Halloween Rag Wreath

I got this idea from here!

I picked up 6 Halloween fabrics from Hancock Fabrics on Monday during their Columbus Day Sale! I bought half a yard of each fabric and had lots left over. I cut 1in wide strips that were 5.5 inches long. From each fabric, I had 38 strips from each fabric, for a total of 228. I was sure I wasn't going to have enough but I used all but 8!

If I had the Halloween Cricut cartridge, I would cut a cute Happy Halloween cut for the center of it.. So maybe I'll add to it later..

Glass Etching

This was my first attempt at glass etching. I took a plain votive holder that I had laying around. I used contact paper that I bought from Target instead of using vinyl. There is room for improvement but definitely not bad for a first try.


Signs

These are signs that I made for a girl at work. They were made using my Cricut and the Don Juan cartridge.






I used brads to add details to the flowers.













Valentine's Day Present

This was made by my boyfriend as my Valentine's Day present in 2010. He did all the cutting by hand using an exacto knife. It's pretty fantastic. :)








Wedding with the Cricut

These are the cuts I made for my best friend's wedding. I used Design Studio and the Storybook cart. to weld the custom tags to decorate the packages.


(Last name blurred for privacy)



The last name was also on the presents also but it has been edited out.


This cut is available on the Storybook cartridge. This bag I decorated for her shower present.



She loved the "Happily Ever After" cut so much that she asked me to make more to decorate the card box with. :)



The card box that I wrapped with a table liner and a tulle bow. I didn't know the size of the box so it was pretty amazing that the larger cut was the perfect size. I added some little designs from the Storybook cart too.





Intro...

I decided to make this blog as a place to display the crafty things that I do. I don't consider my self to be very creative. I get a lot of ideas and inspiration from other blogs and pages that I see online. I want to be able to give credit to the people that inspire me by keeping this blog. Also hope to keep track of ideas through this blog.
