Birthday Party Decorations

My grandbabies had their birthday party yesterday. The baby turned 1 on March 5th and her big sister turned 3 on March 7th.  They are growing up fast! Their parents rented a gym for the party and had a blow up bouncy slide and  cotton candy machine.  The party turned out great! I think everyone had a good time. I made the decorations using my Cricut and Create a Critter cart.  I also made the lollipop flowers using the George cart. I didn't take many pics of the decorations for some reason. I had also made a birthday banner that I didn't take any pics of :(   We ordered the cakes   from a local woman. We gave her a few of our Cricut cuts to show her how we were decorating and she just did an awesome job!!

Holiday Recipe Album

Since it was marathon baking day around here I thought I would add they cute recipe albums I made.  These were inspired by Mary at cardztv.  Here is her link. http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2010/12/holiday-cookbook-album-part-3.html     I made the top one for myself and the bottom album I gave to my mom.  I used Plantin Schoolbook for the font and welded them together using my gypsy. Storybook for the scalloped square on the front of the album. To make the tab pages I used a rectangle from George and welded a scalloped square from Storybook. Thanks for looking and have a great Holiday!!

Twilight Swap

These are for a Twilight recipe swap that I was in on the Cricut Message board. I used the Martha Stewart drippy goo punch, stickles and primas. I cut the circles out t using George. I can't wait to get the rest back! I love Twilight!

Water Bottles

I picked these bottles up at our Walmart. They were on clearance for $1.00.  I used white contact paper.  For the pink bottle I used Gypsy Wonderings.  The green one I used A Child's Year and Stone Script and the blue one I used Everyday Paper Dolls, George and A Child's Year.

Minnie Mouse Layout

We went to Disney World in July 2009 and I just printed our pix. I don't know why it took me so long to get them printed! But I did catch a good sale at Walgreen and got over 200 pix printed and sent to my house for $18.00.  I haven't done a layout in a long time so it will probably take me a while to get in the groove. Anyway here is the first of many.  The I used my gypsy and George to make the Mickey head in the upper left corner and added the bow. I ran the mats thru the Cuttlebug and added stickles to the white polka dots

3x3 Cards with purse

I have been wanting to make a 3x3 card set for a while. I finally got a chance to make one this afternoon.  The colors are not really showing up very well in this pic but it is lavender and white. I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More for the purse but I did do some adjustment with my Gypsy.  Dream is from Gypsy Wonderings and the scalloped square is from Storybook.  I ran the square through the Cuttlebug using Divine Swirls. That is one of my favorite folders.  I did a zig zag stitch around the edges. Don't look to close at that. lol.  I wasn't paying attention to all the adhesive I was using and when I went to sew on the cards my needle got all gummed up.  I think it still turned out ok to use as a pattern.

 

Princess layout

I made these altered journals for my daughter's cheerleading team.
