl. I put everything together in a floating frame and I thought it turned out beautiful!

Paper roses

I had a request to make some invitations with a matching guest book. These are for a surprise party and she really loves pink and girly things and roses. So this is what I came up with. The roses are all hand layered and curled. This project finally gave me the good excuse I needed to FINALLY go buy a Cinch..lol... I love it!! I can not wait to make more of these books and journals and scrapbooks... Oh the possibilities! I hope you like my card and book.

thinking of you

So I finally tried print and cut with the Cameo. It was really easy and I love how it added a bit of color pop to this card.  I did add a slight white border to the butterfly, I was affraid that since it was so small it would rip but the Cameo cuts like butter! I embossed one corner with a Stampin up folder and added stickles to the middle of the flowers. I also embossed the sentiment with the new Stampin up scented powders, I used melon for this card. I smells great!

Courage.

I feel like I haven't paper crafted in FOREVER... so I am making it a pont to pull out the paper and glue and make some cards or layouts... Here is what I made today while I had some down time. I have been wanting to use this stamp since I recieved it and I am very happy with the way this card turned out. The stamp set is called Courage and is from Stampin Up. I added a little color using my Prisma colors and blending it with Gamsol. I used some red and blue paper to mate the image on and added some eyelets for a little extra detail. I will be sending this card along with some goodies to a family friend who is deployed right now. TFL

Happy Valentines Day!!

Hope everyone has a great Valentines Day tomorrow!! I want to share these cute lollipop holders I did for my son's class. These were super simple to make! All you need is some cardstock, paper trimmer, scissors, stamps, ink and glue.. I used stamps from Technique Tuesday, I believe the set is calles Love Notes. I added some stickles for a little bling and put all the cut stamped images on pop dots. TFL!

Wreaths

I wanted to share a few non cricut, non silhouette projects. These are 2 fabric wreaths I have made recently. One of them is a really rich red with Hawaiian flowers on it, and the other is a very subtlr and pretty cherry blossom and sage green.

monogrammes

I have been having a lot of fun with these split letter monogrammes. I really enjoy all of the fun fonts you can do this with as well..

More on my vinyl kick.

I swear I'm still here!..lol... We are preparing to move so things have been a bit hectic and to top it off my husband is away for training for the month so I am going at it alone.. Here are a few vinyl designs I have done. I LOVE working with vinyl, so much fun.

better late than never!

So this is a REALLY late post... I realized that I never shared my turkey treats I made for my son's class.. These little guys are so cute! I used the Stampin Up sweat treat cups and sweat centers stamp set for these. I also used a variety of punches for create the feathers. This is not my original idea, I had seen a few variations on the internet and I choose the one I liked the best. They were fairly easy to make and the kids lived them!

christmas cards!

I thought I would share that Christmas cards I made this year. I used Stampin Up stuff to make my cards. Simple and I enjoyed no machines and just using rubber, ink and paper!

demask inspired

I was asked to created some vinyl for a nursery. The mother semt me a picture of the baby's bedding and I tried to make it match as close as I could. I think it turned out so beautiful. The name measures 11.5in by 24in and the demask squares are 8x10in, the swirly things (don't know the name..lol) are 4x16in. I really love making these vinyl wall decals. I will be adding more to this project when I get the right color pink delivered. I can't wait to see the whole thing put together and on the wall.

Germs....

I had a request to make a vinyl decal for a bathroom, the costomer sent me a photo and asked if I could recreated a sign she had seen. This is what it looks like.. I took several fonts and adjusted sizes and lengths. It measures about 12" by 24". I think it turned out really cute and I am thinking of putting one up in our new house.

Reindeer food!

I love Christmas!! These fun little treats came out so darn cute! I ended up making about 60 of them for my 2 oldest boys to pass out to their classes. Almost everything was made  using my Cameo, and I took a little inspiation from Stampin up. We have given our kids reindeer food to throw on the lawn every year and I am so happy to be able to share it with others!

Vinyl wall decal

here is a quick wall decal I made using the Cameo. I really love the freedom of cutting ANY font I want. The decal is about 12'' high and 24'' long. I used black matte vinyl for this.

Gobble, Gobble

Gobble, gobble... wink, wink.. This turkey is SO funny!! I fell in love this this image the second I saw it in the Silhouette store and had to have it.. I made a few cards fpr thanksgiving with it and can't wait to do more with it next year. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving tomorrow. I have a FULL house of Marines coming over. I feel so blessed that I can provide a good home cooked meal for these guys, it is the least I can do for them for all the sacrifice they make for us. Thanks for looking and GOBBLE, GOBBLE..

Mnogrammed cards

I was asked to help with a give a way on facebook andthe lucky winner got 5 of these cards. These are the colors she chose. I really like the aqua and clue combination. I used my Cameo for these. I used a stock image that came with the softeare and ungrouped the circle for the monogramme. I used a font from my compter and grouped it into the smaller circle. I place the circles on a pop dot for some added dimension. I also ran the brown and aqua paper through the cuttle but for some texture.

Tutu bow holders

Here are some more tutu bow holders I made.

Welcome baby

Some friends of mine just had a new baby.. I love babies.. I was asked if I could make some announcements for her (YAY). This is what I came up with. I used my Cameo for this project and the print and cut feature. I have to say now that I can do this I am in LOVE! I downloaded the flower pattern from the Silhouette store and juat duplicated it and put them together to create the boarders. I added in some decorative colored boarders and put them on a browm mat. I also added a touch of stickles to the flowers and a timy pink bow. I am so happy with how these turned out.

Birthday Gifts

I wanted to share some bday gifts I made for some twin girls. They were suoer easy to make and came out so cute. I also decorated thier gift bags. All cuts were from the Hello Kitty carts.

Late post.. OOPS

So I totally forgot to post this project and then my computer took a dump :( .. So I have to steal the hubby's to post. This was a bucket I made for a friends son for Halloween.. It was his first and she wanted his bucket to be special. We added a face and his name in vinyl. Such an easy project but it made the bucket just a little extra special. I can't remember the size everything was cut from but I made this one using my Cameo! I love having the freedom to cut anything. Hope you enjoy!
