Birthday Gift for our Niece

Here is a gift I made for our niece. I love making stuff for her. She is such a cool kid. : ) I used SU! Melon Mambo classic ink, Basic Black classic ink, Neutrals markers (Basic Black and Basic Grey), In-Color Marker (Melon Mambo), Large Star punch, A Little Somethin' stamp set, and Extreme Elements stamp set. I used my die-cutting machine for the letters. The frame was purchased at a local retail store. I used the Cricut and vinyl for her door decorations. So much fun!

Christmas Card 2009

Here are our Christmas cards for this year. DD helped with the cards this year. She was so excited. If you are on our mailing list, they will be in your mailbox within the next week or so. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Ornaments

I got this idea from someone on the Cricut mb last year. She did such a beautiful job. I had to try it out this year and I have to say, I love how they turned out! They are really simple to make. You just cut paper into strips, wrap around a pencil and pop the paper into the ornament. You repeat this until you are satisfied with the look. Then, tie ribbon to the top of the ornament and wahlah! You have a homemade ornament. I did quickly realize that double sided paper looks a lot better than single sided paper. : ) Hope you enjoy.
