She's A Sassy Lady Last Minute Gift Idea....

Hello everyone,
and Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
I can't believe how fast this year has gone by, I am so honored to be part of Sheila's Sassy Designers.....I can't believe that I am part of this Amazing group
Thank you so much Sheila for letting me share with your friends today...
Today is an Idea I saw on the Cricut Message Board,(I jUst LOVE the message board) I am So sorry  that I can not remember who it was, I will look for it, and try to post it, because she did an amazing job and deserves the credit.....
Now onto my project...

using this Diploma Frame, I purchased at Wal-Mart for $3.00

 I Cut the back off using my Exacto Knife,

 then using my glue gun, I glued the glass to the frame....

here is the frame with the glass glued to it, I didn't want my frame to have a back...

 and here is the finished frame, I used my Gypsy to weld the lines to the G then I had to use my exacto knife to cut the middle of the G,
the font I am using is from Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art Cartridge, and the & is from, Gypsy Font .....

I used Cricut Vinyl, and put it on the Front of my Frames, these were pretty easy to make, but you DEFINITELY want to used transfer tape or my Cheaper version....... drywall mesh tape, it works GREAT and I have used the same pieces of Drywall tape to make 6 of the frames so far...not to bad for dollar store tape...there are so many possibilities for these frames, I hope you will give it a try, and be sure to let me know if you make some I would LOVE to see them,
 I am making 9 of these for gifts this year , and I just LOVE how they turned out, and I hope you do too.....
Thank so much for stopping by.....
and Merry Christmas to you all!!!!!

I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas......She's A Sassy Lady DT Post

Hello Crafty Friends....
today I have a card I made for my DT post at She's A Sassy Lady, if you haven't visited Sheila's blog, you MUST visit, there is soooo much talent over there, it is sure to inspire you....
Now on to my card.....
Today's card is a 6X6

My mom LOVES the song "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" so she was the inspiration for this card....

 using my Gypsy I laid out my images from Create A Critter and Winter Frolic  and cut them out using my Expression, the Santa Hat is from Pooh and Friends and I welded it to the hIppo...

 these are my Chomas gel pen holder and mini sharpie holder, by Amy Chomas...LOVE THEM.....

 so using my gel pen holder and gel pen I replaced my blade and put in the holder....always slip a piece of scrap paper under the area the pen will go, this way you won't get any on your project or machine, I do this when I put the holder in and take it out...

 here is the pen in action, writing the words.." I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" the paper is from my stash...

 I used a red glitter gel pen, I think I need to colour in the words....the font is from Lyrical Letters.....love this font cartridge....

 here a re a few of the new products I used to put this card together...after watching so many of Sheilas videos and seeing her use it, I just had to find me some Zip DRY.....and finally I found it the other day!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!! and I picked up a bottle of Snow Writer, from Michael's it was fun to use....it will be fun to use on some of my Christmas cards.....

 I used my Corner Chomper on all my edges....I used the Cloud side, another must have tool....

 I used the tree to decorate the inside of the card...

I decided I needed to colour in the words, so using my red glitter gel pen I coloured in the word....I also went a little crazy with the snow.... :) I think he looks kinda cute with a beard....right? LOL
thank you so much for dropping by today , I hope you liked my card.....
and a BIG thank you to Sheila for letting me share my card with her friends.....
Happy Crafting....

Disney Autograph Book

Hello Crafty Friends,
today is my DT spot at She's A Sassy Lady,
thank you so much Sheila for letting me stop by your blog today and share my book with you and your friends......
we recently took a trip to Disney World, and I just had to make an Autograph Book for my Niece and SIL( for all the characters we saw to sign) SO I thought I would share this with you today, It was so much fun to make......
lets get Started.....
First I will share a picture of the book all together, then a few pictures of how it all went together....

 There are alot of pictures, so get compy.....LOL

 so to start I saved up many many cereal boxes, trimmed and cut them all to
5" x 7"

then came picking all the fun papers to cover the cereal boxes, and using one of my Favourite tools the Corner Chomper to round all the edges

using the Mickey and Friends Cart, and the Pooh and Friends Carts, I started to choose our Favourite Characters....cutting them out at 4 in.      

 I also cut out a fun shape in White for each character to sign on, then on the other page we can put a picture of the girls with each character....

next I also added some scraps to decorate the pages, and using some EK Success Punches to add a little pretty to the pages...

unfortunately Daisy was the only Character the girls could not find....:( but they can still add a fun Disney Picture here...

 Pooh Bear is my Favourite Disney Character...:)

 this is Handy Manny, I have never heard of him before, but my Niece just LOVES him, so using the Other software and my Expression I was able to find him on the internet and cut him out....she was sooooo excited to see him in her book, and to meet him...LOL

 now for some of the girls favourite Characters I don't have like Woodie and Buzz, so I just cut out a cowboy hat and thought we could maybe get some stickers of them to add to the book...

 this page is for Buzz Lightyear

 I also don't have the Princess Cartridges either, but my Girlfriend has them so I have borrowed her carts to finish off the books....Thanks Nataliya!!!!

This is an Image from that other software, I was really not happy with the way it cut out this image, so I will re-cut it out using the Cricut Cartridge I borrowed from my GF....
and to hold it all together I used my Bind It All, (love my Bind it All)


THANK YOU so much for sticking around to look at my book, I really had so much fun making it...
I did add a few extra pages blank so the girls could get more autographs from Characters we didn't think of....
I will have to borrow one of there books and post pics of the books all done,
We got so many compliments on the books standing in line (waiting to meet the characters) and from some of the characters themselves....it was so nice....

thanks again for stopping by to look at my Project today,
I can't wait to get scrapping all those Pictures we took!!!!

If you have any question please leave me a comment(I LOVE your comments)
or drop me and email
thank you so much Sheila for letting me share my project today.....
Happy Crafting

Disney Luggage Tags......

Hello Crafty Friends.....
todays post is for my DT spot at She's a Sassy Lady.....today I have a set of Luggage Tags I made for my family's recent trip to Disney World....( I am there right now!!!!!)...
I recently bought the Your Story from Cricut.com (what a GREAT Deal if you are looking to purchase one) and I have not had the chance to use it...so today we will try it out for the first time together...

 I cut out 2 black and one white to make 1 tag, the white was for the back, so we were able to write our info on them...then I used my ATG to adhere the 3 ears together...

 for the girls I used my Gypsy to weld Minnie's Bow to Mickey's ears...
(soooo cute!!!!!)

 the girls definitely out number the boys!!!!

  I must add some Glitter.....get out your Stickles....

 now lets Laminate.....turn on your Your Story....and you must push the Laminate button...lol....(I didn't hehehe) now open the laminating sheets and place the ears in between, with a little space between them

 here it is going through the laminator

now using my Big Bite I punched a hole in the ear..

now add a little pretty ribbon for the girls....( pink Zebra Ribbon from 

Wal Mart.)

and a little black ribbon for the boys....

 and here are my Minnie Ears on My suit case....all ready for take off to the Happiest Place on Earth....

Thank you so much for stopping by today,
and Thank you so much Sheila for letting me share my project today....
if you have any questions, just leave me a comment and I will get back to you as soon as I get back from Disney World...

Campin' Critter Tent and Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends,
I hope you all are having a Fabulous day......
today is my day to share a project over at She's A Sassy Lady....
Thank you so much Sheila for letting me visit you once a month.....

I just bought the Campin' Critters Cartridge and is it cute.....we love to camp so I knew I had to have this cartridge, I don't know about you but I just LOVE to open a new Cartridge, and look through the booklet, I think I look at it 3 times....right in a row...

as soon as I saw the 3D dome tent I knew that would be my first cut...so lets put it together.....
After choosing my Colours, I laid out the images on my Gypsy, to get the Largest Tent I could, I put the tent bottom on an angle on my screen.then using My Expression I cute out each piece.

and I made sure I keep all the pieces together, so I could easily identify each piece

using a bone folder, I scored all my marks, (there are little tick marks that show you where to score..

 and following the instruction from the book, I started adding pieces to the tent, using my ATG gun...

  and Scotch Quick Dry...(love this stuff) and it is strong enough to hold the little taps to the sides of the tent....

 here is the tent...almost done.

 this is the bottom of the tent, here you can see the green Fly can be glued or just tucked in, I choose to just tuck it in so the boy I am making this for can get in through the door or the top of the tent...

 here it is all done, so fun to put together......and  I think the perfect way to give a gift card.....my friends little boy just turned 7 and he loves to go camping, so I made this for my buddy Ivan, and used the tent to hold a gift card....

 now I could just give him the tent, I had to make a card to go with it.... so here is how I laid out my cardstack....

 and here it is cut out

 all cuts are from Campin' Critters except the Happy Birthday , that is from CAC. Campin' Critter even has a card funtion, this shape card is just too cute, and that little skunk roasting a marshmellow...love it...my buddy Ivan is the BEST marshmellow roaster, he makes me perfect toasty brown mashmellows everytime we are camping.....I also added some stickles to the fire,and some brown ink to the Marshmellow....

 the images from this cart are so easy to but together, only a few layers...super cute.....

 he LOVED his card and tent...and especially the gift card to the Game store....

Thanks so much for stopping by today...I hope you enjoyed my Project....
Happy Crafting!!!!!
