Party Treat Boxes; HP Themed

Well, you guessed it, you can't have a party without party favors! Since my granddaughter wanted a Harry Potter themed party, grandma honored her wishes.

Check HERE for the cake topper and take a look at these cute treat boxes!

The YouTube video shows how easy they are to design in Cricut Design Space. Use this idea to customize all your treat boxes in whatever theme you want!

Harry Potter Themed Cake Topper

Take a look at this cute cake topper I made for my granddaughter's 5th birthday. She wanted a Harry Potter themed party so this was perfect for it.

I honestly can't remember where I downloaded this SVG file, but I think it was from Auntie Taye's website. I was a member awhile back and I believe this is where I got it.

It was pretty easy to put together but of course I made a few tweeks. Check out the YouTube process video to see all the details!

TGIF; Thankful Friday #343

TGIF! Another Friday and another week to be thankful. This week went fast since Monday was a work holiday and I'm thankful for the fast week. Did I tell you I'm retiring? As each week goes by, it's one step closer to my last day of work. 

But that's not all I'm thankful for this week.

Today is my second granddaughter's birthday and I'm thankful that we are close enough to be able to celebrate with her and then again on Saturday for her small party at Dave & Buster's.

Happy Birthday Daisy!

Multi Photo With Minimal Embellishments

I loosely followed a sketch by A Cherry On Top but added lots of photos. I wanted some embellishments but there wasn't much room for too many.

I was able to get some journaling, a title which expands both pages and a few on there.

There are 18 photos on this two page spread!

To get the small photos, I use the collage prints in a 4x6 format and the more photos you add, the smaller the photos. This is great for those pictures that don't necessarily need to be full photos.

The horizontal strips are 6" and the vertical strip is 2.5" and 10.5" tall.  The circles are 3".

All the embellishments were cut with the Cricut. Check the YouTube process video to see how it was completed.

Baby Bottle Gift Card Holders; PCC DT Project

Hey there, I'm sharing a cute gift card holder that I made using the Baby Bottle Gift Card Holder SVG from Printable Cuttable Creatables.

We have three young ladies that are expecting babies in late January/early February at work. I'm so excited to give them these gift card holders because they are super adorable!

This file gives us two options for the score lines - solid or dashed. I chose solid because I've used it before and it worked for me. Once that was done and attached to the gift card holder pocket, I cut two in pink and one in blue.

Since I recently purchased the Precision Glue Holder, it was used to adhere all the pieces for this project. I'm telling you...I fully endorse getting one of these. The fine tip is great and it is less pressure for your hand.

I used an acrylic block to hold down each pocket to make sure the adhesion was strong while I worked on the bottles and gift card bases.

Since I don't have Cricut pens, I changed the circles & greetings into a Print then Cut file before adding them to the front of the gift card holders. So cute! I am in love with how these turned out and cannot wait to give them to the new mommies!

Be sure to check out the Printable Cuttable Creatables website for this and other cute gift card holders. They are so easy to make and a super cute way to give gift cards to your friends and loved ones.

Cute Cards Using Scraps On My Desk

I have been looking at stamps from AALL and Create for some time and finally purchased this cutie. I stamped and colored them with alcohol markers adding some white pen highlights here and there.

Then I looked through the scraps on my desktop and selected items that I thought would work for a fun card.

I have a YouTube video up showing the process to make these:

Thanks for watching!

TomKat Strut Challenges; Part Two

Hey there, I'm sure you had a chance to see the post & YouTube process video for the left side a.k.a. Part One of this two page spread. If not, check out the post HERE.

I used the same sketch to change this one page sketch to a two page spread. I love using sketches for a jumping point when creating layouts. It gives me a place to start instead of working with a blank page. Even when the sketch is not used exactly, you can see how it inspired the patterned papers placement. And of course, I added many more photos!

I basically did a mirror image of the left page for this one and I love how it flows!
