M.A.G. Challenge 40

Another challenge with M.A.G. this week and it is another cart that I have but haven't really used. So this was a bit of a challenge. I decided to make a 8x8 layout using the shadow piece and the back drop for my picture.

Back to School

Here is a quick card, I put together using the 3 Birds on Parade cart and an image from my new baby the Cricut Imagine. I made these cards for my daughter, nephew and nieces who are returning to school this week. I plan to post more of the back to school projects I have made in the last week like book covers, notebook covers, and book marks.

First Easel Card

I had no idea what an easel card was until I happened upon the challenge at Celebrate the Occasion. The challenge this week is to create a birthday theme card that must be an easel. Well, after viewing a how-to video on YouTube, this is my first creation using only a small tag from the lacy label cart. The paper is from DCWV and flowers from Michael's. I am now excited to make many more easel cards.

M.A.G. Challenge 39

Well, it is that time again for another challenge. I decided to make a bookmark for my daughter. School just started back this Monday, and I enjoy making book covers, book-markers and decorating her notebooks and binders. The challenge was to use page 89 from the tags, bags, boxes and more cart.

Party Gifts

I had purchased the Xyron Creative Station a while ago but had not really used it. I decided that as gifts to the other children at day care, my son and I would make some magnets and some counting hippos for the children to play with. After cutting the monkeys and Poohs, we used the creative station to turn them into magnets. It  was so quick and easy with placing the magnet material on the back of the cuts. I now want to make more things with it.

Next we cut out 50 hippos to make 5 counting rings 1-10 and laminated them suing the Yourstory.

These three items were done in less than two hours. I put each cricut machine to work  to handle a specific item. My sister stopped by and said that it was Cricut madness going on at my house. Nevertheless, I got the job done with time to watch Rio with my son and daughter.

M.A. G. Challenge 38

Well, I did not realize that I had this cart, at the last minute, I put together a quick card for the challenge. The only thing I could think of was a Christmas scene. So here is my card for the M.A.G. challenge.

M.A.G. Challenge 37

Another challenge and another chance for me to use a cart that I have not used yet. This time it is the Hello Kitty Greetings cart. I have wanted to use it,  but just never got around to it. Well, I decided to decorate one of my daughter's index card boxes to hold her notes.  And of course, it had to have some bling.

Birthday Celebration

Oh my where has the time gone. My little man will be turning the big 2 on August 4. He is growing so fast. Therefore, for the past few days I have been in birthday party mode. I made a monkey invite card for his party and a few pink elephant sample birthday cards. I used the Create-a Critter cart for the Monkey card and Birthday Bash cart for the pink elephant.
