Turkey Table Decoration

Turkey Table Decoration

I found this idea on Cricut Chirp Newsletter today and I thought it was just too cute. I revised it a little bit. But it is such a great and adorable idea.

Here is how I made my version

Create A Critter Cartridge
Turkey cut at 6 1/2" the second turkey is revised cut
Leaves cut at 3" each

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cartridge
Popcorn Container cut at 6 1/2" ( I used the Gyspy to cut the container)

You can use these for little flower arrangements, candy or whatever you can think of. I am thinking of making another one and using one for flowers and one for candy...

if you have anymore questions please feel free to ask.

I also cut out larger Turkeys and put them up on my door and cabinets... these are so cute.

Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you all again...

Happy Crafting Everyone!!!!



DT Would You Guess Wednesday

Good Morning Everyone! 

 http://www.mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/

Stop on by and check out all the great projects today.

I made this adorable " It's A Boy" layout.

I used my gypsy and designed the page layout.

Afterwards I actually changed the placement of the stork and the Words.
I love using my gypsy to design my layouts for Scrapbook pages and cards and etc... it is so much fun...

I used the following cartridges:
Suger n' Spice
Cake Basics
Gyspy Wanderings

Stork ( Sugar n' Spice) - cut @ 4 1/2"
Photo mats ( Sugar n' Spice)  - cut @ 5 1/2" (yellow) and 5" ( beige)
It's A Boy ( Cake Basics) - cut @ 3 1/2"
Background Shape (Gyspy Wanderings)  - cut at 10"

This is the first page in scrapbook that I am making for a friend that is having a little boy in January. I am making a scrapbook with layouts for all the milestones for her and all she will have to do is add the pictures and maybe some journaling if she would like.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my projects...
Now it is time to head over to Erica's to check out all the other wonderful projects for today...

Have a wonderful day and happy crafting.... stop back and check out the new projects...



Getting Ready Thanksgiving

Starting to get things ready for Thanksgiving around the house today and this past weekend...

I have been having the girls help make little decorations for Thanksgiving...

Thanksgiving around here is a little stressful than normal. We have so much that goes on Thanksgiving Day, so I try to do little things leading up to Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving our High School Sponors a Turkey dip, and usually the High School has a football game too and then I am on Ambulance Duty that night. I usually make a few extra desserts and take them to the Ambulance for my crew. 

 This year we are making decorations to hang up and have on the table.

Well so far this is what we have done.

I used Simply Charmed Cartridge to make these adorable turkeys... I think they are so cute...

The ones hanging of the leave garland is cut at 5 1/2" and the ones on the cabinets are cut at 4 1/2" ...

I hope you all enjoyed my little project that I did with my daughter's tonight we are going to make some more....

Well check back tomorrow and see what my project is. Tomorrow is " Would You Guess Wednesday" over at http://www.mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/

So stop on by and check out all the great projects that are created just using the Feature Keys ...

Christmas Gift Tags

I am working on a few things for the holidays.

I was thinking sometimes we just have gifts that just need a cute little tag instead of all the wrapping paper... so I thought this would be great for those gifts..

Here are a few that I came up with

I embossed the snowflake with white embossing and I love how it turned out. I used a few different cartridges for these tags...

Cartridges Used:

Snowflake and Winter Hat : Winter Woodland

Base of the of the Tag : Cindy Loo

Second layer and third layer : George and Basic Shapes

I used my gypsy to make them all.

Here is a cute little card that I made using Jolly Holidays Cartridge.

I made this a little like the easel card that I make.

Card base is basic 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 and then the top is folded in half again...

I think this is the cutest card.

I hope you enjoyed my projects for today. Check back often for new projects and some instructions.

I am hoping I will be able to make my first video soon.... Things are settling down around here now and I would like to have a video done shortly... I am working on what I would like to make the first video on.. I am thinking maybe this adorable easel card ...

Happy Crafting Everyone! Have a Wonderful Day!

Happy November

Happy November Everyone!!! It has been a little nuts around here. We got hit with a snow storm on Saturday night and it was so crazy cause it was only October, who ever thought we would have snow before Halloween... haha!!!!

Last night it just felt so weird and odd that we were taking the kids out to trick or treat and there was snow on the ground. But we still had a fun time.

here are my nieces and my daughters.

Now Halloween is over it is time for me to get started on my two favorite holidays

I love crafting for the holidays. And the girls are excited cause they are going to be making new ornaments this year for our tree and around the house.

Happy Crafting Everyone!!!!
