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.

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.

MAG Challenge 36

Well, I have decided to enter another MAG Challenge. I am just loving this site because I get a chance to look at some pages on a cart that I may have overlooked. This challenge is with the Create-a-Critter cart using the images on page 59. I decided to make a scrapbook page using the star and horse shoes as background images. The stars were stamped with the peachy keen pk-490 set. The eyes were colored in with glitter pens.
