Exploring Cricut Challenge - 2 cuts 1 monogram

Happy Monday

Today is a new challenge at Exploring Cricut. We were to create a project with a monogram and 2 cricut cuts. Well I was a bad girl and only did 1 cut. Don't tell Diane! ;) This was a project I needed to do so it worked out perfect.

I am the co-president of my daughters PTO for the upcoming year. We will be having a welcome back breakfast for the teachers. I wanted to do a few give aways for the teachers and saw this idea on Pinterest. CGS is the name of her school and the dolphin is their school mascot.

Items used:
Life is a Beach and Base Camp
Brown Vinyl
Ribbon, button twine

Happy Monday

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I was so happy to get some crafting time in and made 2 cards! :)

Today's card was for a lovely lady at work. She is going through cancer treatment, but took time out to show me how to work my camera better. I have this fancy camera but only use the auto setting! I am determined to be able to use my camera more to its full potential.

EC - Blog Hop - Christmas in July

Happy Monday and welcome to the first Exploring Cricut Blog Hop. We are doing a Christmas in July theme. If you have arrived here from Ian's blog you are on the right track. If you are starting at my blog, thanks for coming and join us starting with Sharon.

Now for Christmas in July I wanted to do a July theme with a Christmas twist. Hope I did not think too much out of the box. Who doesn't want to go on vacation to the beach? Even a snowman, or snowgirl I should say. I mean there is only 5 more months until Christmas! EEK! So everyone at the North Pole needs to get in their last few moments of relaxation before the big man puts them back to work!

I am also offering up a little prize. Just leave a comment and a way for me a way to get in touch with you. I will be announcing the winner on Friday July 20th.

Now here is the entire line up if you get lost. Thanks for coming and happy hopping!

Exploring Cricut - You are a peach!

Here is my daily project for Exploring Cricut.

I needed a pretty special card for my daughter's kindergarten teacher from this year that just ended. She made a DVD of pictures set to music of all the kids from the whole year. I bawl my eyes out each time I watch it! So sad to be moving on from her! So I needed to send her a thank you note to let her know how much it was appreciated.

Gotta Go Buffalo

Happy Thursday! Two posts in two days! I'm on a roll! ;)

This was for one of the guys at work that left for bigger and better. Another co-worker and I worked on the idea together from the preschool sayings and we decided on the buffalo one.

Thanks to my peep for this sketch. I forgot how much fun those round the page punches are! ;)

An army of Angry Birds

Happy Thursday, which is connected to Friday! WOO HOO! Hoping to get some crafting time in this weekend, but my SIL is going to help me redo my son's room. He just turned 4 and is getting a big boy bed. Hoping to squeeze a little crafting time in somewhere.

Well this little army was made as my son's thank you notes for his party. I downloaded the SVG file from the internet and cut it all out with my Silhouette. Once I got the rhythm down, they went together pretty easy. That machine still amazes me with how small it can cut.

Exploring Cricut - Father's Day

Happy Monday. I found a little bit of my mojo this weekend. Yeah! I will have a few projects for you this week. For starters, here is today's card.

Today for Exploring Cricut we needed to make a card for Father's Day. I am so glad because now I don't have to be making a card that morning. LOL! Luckily my husband does not look at my blog so I can post the card.

My dd and I went back and forth on what to make. First we were going to make something with a truck, but then she decided on this cut from Campin Critters.
