January 9 Daily Project

Welcome everyone! I really hope everyone is having a great new year! I'm not one to make resolutions because I break them within the first few weeks, but this I am making it a goal to do more crafting. I figure that's a goal I should be able to keep, at least I'll have more fun than losing weight!

My project for today is a name plaque that I created for my room at school.

Materials:

cardstock from stash

pattern paper: Claire from CTMH

copic markers

Daily Project

Welcome to my little part of blog world.  Hope everyone out there had  a wonderful Christmas!  If you don't celebrate Christmas I hope your winter holiday was just as wonderful.  For my project today I'm sharing a layout of Allie.,  This particular layout is about our drive home after I picked her out.

Hello Kitty Font:  title: cut at 2" after being welded
Summer Vacation:  map, corner arrow, curve arrow, cut at 2"

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas

Hello one and all!  This week's challenge at Exploring Cricut is to create a card, layout, or other paper craft to celebrate Christmas.  For my project I created another Christmas Card.

For this project I used the Sparkle & Shine paper line from CTMH along with Ruby, gray and juniper cardstock.  I added a silver and white ribbon.  I stamped the three trees with the stamp set Trim the Tree (CTMH) with Juniper ink, the two in back are in 2nd generation.  I then added a sparkle outline to the front tree.

Cricut cut:

Art Philosophy:  3 trees at 2.5"

Daily Project

We're just a few weeks away from Christmas and I thought I'd share a layout for today's daily project that brings back pleasant thoughts of summer.  Granted this particular activity was a TNT outing to McDonald's for ice cream after delivering candle jars to the shut ins.

Cricut Cuts:
Nursery Rhyme:  title:  1.71" then welded
Sweet Shop:  ice cream cones:  3.12"

I used liquid glass on the cones to make them stand out.

Pattern paper is from Memory Works
Cardstock is from stash
