Some oldies....

Just stopping by to post pics of some old projects.  These were all done way back when I only had the original cricut and expression machines.  No gypsy & no CCR....

These first three projects I believe were done with Plantin Schoolbook

I think the number 18 was done using George Basic Shapes as well as the flowers attached to the bags in the background.  The bags were done with Plantin Schoolbook.  I made the tall and roly poly bags. These were party favors for my daughters' 18th birthday.

These favors were done for a Cub Scouts Blue & Gold event.  

These favors were for my cousin's baby shower. I made them using the Potpourri Cartridge.  I believe the Baby Boy topper on the diaper cake was done with  A Child's Year. 

Here are a few more close-ups of all the table decor...

This is a 1-page layout I did of my husband and I.  The inspiration came from out there in blogland and I don't have the person's name....

Using Indie Art cartridge

and the last project, cake toppers for my daughter's 20th bday cake....I have twins but only one was around at the time to celebrate the day with...

Disney Pooh font cartridge, her favorite.

Well this is all for now...back to household responsibilities, laundry & cooking.  I will be working on bday invites for my grandson's 1st bday and will post them after everything is completed.

Thanks for stopping by...have a blessed Sunday!!

Sending you crafting wishes,

My Creative Time....Again!

Hello, my dear readers....just popping in to share my submission for the latest challenge at My Creative Time.  The latest Throwback Thursday challenge calls for using a Font cartridge.  Emma's suggestion is that we not only use the fonts on the cart but also check out the shapes/images that can be found on alot of  the Font cartridges.  I know I have quite a bit of font carts and I don't use nearly half of them.  For this challenge I resorted to one of my favorite font cartridges and one of the first ones I bought when I got my original cricut machine.  In fact for this project, I even dusted off my original baby bug and put her to use. It was great.  For the challenge I decided to make another two page layout for my grandson's baby album. As I've mentioned before, the theme for this book is Winnie the Pooh.

I love this cart because not only does it have great fonts but it also has some wonderful images of Winnie and all his friends.  I don't recall where I got the base mat..sorry... The banner is my favorite part because it's not a shape but a font.  I used the wood shadow feature on the cart and selected capital "B", shift.

When you turn it sideways, it looks like a banner.  So I cut this a few times, punched some holes and put in some grommets with my crop a dile, ran some ribbon through the holes to give it more life.  I love my little banner because it was so unexpected.  

I cut some swirls from another font cart, Don Juan.  Another one of my favorites...I put swirls on each top corner because it looked a little empty.  The last font cart I used was Songbird.  It's one of my newer carts and like so many, one I haven't used often.  

I used the perch feature, and cut this little bird on a sign.  On the sign, I stamped my grandson's name using $1 stamps by Studio G. I can't wait to add the pics.  

Well my dearies, this is all for now. Time to get to bed and get some rest.

Don't forget to check out My Creative Time, spend some time with Emma and join the fun. She always has great challenges.

Thanks for visiting...

Flaunt it Fridays

Hi everyone, hope you enjoyed the weekend.  This was the first Sunday in quite a long time that I actually stayed home and relaxed.  I did a few things around the house and then decided to visit some of my favorite sites.  Boy, am I glad I did! Flaunt it Fridays is hosting a new challenge ~ challenge #24 calls for using the Disney Pooh Font cartridge, pg. 61 to be exact.  On the page you'll find Tigger and his duck.  Well, seeing as to how I have two new grandsons, I decided to do a scrapbook layout for my oldest grandson, Danny.

It's a 8x8 single page layout.  

Overrall, I'm very happy with it.  I printed the picture (3x5) I'm going to use, just so that I could get a better idea of how it's going to look.

I hope my daughter likes it.  Winnie the Pooh was her shower theme, is her favorite character and I hope to  complete his baby book with the same theme.  I already have something in mind for his first tooth layout.  As soon as I get it done, I'll post it here. 

In the meantime, I encourage you to join the challenge. Just visit Flaunt it Fridays for all the details.

Tomorrow, it's back to card making for our troops!

Enjoy!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Jeanette

BBTB2 - Disney Challenge

I just read over at the Bitten by the Bug 2 [http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/blog] that they are having a Disney Themed Challenge...so I decided to submit some invitations that I did back in August for my daughter's shower

It was a Winnie the Pooh themed shower, even though at the last minute we had to cancel the shower because her contractions started and doctor said baby could come any day.

Thanks for looking!!
