Happy Fall!

I love Fall colors!  I am a summer girl, but there is something about Fall colors that I cannot get enough of.  We were invited to a friend's Fall gathering.  She is a decorator extraordinaire!  I wanted to make something crafty for her and decided to go with a Fall banner.  She displayed it on her chili bar table.

Sorry, the colors don't show well in my photo.  I used Gypsy Wanderings to cut the leaves.  I always forget about that cartridge being on my Gypsy!  TFL

Homecoming 2012

On Saturday, my son attended his first Homecoming dance at the high school.  One of his friend's parents hosted a sit down dinner at their house for 30 Freshman.  I was asked to make the table centerpieces for the dinner tables.  Here is what I came with:

I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut the flowers and attached them to styrofoam balls with pins and buttons.  I used George for the banner and Varsity Letter for the letters/numbers.  They were a lot more tedious than I had originally expected, but I am thrilled with how they turned out.  Here is a picture of them in the room:

And here is a picture of my not so baby anymore boy:

The kids had a great time and the food and company were fabulous.  TFL



Altered CD Case/Gift Card Holder

Wow, it has been a long time!  I made this altered CD case for my good friend Debbie so she could treat herself to some Starbucks coffee.  She is going through some tough times these days and is handling things much better than I ever could.  I am proud to call her my friend!

I have about 500 CD cases at my house from a marketing plan gone bad.  I used the
"My Creative Time You Are Perk-fect" stamp set which I fell in love with at first sight.  I cut the flower in different sizes from the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge.  I stuck the gift card to the center cd button with a pop dot.  1 down, 499 to go!  TFL
