LOVE BIRDS

In light of the SVG Cuts Valentine's Day Challenge, I created this "birdcage".  I had a blast creating this paper piecing.  I used the following svg files from http://www.svgcuts.com/ to make this birdcage: Spring Bird Houses.svg, 24 Easy Valentines.svg, and Happy Birthday to You.svg.  I created the actual birdcage shape and hanger using the basic shapes offered in eCal/scal.

Bugs and Kisses Treat Bag!

Since the arrival of my new Sizzix Eclips, my poor Cricut Expression has felt left out and un-loved.  So, today I decided to get out my Cricut and use a cartridge to make something.  I picked the Doodle Charms cartridge and I made this adorable little treat bag.

To created this treat bag,  I cut out the jar shape from the Doodle Charms Cartridge twice.  I then hand cut the inside of the jar out.  I then took a large clear treat bag and filled it up with goodies.  I created the "dirt" with crushed oreo cookies.  I took out the cream of course and just used the cookies.  Hello, who doesn't love to eat the cream in those fabulous cookies?  Then I added the gummy worms.  I sealed the bag closed by gluing it within the cut out jar.  I then added the tag and some hand made ladybugs. 

Alien Invasion!!!!

I originally created this album for ebay sale.  I sold the album, but I always save images of my creations.  A couple days ago a friend of mine was visiting and was viewing the images of my previous designs.  She fell head over heels for this one.  So, I have re-created the album for her.  Her son is into Aliens and Space. He has an upcoming birthday party planned with this theme, so I am certain this album will be full of photos soon.

I created this album using chipboard sheets.  I hand drew the album shape and all the little aliens inside as well.  Enjoy!

Steaming HOT Love

I love finding non-typicial craft items and creating something unique.  I used a vegetable steamer for this creation.  I have not added my photos yet, but I plan to put photos of my husband and I on the backs of each of these discs.
