Christmas with the Cricut-Gift Item

I know I’ve said this already, but this week just flew by.
I want to thank Joy, Melanie and Tammy for inviting me to be a part of Christmas with the Cricut. I had a lot a fun and really enjoyed making these Christmas projects and reading all of your comments. Thanks to all of you for stopping by and following along this week. It’s been a joy.

I also want to send big hugs, to my sweet dear friend Teri. I’ve always admired your work and it was an honor to share the same week of CWTC with you. You are a true friend!
Now for today’s final project: Today is Crafty Gift day. If you remember back a few days ago when I posted my gift packaging project, well I made this to go inside my package.


My gift item is a glass ornament that I etched with the Armor etching cream. I cut a snowflake on Cricut vinyl from Winter Woodland, and etched my ornament. I then added a little gem to the center to give it a little something extra. I also cut a tag from Storybook and stamped a little holiday sentiment. The ornament fits nicely into my gift box.

For somemore inspiration on gift items head on over to Teri’s blog and check out her project for today. And of course you need to go to CWTC to comment and be entered to win one of the many generous giveaways.

Thanks again and I’m so glad you stopped by. post signature

Christmas with the Cricut-Gift Package

Today is Gift Package day for Christmas with the Cricut. I really love this cute box and wanted to show you how I made it, but when I went to Michaels and AcMoore they didn’t have anymore paper mache boxes on the shelves:( So I decided to make a video of a smaller version of today’s project.
Enjoy!

Supplies: Cricut Cartridges: Winter Woodland and Storybook, pattern paper, poinsettia flower, brad, satin ribbon, and a whole lotta love.

Now head on over to Teri’s blog and check out her project for today. Teri is so awesome and talented, we have become such good friends. Thanks T, you are a sweetheart!

A Teacher Gift


Hi All,
We had such a busy weekend. We worked in the yard all day yesterday, getting our plants in and finally mowing the lawn after several days of rain. I even had a chance to work on my son’s gift for his teacher. I can’t believe school is done this week. Then it’s time for summer break. Well for Ethan anyway. I’m so lucky and blessed to have my mom watch him over the summer. I know it’s not easy for her taking care of Ethan and my Dad who has been in a wheelchair for almost 2 years now. Words can never say how much I love my mom.

I mod podged some K&Co. paper to the white tin box and added some Certainly Celery Stampin’ Up! ribbon and printed my sons teacher’s name on some white cardstock and punched it out. I also made a set of note cards to match and a notebook using my Bind It All machine. I still have a nother set of note cards to make in another style pattern paper.

If you have a Bind-it-all machine and would like the instructions on how to make it, visit Robyn’s Blog HERE. She made this during National Scrapbook Day and I just can’t stop making them.

Have a great Monday

Happy Crafting!
