Baby Shower

My cousin & his wife are pregnant!  Yay!  I went to school with both of them and Tracey and I took many classes together and worked together for quite some time!  I was super excited when I heard they were pregnant!  These are pix from her shower yesterday.

Pom poms hanging from the ceiling. Inexpensive and fun! These are always a hit!

The sign across the mantle "It's a Boy"  They had an animal theme so we threw as many animals as we could in there! This sign was made using Create a Criter for then animals, Accent Essentials for the circles and sun bursts for the signs and Disney's Mickey's font for the letters!

A zebra and kitty welcomed people in!

These beautiful flowers were a wonderful touch! 

so pretty!

A few critters on the wall.

Cake pop favors

Wedding favor!

My friend just got married yesterday!  Congrats Kathy!!!  She and I have known each other since elementary school but became good friends in high school and have been friends ever since.  I was over joyed when I heard that she got engaged to a wonderful man named Stan. 

When they set their wedding date I was excited!  I wanted to help!  Graciously, Kathy allowed us to help her with her wedding invites and party favors!  This is my party favor indicating the table I sat at.  We used the Cricut to cut the tag and corner rounders on the white pieces to match the tag. The flower opening is from the Hello Kitty cartridge.

For not being a paper crafter, Kathy did an awesome job of designing the pattern on the white paper and thinking of these wonderful ideas!  Look out, I might be calling her in the future for digital artwork!  

Baby Finley!

My cousin in law Tracey is pregnant with her first baby!  I am so excited for Mark & Tracey! We found out a few months ago and ever since Jenn & I have been excited to throw this baby shower for Finley! 

Even though the shower is not until the end of the year, I couldn't resist making a sign!!!

F is for fish!

I is for Iguana!

N is for narwhal.  

This letter is tough unless you go with Nanny Goat or something. Amazingly Cricut thinks of everything and sure enough there was an animal on Zoobaloo for N! :) This letter is pushing me to write the name of the animal on the sign somewhere just so they know what it is!

L is for Lion! grrrr

E is for Elephant! (Go Titans!!!)

Y is for Yak!

These were made using Accent Essentials for the sun burst, Disney Font for the letters, Zoobaloo and Create a Critter for the animals.

So go out there and Create like Crazy!!!

SVG files!

It's day 2 of the trial version of Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL).  I'm loving it! Today I downloaded a free zip file. It contained a few Japanese blossom images, branches, flowers, etc.  I downloaded the images to my SVG folder on my desktop and was off to create like crazy!  

Once the images are downloaded, I opened SCAL and clicked on the SVG button.  I routed my way to my folder and there they were!  I clicked on the image I wanted on my mat and opened it.  You can resize, flip, move, and layer the images on your mat. I was just doing basics so I placed a few images on my mat. I hooked up my Cricut and pushed the cut button. The images cut just like they showed on my computer!

I can't wait to buy the actual program so these lines aren't cutting through my flower!  hehe :)
