I love you card

This is one of those triangle fold cards. The flower and the inside sentiment were just cut out of a 12x12 sheet of paper that had little squares of different designs on it. The paper was cut at 4" x 12" and scored at 4" from both ends. Then score again from top corner to bottom corner of end sections (same angle on both ends). Fold end sections in half along score line, then fold card together. Corner folds from end sections will meet. Make your mat for the front and glue it one of the triangle pieces, with the ribbon under it. Decorate the rest and tie it up. I hope this makes sense.

Christmas Tree Gift Bags

I made these boxes in my gypsy. The box is from TBBM at 9", the oval is from George at 3.08" and the tree is from Christmas cheer at 3.12" all welded together, the tree overlaps just enough to make it part of the box. The paper is from American Crafts. The tags are stamps and punches from SU.

Christmas Gift Boxes

This is such beautiful paper, I just love it. These two boxes were done with half a sheet of 12x12 paper. Then just tied bows with various ribbons and sparkly stuff. Super easy and fast to do.

MAG Challenge #55

I can't believe it's time for another MAG challenge, time is going way to fast! This week's challenge is to use Forever Young cartridge page 43 only. You know I love 3D things so there was no question I was going to make the purse. I used my gypsy to hide the cutout and cut it at 4.5". The paper and felt accents are all from American Crafts. These were super simple and fast to do.

Cricut Circle Magazine Challenge

This is for the Cricut Circle Magazine challenge, which is to make something for the Holidays with three cuts from the Sophie cartridge. So here's my take on that. This has several firsts for me.

I glass etched the jar by cutting out card 1 at 4" and hiding the card in my gypsy, I have never cut out vinyl before or glass etched. I put fabric bond on the fabric and cut out the snowflake at 8" on the fabric for the lid, another first. The card is cut at 3". I tied several different ribbons to make the bow and then filled the jar with layered cookie mix. This was a fun project for me, I hope you like it.

Challenge Tuesday at Robin's Creative Cottage

Today is Challenge Tuesday at Robin's Creative Cottage, the challenge is to make something with either Ribbons or bows. We grew raspberries this summer and had an abundance of them so we made jam, lots of jam. So for gifts for our neighbors this year we are giving them home made bread and jam, I hope they like it.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

I made this from Birthday bash and used the cricut craft room to make it. It took a little longer than it would have with my gypsy but I wanted to give it a try. It was cut at 4", the paper is from American Crafts, the ribbon is Stampin up.

I can't believe that my baby is sixteen today! I know this is crazy and my kids will all laugh at me, but I am tearing up as I post this. We adopted this sweet little girl when she was 8 months old. This photo is after we had had her a month and fattened her up some. She is beautiful inside and out. Every single day I give thanks for her and the gift of being her mother.

Happy Sweet Sixteen Lexi! I love you!
