To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images. If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing! For today's inspiration I wanted to share a few reusable "non woven" tote bags decorated using Stencils (some made with my Cricut) and Acrylic Paint (Liquitex, Basics, ORANGE, YELLOW, WHITE AND RED) and a painters knife. Why stenciling? you might ask, well non woven materials don't like heat- ask me how I know ;)- therefore Iron on was out of the question. :) Why this particular brand of paint? Because I had it on hand and I really like th...

Hello friends and Happy Belated 2016!!!  I cannot believe it has been so long since my last post, we hit a rocky patch the past few months but things are slowly going back to normal. I wanted to stop by to share with you this box I made for my nephew's girlfriend. I cannot believe he is old enough to be dating!!!! I guess my word this year will be "incredulity" LOL! Anyhow, this box will hold a customized jewelry set my but he won't allow me to share until after V's day I hope I don't forget to come back and show you  what I made for her. I started with a panel of watercolor paper and art masking fluid. Then I  watercolored the heart using Faber-Castell Gelatos in two shades of blue. I stamped a few hearts using "aquamarine" archival ink. I stamped the dolphin from PCS' "Sea Ya Later" on Vellum using Black Archival ink In order to create the "mirrored" dolphins I stamped one on the front and the other one ...

Welcome to another Challenge Me Monday... Challenge #266 Anything But a Card This Weeks Sponsor: $15.00 Gift Certificate To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.   If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images. Here is my take: a set of Photo Booth props for a Sports themed party. The Coach's Whistle (Frame, page 73) and Catcher's Mask (Frame, page 41) are from Sports Mania, as well as the "All Star"(page 67) on the shades. since they are "frame" cuts, I needed to slice them using Design Space a few times, I think the effort really payed off don't you think? The mask  and whistle were cut at 10.75". The dowels were attached using hot glue. All the glasses -from Life is a party- were cut at 5 1/2" wide to fit little faces. The "All Star"...

Hello friends!  I hope your day is going well. I wanted to share with you an idea for gift tags using cookie cutters and paper clay. This is the tag my oldest child help create for week 3 SHMK challenge: Children. Inspired by this weeks theme we also  made Alphabet shaped cookies and gave a few young friends their names covered with their favorite color frosting, they were gone before I could take pictures!!! I  have enjoyed Jenniffer's challenges this is a cause that speaks to my heart and we encourage our kids to be polite and kind always :) this just feels good! Onto the project ;) My littlest nephew loves TMNT's Leonardo and he has been wanting a "lounge" set actually he calls it "soft clothes". He has eczema and it is aggravated by clothing with a high nylon or polyester percentage and unfortunately all the PJ sets our there are we found have a  high polyester or acrylic percentage. So, I had to go get some cotton fabric and luckily enough I found...

Happy Sunday friends! I hope you are having a great day, I am thrilled that I could sneak in some crafty time this weekend to create a card set inspired by Jennifer Mcguire and to play along her Share Handmade Kindness challenge, this is the second week,and the focus is Community - there is little time to enter, but if you want to play, visit her blog for details about the third week. Now, I fell in love with her card set and though my kiddos teachers would love to receive  similar sets. They have been really supportive this year especially after the loss of my FIL and GF they have been wonderful  to work with. I regularly volunteer for them every week but though this small treats will brighten their days too. I personalized with the favorite colors for each teacher. I am showing you just one as I have yet to finish the other box but is pretty much the same design but with different sentiments and colors. I used a variety of sentiments from Hero Arts, MFT, J...
