Alphabet Flash Cards FCCB #217

 I made this for a cute little girl that I tend.  She is turning 2 next month.  I had to make sure the cards had a ladybug in them, so she'll never forget me.  This is a great project to use a lot of cartridges.   Also used up some retired paper.  The letters on the front are stamped, and the words on the back are computer generated.  I then made a template to cut the tags out with  my Cricut.  After finishing the cards and the container, I laminated everything, to help make it last a long time.  I should have kept track of how many hours I have into this project, but I think it would devastate me.  So, I'll just look at how cute it is, how fun it was to make, and the little smile I am sure it will receive.  

Cartridges Used:

 

Daddy Day Presents

Well, I finally got them done.  I have been trying to get this little project done all week. There has been one thing after another.  So I haven't been able to.  Now, it's down to the nitty gritty.  Thank goodness the world cooperated with me today, or I would've been doing this Sunday morning. Ugggh!   These are the gifts my daughter and bonus daughter are giving their dad's to celebrate father's day!

Here is one of phrases:

In the entire MILKY WAY of  dads, I really SKORE'd when I got you!
You make me SNICKER when you talk like Marvin the Martian.
I admire that you can fix any WHATCAMACALLIT.
Dad, I wouldn't trade you for 100GRAND!
Hope you have an EXTRA special Fathers Day!!!

I cut the boxes out at 7" the cards are cut at 3" using "Sweet Treats"!  We taped the candy bars onto popsicle sticks then stuck them in foam.  Of course wrapped them all pretty, and they are ready to roll.  I may make my dad one also.  Still trying to decide. I am entering this in the Fabtabulous Cricut challenge me Monday!

Challenge #214 Celebrate Dad  

Hurry go your project you made for your dad with your Cricut.... you have until Sunday!  You could win a fantastic prize from SVGcuts $50.00 gift card... sounds great to me! 

I had a fun time with the girls making these....they will get the credit, even though I did the work.  That's what you sign up though, when you are mom.  (or bonus mom)  Have a great day!

Frog Cookie Box for St. Patrick's day

We had a St. Patrick's day party over the weekend. 

I made this cookie box to share some cookies I made on 

Friday, with my daycare kids.  They all got to decroate

some cookies to take home.  We had a fun day.  It was a fun weekend as

 a matter of fact.  It was warm enough to take a bike ride.  We had a bit of a lazy

Sunday, watching some 007 movies, and made an Irish dinner.  

I hope all of you got to have some fun too.  

Recipe:

Live Simply: Frog 6"

Sweet Treats: The box

Everyday Paper Dolls: Hat and Pot O Gold

I used some green glitter on the hat, and dazzling diamonds

on the gold.  Googlie eye on the frog.  The cookies

were definitely the hard part.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

Bradon's 18th Bday

I made

I made this card for sons 18th birthday.  Like most of us with kids, I really don't understand where the years have gone.  I am very proud of him, he is a good kid, and pretty darn handsome too. 

I used the Cricut to cut out the star (George Font) , 18,(Ashlynn's Alphabet) and phrase (Sweet Treats) For the background i used the shaving cream technique. With SU colors: Pacific Point, Crumb Cake, & Chery Cobbler.  After cutting everything out, I adhered the 18 to the star, and used some iridescent ice from SU to make it all sparkle. I also threw some star brads on. 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful day. 

Another 18 card

I had so much fun making my sons first card. I decided to make another. My girlfriend gave it to him. LOL

Made with Cricut cartridge "Sweet Treats: 

This is such a fun cartridge, you should get it, if you don't have it already.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you do something magical with your day!

40 Candles

So my nephew finally made it to 40, Well, actually bday is today!!!!! but, his wife threw him a surprise party over the week end. I was asked  to make the cake (which I will post later).  I wanted to make a 40 card, I don't think I ever have before.  I used the "Sweet Treats" cartridge to cut out the pieces for this card. I like it, because it's not too over the hill, but it's dark enough, he knows he's 40.

Anyway, his party was a lot of fun, and I got to play with my Cricut!!!! That makes any day better. Have a great day!!!!!

Butterfly Cake Pops

 This is for one of my parents that I tend for.  She always bakes me the most delicious brownies for my birthday.  Can you tell I have really been into the boxes and the cake pops lately?  They are just so fun and not to difficult.

*The box is cut from Cricut-Sweet Treats
*The card and box decor are cut from Cricut-Tinkerbell and friends
See how to make the cake pops her. 

Have a wonderful day!!!!!

Happy Bday Gwynie~ Cake Pops

I made these for my Gwynie.  I love that little girl. I am so glad that her and her family were put in my life.  Her and her brother started as part of my childcare.
I quickly fell in love with them, and their parents are some of
my best friends.


Cake pops are the best thing ever invented to use up a cake that flopped in the middle. I didn't ruin one today.  I did have an extra in the freezer though, so it was sacrifices for some cake pops I wanted to make for a birthday party.
**The box, and card are cut from "Cricut-Sweet treats" 

*Break up the cake, then place in mixer, turn on mixer and crumble up cake a little. Add frosting while stirring.The cake should resemble brownie mix.  Allow mixture to set for a few minutes before shaping.  Melt the chocolate and place the sticks in the bottoms, allow to rest in fridge until stiff.  Then you can decorate you cake pops however you desire. 

RECIPE: 

2 - 8" cakes 

2 cups frosting 

lb melting chocolate 

Popsicle sticks

After letting the pops set up. I decorated this box, put some styrofoam in the bottom and funfetti! All you gotta do is stick the pops in and you are ready to give this as a gift. Shown above is a picture of the cake  box and matching card.  It looks so cute with the pops inside. Very fun idea, and gift.
