I Found A New Blog Today

The blog is Everyday Me.  Michelle has some beautiful cards on her blog & the most adorable daughter.
What caught my eye was a video.  I was on YouTube & found her Christmas Tree.  She made it with flower punches, but we know that we could use our Cricut to make this.  I just thought it was the cutest tree & wanted to pass on the idea.
Thanks for looking.  Comments & questions always welcomed.

A Few More Ornaments

Ok, so here are a few more ornaments. A friend that I had grown up with had seen my Godchild's ornament. He wanted me to make some for his daughter. They give her six new ornaments every year & he wanted me to make four of them for her.

Angel: I made this one using CDS, George & Basic Shapes, and Paper Doll Dress Up. Click HERE for Angel .cut file. When you cut it, you will not use the head on the 2nd body. This angel is very simple, but I really don't design much with CDS. I mostly use it to size things correctly & weld letters to make words, so this was an accomplishment. I think she came out cute. I also used Peachy Keen Face Stamps (Blushing Brides). I also used the Cuttlebug for her dress, wings, & hair.
Gingerbread Man: He came from the Stretch Your Imagination cart. I used Markers to color in the colored parts of the "icing", then I used Liquid Embossing to give it a little dimension.
Christmas Stocking: I can't remember which cart this one came from. I used the MS Branch punch for the branches at the top.
Rocking Horse Wreath: I think this one is my favorite. (I have to check on this one too about the cart.) I appologize - I have been working on so much lately that I don't remember all of supplies used. I used the MS Branch punch to make the wreath. I rubbed a dark green ink pad across the horse & the wreath. I like the way it turned out. It kind of made it look antique-ish.

Karissa's 1st Christmas Ornament

I can finally post some of the projects I have been working on. I gave this ornament to my brother for my Godchild's 1st Christmas. I wanted them to be able to have it on the tree this year.

Front:

Back:

I made her shower invites & favors using the baby bootie from the New Arrivals cart. So, I thought it would be fitting to use it for her 1st Christmas ornament as well. I heat embosses the word Christmas with Red Tinsle Embossing Powder. I used CDS to make sure that all of the cuts would fit on the ornament form. The form is just a paper mache form that I painted pink. I cannot remember off hand which carts I used for all of the words, I will post back later with the info.

Thanks for looking. Questions & comments always welcomed.
