Christmas Swap!!

I participated in a Christmas swap on the Cricut forum. We were to create 20 items based on the Christmas song - Chestnuts Roasting on a open fire.

These are what I received from my secret sister, Candy.

Cricut Craft Room Quilted Ornaments

I have had Quilted Ornaments in CCR for awhile but have not tried cutting them. I originally set out to make a 3D ornament but the cuts are so integrate and I don't think I used heavy enough paper, so, unfortunately they didn't turn out.

So I used the ornaments that did cut nicely to make a set of note cards. I sprayed the ornaments with glimmer mist and then with a red alcohol ink. (This doen't really show up in the picture unfortunately.  )

Cricut Circle Challenge #9

Wow! It is November 5th today!! Time is flying by. Christmas will be upon  us before we know it.
I have just finished the last challenge! What fun I have had creating!!

The challenge was to use a dressform design in the project. My sister-in-law is turning 60, so I made a purse for her gift!

CRICUT CIRCLE CANADA CHALLENGE #8

This challenge was take a cricut cut - just one layer - and see what we could do with it.

I cut a black butterfly from Sophie and glued on micro beads - clear and gold colored.

Mini Album

This is the first Mini Album I have made. I saw a demo on YouTube . It is made from 1 - 12x12 piece of cardstock. My is for a gift, therefore it has not pictures. I have entered it in a Cricut Circle challenge.
(I will try and find the link to the YouTube video instructions)

Christmas Layout with Rufus!

Well, here is another challenge for the Cricut Circle Canadian members, for a traditional Chritmas theme layout.

I did an 8x8 layout with my snow dog Rufus. He loves the snow and always comes in with snowballs stuck in his fur, that is on the odd occasion when we actually get snow.

I use Winter lace for the snowflakes, Joys of the Season for the Christmas tree and Phrases for Happy Holidays.

Halloween Luminaries!! BOO!

I created these luminaries combining two cartridges - Pumpkin Carvings and a new one Merry and Bright. first time I have used Merry and Bright.

Love how they turned out!

Ready for the Trick or Treaters!

Cricut Sophie cartridge card

The Canadian Members of the Cricut Circle are having a number of Challenges and #6 is to create a project using a cartridge we haven't used before.

I created a card for my MIL using the Sophie cartridge. It has some beautiful cuts on it.

Wedding card

The Royal Color Challenge #1!

This card was made for my husband's nieces wedding. I included part of their wedding invitation to make the card special for them!

Granddaughters 16th Birthday Card

I made this card for my Granddaughter's 16th birthday. I put a picture of her in the car and added an Action Wobble to the back so it looked like she was driving!! She loved it.

My granddaughter, Katie, graduated from high school this week so I made her a card using the Cricut Teddy Bear Parade cartridge.

Getting down to Business!

I ordered my business cards today!

I will have them in 2 weeks and then I can start putting together some lessons or craft parties. Looking forward to getting started!

MY NEW CRAFT STUDIO

My darling husband has built me a beautiful craft studio. It is my space to create projects and offer lessons.

I have a love of crafting and lately I am into paper crafting using my Cricut paper cutting machine to create beautiful cards.

 

DaizyChain Studio is my space to create beautiful works of art. I will be offering lessons in paper crafting, sewing, knitting and crocheting. It is a great place to host children's birthday parties, where they can create a special project.

I have always loved to craft since I was a little girl and would get jewelry craft kits from Santa. I knit, crochet, sew and most recently paper craft. I have the Cricut die cut machines and too many cartridges to name.
