My Sister's Birthday Card

My sister has a great yard filled with tons of flowering plants and trees.  She has a garden of fruits and veges throughout  her yard as well.  She literally removed all her grass and did plants and paths everywhere.  So for her birthday, I did a Strawberry Pop Up Card!  She's got a ton of those too!

The card is part of a set at SVGCuts.com and I made it on my Cricut using MTC software.

I post on Facebook and forget to put things here!

Birthday Boys Gifts

Three brothers, three birthdays and they all love sports, so I made three hats and filled them with gift cards, Big League Chewing gum and sour patch kids!

The logo is two of the brother's baseball team's logo.

I purchased the file from SVGCuts.com and cut it all on my Cricut.

The front little pocket is for decoration. Going to fill them with candy and gift cards! The paper is from when I started at CTMH 8 years ago!  Loved it then and works great for this project now!

Da Bling! CTMH Way!

 

At our meeting last weekend we were treated to the Close To My Heart Jewerly!

Kathy McGraw, our upline, provided us all with a chain, a charm and the parts to make our own necklace!

These just came out this month! How Awesome!

I took the hanging piece off the end of the chain and brought it forward and added a camera charm!

Spring in a Jar - My first contest!

SVGCuts.com is having a contest with their kits.  I had to use only the contents of a few kits to create something new or update something they did.  So I created a acetate jar with Spring inside.

This jar is from the Toil and Trouble Kit - it's a potion jar that I did at Halloween.  

This one is over a foot tall!

Here is some pictures of it all going together:

 It was a feat of magic to put the lid and jar together - did you know if you bend it too far it snaps in half!

 Here is my Cricut cutting lots of colors all at once - ran this machine about 4 times full of leaves.

 The Clematis leaves were used to create a base and make the ground uneven and full of greens.

 I love Clematis plants.  My current house doesn't have one. Can't get it to grow.  Now I have one all year round in my house.  I plan on making a bigger one for my bedroom wall.

 The fence is rectangles twisted into pipes and then I took twine and made it look like it's holding the plant.

 Some flowers are added and more leaves.

 Finished the plants!

Thanks for looking!  Check out SVGCuts.com for all their kits and you can follow the contest on their Facebook page: Spring Challenge.

Wish me luck!

New Product Blog Hop!

If you are coming from Elizabeth's blog, you are on the right track, if not, start here and keep jumping and you will do a complete circle.  Here is some great ideas to do with the new products from our New Catalog!

I worked with the paper called Chantilly!

I created this 3D picture frame!

 My daughter just celebrated her 7th birthday and we did it western style.  

All the girls created their own little cowgirl hat.  

My daughter is wearing her real one.  

The ones in the background on the table are the paper ones.

 Here is a mini one I cut for giggles.  The bigger ones below are big enough for their heads.

 They decorated them with large craft diamonds, unlike the Sparkles I used on the mini one.

My picture frame is complete with sides and a back.  

Got the cutting file from SVGCUTS.com - Love this place! 

Her name is stamped onto a Dimensional Element piece from Chantilly DE Pack! 

Hope you like my project.

Now got to Melinda's Blog for more great products and ideas!
