Car Spec Board

This is a display board that I made for a friend of my husband. He has a car that he takes around to car shows and wanted a big board made with all of the specs and additions to what he has done to it. The wording is done in silver vinyl with the tittles done in red vinyl. The board is one of the display boards that you can get at your local Staples. He is going to be putting some Dyno sheets on the left side which is not visible in the photos.

This board took me 12 hours to cut out and weed. It was definitly one of the most time consuming projects I have ever attempted. Because of the silver letters and the black back ground, I couldn't see where I was placing them so the tape guides were useless and the lettering had to be placed free hand. That is why they aren't completly straight. I was having some issues with my transfer tape not sticking very well but am happy with how the project turned out overall.

Christmas bags

For the teachers gifts I wanted to make the gift bags more Christmas like so I made a Mr. & Mrs. Clause at 2.5 inches tall. The pair can be found on the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge from Provo Craft.

The brown paper gift bags I found in the craft section of a local Wal-Mart. I decorated them using stamps from Stamping Up. What an easy and in-expensive way to give gifts. I am definitly looking forward to making more of these bags for other occaisions.

This is the frame I have done for myself. The papers are virtually the same with a couple of extra pieces also from My Minds Eye. The background piece on mine is darker which worked out great because of having a black and white photo added.

This is the photo frame that I have made for my mom for christmas. In it are 2 photos of her 5 grandchildren.

The frame is from Creative Memories and the paper is from My Mind's Eye (Lost & Found series)

The photos were printed in a sepia tint and are both 5x7 before being slightly cropped.

How cool is this?

So I stumbled across this amazing new product that I think I need to get my hands on. It's called a scrap N tote and it is a large heavey duty binder made for storing your cricut carts, books and overlays. The binder comes with 12 heavey duty sheets of clear plastic with 3 pockets on each sheet. So each binder will hold 36 carts in total. Or if you want you can double up on some if they are lites or solutions.

There is also a clear pocket for other supplies as well as a plae to store your 12x12 matts and some paper.

This is the chocolate Everyday Display from Creative Memories. For the month of November, when you purchased the display, you recieved a bonus package of papers and 2 clear decorative overlays. There are so many different things to make with this and it was a lot of fun to play around with.
I ended up making ours a family display with a photo of the 4 of us and then the boys playschool until current school pictures.
When I showed my hubby, he said "huh, looks like we need to get some new photos done"
Hmmm, you think? Lol. That family photo is at least 4 years old!

Merry Christmas!

I am only 2.5 years behind in my boys albums now so I am very happy. Lol.

I love this page as it shows the joy that christmas eve brings to my boys. They love getting Santa's plate ready before they go to bed. Our Santa plate was painted by a very good friend of mine named Kimberly. As you can tell, she is very talented.

The papers and embellishments used are all from Creative Memories.
