I also made a pen to match with microbeads.

The 1st one is made using paper from DCWV Green stack. The 2nd one is paper from Stampin' Up.

Hi! I haven't had much time to create lately, but I did do a few simple projects over the last few weeks. The 1st one is a gift for my nephew. It is made from a 2 liter bottle of soda. Here are the instructions for it from the cricut board. On the inside, I put an altered pop top peach can with money in it to match.

Thanks so much Susan for sharing.

I finally finished my scrapbook room this weekend and can't wait to use it!!! I had a big office desk in there before, but it didn't offer much storage. I decided to sell it and switch over to the Jetmax cubes. It gives me so much more space and storage!!!!

Here is a picture of my little sweeties on Christmas Eve!

And one of DH and I with the boys!

Mini Candy Holders

Here are the mini candy holders I made this weekend. I saw all of the ideas on you tube and will attach the links. The are all made with Stampin' up punches and were really easy to put together. I tweaked the sizes a bit to fit the candy I was using which was a small box of junior mints for the santa and snowman and a mini twix bar for the tree.

Tear off calendars - coaster

Here are the coaster calendars I made. Used the cricut for the year - Base Camp at 1". I found the tear off calendar template over at splitcoast. Here is the link: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=302295&highlight=2009+tear+off+calendar

Post-it holders

I love how these turned out. I put a little velcro circle on the tab to hold it shut and use the cute little rhinestone brads from Stampin' Up. The paper is all from a retired DSP from Stampin' Up.
I used cardstock and DSP together. It is cut 3 1/4 x 6 3/4 and scored at 3 1/8 from each end.

Teacher gifts

Whew - Why do I wait to the last minute to do this stuff? Next year somebody needs to remind me in November to get a move on this stuff! : )
I made teacher gifts for all the daycare teachers and pre-school teachers all weekend. Some are the coaster calendars and others are post-it holders. I also made some mini candy holders that I saw on you tube. I tweaked them a bit to fit a small box of junior mints, but they were pretty quick and easy to make and oh so cute!

Here is my goal for today......make 9 of these for gifts for teachers for 2009.
This is the one from last year.

Just getting started

So, I guess I am finally giving in to becoming a blogger! I have seen so many great sites for all of the cricut website users and I decided I better give it a shot. You see, my memory is not so great anymore. I'm not sure if it is because I am getting older or because I have 2 toddlers.....or maybe a combo of both. At any rate, the very least I will get out of this is a place to keep track of the daily happenings so that next year when I go to scrap them, they will be here.
