a few tiles from the Cricut!

Made a few vinyl on 12x12 floor tiles as samples for the PTA's International Festival this week. Didn't really want all of them in my own name, so made one for a good friend to pass along to her son and his family. The first is a file from My Vinyl Designer. The 2nd is anabel.alt font and the directions from my online vinyl forums - Thanks Denise Hill!!!

whew... have been busy - just not posting..

Did a bunch of cricut tiles for Christmas gifts and barely took photos of any of them! Here is today's project a wedding tile 12" x 12" for my son's best friend. I used SCAL, Design Studio and lots of Calligraphy cartridge images for this one. Used three colors - black, admiral blue and gold. Hope they like it!

some crafting in the meantime - not paper made Delaney's costume for her Munchkin role in Sing Hosanna's spring production of Wizard of Oz. Also made this orange and blue fleece jacket that grandson Chester is wearing here with DIL Daphne and my MIL Verna.

In the background you can see some Cricut vinyl decorated Easter Pails.

convention favors

Our state affiliate is hosting a national convention for National Council of Teachers of English in November. We have a special affiliate breakfast and a friend and I are doing favors for that. Here is a sampling of the favors we are making with our Cricut. They hold a few patriotic mints. These pillowbox favors with the swirly cut window, and then are cuttlebugged with either Swiss Dots, swirly, or traffic squares. Notice the difference in the ones with clear plastic and the ones with vellum behind them (ran out of plastic) I like them both actually. There is a good video on youtube featuring this pillowfolder. So far I have one hundred of these done, have cut another 50 today. We have to make over 350 total.

Here is the table bouquet I did for the Fourth of July. I am wishing I had painted the skewers before hand. I will likely do that quickly tomorrow PM and throw some red over the floral foam. Most of this was cut with Base Camp, Graphically speaking (LOVE that Freedom jumble!) with just a few cuts from the new Stand And Salute that came in the mail just this afternoon. This was the first time I used vinyl and it was wonderful sure won't be the last time I use vinyl!

Just the place
