Altered Bank/Bucket Bag/Bookmark

Today I did something that I love to do. I altered something! This container was given to us by our Electric Company with two energy efficient bulbs inside. Once the bulbs are removed it becomes a bank to put all the money that you saved while using the bulbs. I started out with soft colors today and kept that color scheme through all of my projects. Today was my second attempt at using Flower Soft. I didn't use the recommended PVC glue, I just used regular glue. I will be purchasing PVC glue in the near future. The Flower Soft give the projects dimension, but it is hard to tell from the pictures. Every time I try to get a close up picture it comes out horrible. I didn't use any Cricut other than the Bucket purse that was designed by Jen C. I used my DD Cuttle Kids die cuts for the tulip and handbag. I added some bling and beads to wake up the soft colors. (Updated with close ups...although the color of everything changed in the pics>) TFL

Valentine Window Box

This box is so cute! Thanks, Jen C for the cut file! I used the same colors that I used on the Hobo purse so I may make a coordinating card next. I hope everyone is enjoying the after Christmas sales out there.

Hello Kitty, Again!!!

I'm loving this cart. This will make a cute gift bag for my daughter. I like the fact that you don't have a lot of tiny pieces when you cut Hello Kitty. I have HEA and I have never cut one of the princess's because I don't feel like dealing with the small pieces. Prepare to see more Hello Kitty cuts from me in the near future....I'm addicted. I just ordered the Kello Kitty Font cart. I can't wait to get it.

Hello Kitty

Okay, it's official.......I'm going to be a weekly or biweekly blogger. Sometimes I even forget that I started a blog..LOL. Today I found out that there was a new update to CDS, just what I was waiting for I have Cars and Hello Kitty carts but I was waiting for the Big Update for me to use them. In case you can't tell by the picture the Hello Kitty is actually a card.

I wanted to try to do a Christmas Criss Cross card with untradtional colors. I chose black and white American Crafts cardstock, Cuttlebug embossing folders, Martha Stewart punches and a cutfile that was downloaded from one of the many generous people on the Cricut Messageboard. I love the way this card came out. I will emboss it later with a "Happy Holidays" stamp. The ribbon is from Wally World.
