Fall Charger

The split regal font on this charger is from Denise Hill's Paper Pastime Blog.  She is wonderfully talented in making and sharing her files, and most of them are free.  This particular set of the full alphabet was only $5.00!  You cannot get a better deal than that!  I just sent a picture to the owner of this charger and she loves it!  Can't wait to get it to her.

Happy Fall!

Party Pooper!

My son and DIL have a Halloween party each year and everyone is supposed to dress up.  While I love Halloween, I'm not really a 'dress up' kind of person. I tried to think of something I could vinyl on a t-shirt and I think I hit the nail on the head!

If you think it, you can vinyl it!  LOL

Go Cards!

Game one of the World Series between the Cardinals and Rangers is on tonight!  What better time to make a birthday card for our great-nephew who is a Cardinals fan and who is also turning 16.

I watched a video today on how to make an Accordian and Pull Tab Card so this is what I came up with for my card.

I added a pocket on the pull tab for a money holder. I'm sure that's what most 16 year olds prefer.

Halloween Treats!

I am ready for Halloween!  I have goodie bags filled with candy, coffins filled with candy, little purses  filled with candy, sliders with hot chocolate packets and candy bars, pumpkin straws...

All of this, and we have around 8 - 10 Trick or Treaters, so I'll be packing this up and taking it to my son and DIL's to hand out.  I really wish Cricut was available about 20 years ago when my son was in elementary school so I could have made these for his school parties.  

I bought the black bucket at The Dollar Tree and added the vinyl Boo Mask file from SVGcuts.com. This was my first attempt at layering vinyl and it was easier than I had anticipated.

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Post-It!!

Here's an idea for a quick and easy gift for a teacher or someone who just likes to use Post-It Notes.  

The covers are for the 3" x 3" sized Post-Its. The cardstock measures 3 1/2" x 7".  I used my Martha Stewart Scoring Board and scored at 3 1/4" and 3 3/4" and then folded on each score line.  I used my ATG on the back of the Post-It and attached it to cardstock just below the first score line.  All that's left is to decorate the outside.  Have fun!

Diva Onesie

This little onesie was a shower gift for a friend and was so easy and fun to make.  I bought the Diva file from LucyLu Craft, Inc. and the HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl) came from CraftVinyl.com.   There were written instructions in my vinyl order so it made my first attempt a breeze!  Do not be afraid to use HTV!  

Birthday Criss Cross Card

I think the criss cross card is one of my new favorites to make.  Dimensions for this card can be found at www.faithabigaildesigns.com.  She is an amazing designer and I am so glad she shares her ideas with everyone.

I think this card will go to the next birthday on my list.

Three Stooges T-Shirt

My husband is a Three Stooges fan, so I did some looking and found this .svg file on the SmartBuyGal forum.  Once you start vinyling, it's hard to go back to paper crafting (but I do).
