Birthday Card

White card with letter stickers spelling out the phrase. Chalked all four edges in peach. Used terrifically tacky tape to adhere the ribbon stem, ribbon leaf, flower and button. Added some coordinating stickers around the flower and also on the inside of the card.

Flower Pot Card

I used the Cricut cartridge Walk in My Garden to make this card. For the back flower pot, I cut it out using the mirrored image. I made a blue/purple version and a red/orange version. There are four layers on flower. Two are cut out on solid paper. Two are cut out on paper with a print design. I saved the cut file if you are interested.

Great Gift Idea

This tile is a great gift. I especially love the color of the tile. I made three of these for wedding gifts and have decided to make one for myself. This is extra easy with the Cricut Expressions but I actually had it spaced and ready to cut with my smaller circut before Brad decided to buy me the bigger one. Doing a tile like this is definately much easier with the designstudio software - I made one similar to this without the software a year ago and it was a lot more work. One of the best things about this gift turned out to be the wrapping. I bought an easel to go with the tile and then I just wrapped the tile and attached the easel to the outside with a ribbon. Then I used the easel to hold the card in place. It made for an adorable gift.

Chore Charts

These are the chore charts I made for the girls. I found pictures on the internet to go with each job that I wanted. I put everything on with velcro so their jobs change each day. Gracie has been so motivated to do her chores. I am really happy with it so far. I had all the extra pieces in a baggie on the back of the chart. It works okay but I am putting the extra pieces on the back with velcro. I think this will make it more user friendly.

Mother's Day Card

Easter Treats

Annie's brand in the natural foods section just happens to sell bunny shaped graham crackers year round and thought they would be a less sugary gift than the usual Easter candy. I put them in snack sized baggies so I could get about 8 small gifts out of one box of crackers. Then I stapled card stock to the top of the bag and added a stamp and the name.

Modge Podge

Looking for tips on Modge Podge - I have several projects I want to try and I have never done this. Anyone have any good ideas?

Boxes

I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More cricut cartridge to make different colored boxes for each player in on ongoing weekly game to keep our cards separate and tidy. The crayon box would have worked great for this as well, but there wasn't as much room to expand.

Calendars

I borrowed the idea for these from here. I liked this idea because you can vary it to use whatever you already have in your collective stash, and the sizing is perfect to get 4 calendars from an 8-1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock. I bought the plastic holders at an office supply store for barely over a dollar. The calendar I printed at home from my computer. I will post the rest of the months as soon as they are done! Don't throw them away, please, since they can be reused in the year 2015. :) Or maybe I will just send updated months for next year and you can cover up the old dates.
