Baby Shower Decorations

Did you miss me? It's been a month since my last post. I've been busy with the baby shower decorations and didn't want the Mommy-to-be to see them before the shower, so I couldn't put them on my blog. We had the shower this past Saturday and everything turned out perfect so I have lots of pictures to share.

Centerpieces were umbrellas in clay pots that were spray painted lavender and then covered in baby diapers. Inside the pots were lots of Cricut cuts on sticks.

Close-up of the centerpieces.

I used decorative tape to cover the pvc pipe holding the umbrellas. I also used the same tape to wrap the water bottles. Then I hung Crystal Light on the outside for anyone that wanted to flavor their water.

 

The favors were little boxes that held Hershey's Hugs and Kisses.

Another favor we made for the guests were little bottles of hand and foot scrub. I attached a tag that says, "Thank you from baby and me" and then I hung a hand and foot that I made using Shrinky Dinks. The little butterfly on the Hershey Nuggets were made using a Stampin' Up punch.

 

 

This is a picture of the favor and treat table.

I will have more pictures tomorrow with the banners, tables and a few other goodies. Stay tuned.

My Life Monday - Project Life Week 17

My week in a nutshell. First things first, I flew home from Georgia and then took a long nap. LOL.

Christopher came in the house covered in grease because he was helping a neighbor friend work on his car.  Khloë showing off her big sister shirt. Cricut plushie and a penguin from the Cheesecake Factory.

Khloë loves her penguin. She also liked the little Cricut vinyl I brought her. She introduced the two of them to each other and then they played. Khloë and I also played outside on her swing set and then we found some ladybugs.

Coco had her last puppy shots and also rode in the car for the first time without being in her crate. She did pretty well and enjoyed looking out the window.

Rounding out the week was a yummy Sunday morning breakfast of fresh fruit and French Vanilla coffee.

Cricut Cuts:
Cat silhouettes cut from Kate's ABC's at 3"
Little girl cut from Baby Steps at 3"
Fun Day Out cut from Baby Steps at 1.75"
Slide cut from Locker Talk at 3.5"
Dog cut from Nate's ABC's at 2"

Sleeping Beauty

Wow, what a crazy couple of days at my house. Way too much drama. Thank goodness I had time for a little scrapbook therapy. I was able to get another couple of layouts done using a PageMaps sketch from page 78.  Here is the sketch.

I started with my 'girl' version and pictures of my grand-daughter Khloe when she was first born. I used Quarter Note for the Sleeping Beauty title, Straight from the Nest for the flower in the upper left corner and Baby Steps for Sweet.

I still need to do the journaling on both of my layouts and add something in the white area on the left side page.

For my 'Boy' version I used the same cartridges. Quarter Note for 2 months and Baby Steps for the Little Man title. The pictures are of my younger son Christopher.

Back to work tomorrow. The weekends go by way too fast. I'm going to go back and add a couple of pictures to some of my past posts, so check those out. When I posted them before they didn't have pictures. I have now added pictures so I'll update the posts. Have a wonderful week. Cindy

Circle Shirts

This is the surprise I made for my sister. I made t-shirts for both of us to wear to the Cricut Circle Swarm. I had so much fun with these. I used the Cricut Everyday cartridge for the Circle and Baby Steps for the font.

I think they came out perfect. When I download the pictures from the swarm I'll be sure to add some of us wearing our shirts. I hope my sister is surprised and likes her shirt.

My second layout

This is my second layout for the make a wish kids. The Circle crop is less than a week away so I've been super busy this holiday weekend. I have been working on layouts, calling cards, Cricut glasses and a surprise for my sister. I can't post that until after the crop in case she checks my blog. For this layout I used the Summer Vacation cartridge again. The font is from Baby Steps.

Iron on Vinyl

Okay, so my first try at Iron on Vinyl did not go so well. The first time I cut and tried to iron on the vinyl I had it on the wrong side. I went back to my Expression and tried again. Got it to cut correctly, but then I couldn't get it to adhere to the shirt very well. I turned the iron on hotter and then it was too hot. Most of the vinyl was okay, but the "o" got too hot and lost its crisp edge. I think I'll order some other colors of vinyl and try to cover it up with a flower or butterfly. I'll have to give it some thought. Next time I'll definitely be more careful with the iron. I'm going to make myself a matching shirt that says - Khloe's Grandma.

Nap Time Layout

Happy Thursday. I'm so excited that tomorrow is Friday. I will get off work at 11:30 and have the rest of the day to craft. I cleaned my scraproom yesterday so I'm all set. Unfortunately I can't find my Nate's ABCs cartridge that I was planning on using, but that's ok (for now). I'll just have to come up with some ideas using my other cartridges. I have several that haven't been used yet so maybe this will be the perfect time to pull them out. The layout above was made using the Baby Steps cartridge. I cut the sleeping baby on the moon at 3". The title was cut at 4". The patterned paper is from Creative Memories and the cardstock is Stampin' Up.

Okay, I'm going to check out some of my cartridge books now and see if I can design something on my Gypsy. Hopefully I'll have stuff ready to cut and assemble tomorrow.
