Recycled CD ornaments

We have tons of old DVDs and CDs that either have outdated information on them or would no longer work. For some odd reason we have been moving these all over the world for 10 years. When we got a new computer desk I set out to get rid of anything we weren't using and found tons of these disks. So I decided that I would reuse them and make Christmas ornaments for all the kids in my family and the kids in Rhalynn's class.

I think they turned out well.


The reindeer was cut from Doodlecharms.

The santa was cute from Doodlecharms.

The font is Plantin Schoolbook I believe and the dove is from the Christmas solution cart.

I hope that everyone is having a Blessed Holiday Season!!

Diaper cake meets the cricut!

I made a diaper cake for my dearest friend Margaret who is due with he second son in January. I could only do one layer since I'm going to have to mail it to Texas. The block on the top collapses so that the whole thing will fit in a small box. The "H" on the block is for their last name. I hope she likes and and knows that I miss her.


I used Plantin Schoolbook for all the letters. I also added baby bottles from Doodlecharms on both sides of Troy's name. And for the top of the block I used Beyond Birthdays.

Since I was posting about my first diaper cake with the Cricut I thought I'd post pictures of the other I have done. I didn't have the Cricut when I made them but I really could have used it.

Brainstorming..............

I've been busy brainstorming on what to make for Christmas gifts. Ours family are too large to buy everyone something but I try to give everyone something. Last year I altered cheap glass ornaments with vinyl. I think I might stick with ornaments. Like I said I'm still brainstorming since I try to use the things I already have.

I wanted to post a couple of cards I've made for my "just in case" stash.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy a wonderful day!

I love Halloween!

I've been super busy making Halloween stuff so I haven't posted in awhile. I'll be posting lots of goodies over the next couple of days (I hope). But



Right now I have another Halloween card that I did. I used a wood mounted Studio G for the "happy halloween". The web was cut with my Expression from the Paper Doll Dress Up cart and the spider was cut from the Doodlecharms cart.

Two cards last night!

I finally got to use my new scrapping space. (Pics of that will have to wait until I can get the girls side of the room clean). I made two Halloween cards last night. They are basically the same just different sentiments.





I used Core'dinations in my Cuttlebug. I used the Fiskers embossing spiderweb plate and think it turned out quite well. I've had the Fiskers for awhile and never used them so when I bought my Cuttlebug recently I searched YouTube for a video. I found several different "sandwiches" and they all seem to work quite well.


After I embossed the Core'dination I took a regular fingernail file and sanded it down a little. The color underneath is the same green as the spider. The spider is from the Doodlecharms cart, with googlie eyes. The "candyland" and "boo to you" were random stickers that I found in my stash. I think I got them at WM last year after Halloween.


I of course used my MS Drippy Goo punch and my brand spankin' new MS Web corner punch. The sentiments are from some wood monted $1 stamps from JA's.


Hope that everyone has a scrappy day!!

Santa Card

Good morning and happy Saturday!!! Its a wonderful day today in our household. The Hubby got back last night from a week long TDY. A week usually isn't a big deal for us but since he just got back from a 5 1/2 month deployment they girls were franic when he left. But now he is home and the girls are just as happy as little clams.



Well so on to the card. I wanted to make my Christmas cards this year but I usually say this and never do it. So I thought that if I started early enought and just worked out them occasionally I woudn't get bored with them. So I started working on them in June. They seem to be going together pretty fast.



Of course I used my Cricut (which I sometimes refer to as my third child.) I made the card and welded the shape onto it using DS. I can't even work with the Cricut with out DS. I inked Santa up a little so that he looked like he just came down the chimney. Not really sure how much I like it but it kind of grows on you.




Thanks for stopping by. Have a scrappy day!!!
