Shirt Dress

My sister, Angie, had seen a blog with a tutorial for a kid's dress made from a man's dress shirt. We decided to attempt it. It was pretty easy, and I think it turned out well. We actually ended up making two in a couple of hours.

Animal ABCs

This is a book that I made for my nephew, Ryker. It is the third one I have made now! I think they turned out really cute. I got the initial idea from the Cricut messageboard (of course), and then made it my own. The pages are laminated, and then the animals are attached to the pages with velcro, so he can pull them off and mix and match. Lily has a book, and she loves to pull them all out and then match them back up. I bound the book with my bind-it-all.

The book, A to Z:



This is the picture showing the animals taken off the velcro:

A Summer Frame

This is a frame that I altered during a Swarm that my sister and I went to. The challenge was to use vinyl (the word Summer) and put a picture in the middle (hence the ugly stick figure). I found this paper and thought it was so cute. I made the feet using a cut from New Arrival and used ribbon for the flip-flops. I put a rhinestone in the middle. I also used some Stickles to accent some of the paper. I actually got fourth place out of 14 for this. I was pretty impressed with myself, considering all the talented ladies there.


Mandy also made a frame that I think is adorable, but she didn't finish it in time to enter the contest. I have a picture of Lily and her stuffed monkey that will look great in this frame!

Paper Doll Princesses

I made these princess dolls for my niece, who is in love with them all! I think they turned out pretty well. I got a lot of inspiration from the Cricut messageboard. I cut them out, blinged them up with Stickles, laminated them, and put Velcro on the back, so she can play with them with the rest of her paper dolls I made for her previously.

I also made Jasmine, but I forgot to take a picture before sending them off. Sorry!

Baby Boy Announcements

I made these for my sister, who had a baby boy a few weeks ago. I used my Cricut for must of it (of course!), including CDS to make it exactly the size I wanted. I used the Fabulous Finds and New Arrival cartridges. I used my Dreamkuts to cut the blue cards and the Cropadile to set the eyelets. I made 65 of them, so they took a while. I hope she likes them!

Baby Girl Card

I made this card for my cousin's baby. The colors went better together in real life, but I still think it is pretty cute.

My new crafting blog

Hi! I have been seeing a lot of other people's great crafting blogs, and I thought I would create one of my own. This will be a blog to showcase the projects I make. I would appreciate any and all comments you have (but be kind)! I am still learning. Thanks for looking!
