Baby Shower Decorations

Created these items for my daughter's upcoming Baby Shower, I love the way they turned out. Although I have to say right now I have a LOVE/HATE relationship going on with Vinyl!! But I do like the way they turned out and hope she will.

I used my Fairy Cut Software for the Curlz font which my daughter loves.


Monogrammed Piggy Bank

Found these little frames at M's and knew what I wanted to do with them. Love the little black bow on the frames!

Name Plate, this is where my love/hate relationship came in!!! But I LOVE IT!

I am working on a banner, circle mobile, diaper cake, and tin cans this weekend. Once I am done I will share pictures of it all put together.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a Blessed Day!

Nautical Wedding Invitations

Created these Wedding Invitations and RSVP cards for my son's upcoming wedding. They wanted a Nautical theme, she loved the anchor and he loved the old world map so we compromised. I love the way they turned out.

My Cricut Craft Room "Cancer Support" Blog Hop 7-16 thru 7-17

Welcome to this weekend's Cancer Support Blog Hop that Erica over at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/ is hosting! If you did not start at her site please head over there now. You should have come from Emily's blog if you are on the right track. For this blog hop I created a "Hope" Wordbook for a very dear friend, loved the way it turned out!

Cricut Cartridges Used: George and Basic Shapes, Don Juan, Indie Art, Stand and Salute, Home Accents, and Serenade

The paper I used was some left over glitter white and pink paper from DCWV, breast cancer paper was some I had left over, I believe it is from Karen Foster. Used some small embellishments I had sitting around.

Word book squares and letters were cut out at 6.41 inches high. Once I had all the words cut out, I adhered the paper to it, added the embellsihments, VOILA! It doesn't take that long to create one of these. Hope you enjoyed my creation today, I know the lady receiving it will love it.

Thanks for stopping by today, I love to read your comments and

would love to have you become a follower if you would like.

Now you are headed over to Heather's blog, http://operationcricutdesign.blogspot.com
