Baby Shower Gift... Finished

How to put together SpongeBob

Here is a video I did which was a challenge in Cricut Chirpin' Mamas on Cafe Mom.. a fellow CCM was having troubles cutting or putting together Spongebob, since Alex is having a Spongebob party in Dec. I thought I would get out this cart and show everyone how I put him together.  I should also mention this is my very first YouTube video!  Hope you like it..

Here is my diaper cake, I rolled the middle layer and fanned out the top and bottom layers, I need to get some cute ribbon to put on it and some thing for the top.

Cute baby shower gift, Baby Sock Cupcakes

I found a video on youtube explaining how to make these, I did my own little twist

I used 3 socks per cupcake, the video I found called for 2 per cupcake, I found a super cute cupcake box to put them in and paper liners to match.. I will update when I can take another pic... 

Party Invites... Compleated

Here it is... I didnt think my sister would want her phone number on the web lol... although it might be a funny prank... 

Party Invites... work in progress

Here is what I have so far, I am making party invites for my niece who will be turning 2, I used swiss dots cuttle bug folder  on her dress, and used a white gel pen to make the dots white and added more non-embossed dots, I used embossing powder on her nose, which made it not so flat, added a little shine.  I used a shimmer paper for her gloves and whites of her eyes, black stickles for the black of her eyes.  I used a black shimmer paper for her shadow.  a little pink ink pad for her cheeks.  I will update when I have more done... I have about 7 more to put together, I am waiting for my sister got get the invites printed up so I can start putting them together.

Using End Caps on Plantain Schoolbook + Watercolor

I made a name plate for my niece, how did I do it you ask?? It took me a few tries but here are my directions on how I did it... I first turned on my cricut, loaded my mat with paper, made sure my paper saver button was OFF and the real dial size button is also OFF, I turned ON my mix and match button.  I dont recall what size I cut at, you may have to mess around with it, depending on how long your name or word is, the cricut will go to the next line and I guess you could piece it together?! any how this is what buttons I pushed.

Top Layer: The FLOWER is on page 76, I pressed the END CAPS creative feature button, then pressed the flower button, P is on page 47, I want upper case P so I press SHIFT (leaving the End Caps creative feature key on) I press the P button, I is on page 40 I want a lowercase I so I just hit the I button, the shift has gone off because I did not use SHIFT LOCK, and repeat with the rest of the letters, to do the end flower you will use the SHIFT button again, to get the flower for the right side, so you will still have the end caps feature button on (it should be on the entire time) so to get the flower its SHIFT then the FLOWER button.  hit CUT and there you have it.
Bottom Layer: to do the bottom layer, dont change anything in the screen, just press the END CAPS SHADOW BUTTON, and the press REPEAT LAST then CUT! (obviously you can change the paper but dont turn off your cricut or the information wont be saved on your screen any more, so unload your mat, remove your title put new paper on and load your mat again)   I hope this is helpful.

Swaps I have been working on...

I have been working like a mad woman trying to get my swaps for CCM done.

This one is for a st pattys day swap, this I used my Gypsy and welded it and made the shadow as well!

This is a journal box swap, I have the Month of July, I didnt add any lines to this so they could turn it any why they want.

This is a Doggie Scrappy elements swap

This is for Just Doggie Diecuts!

This is for the Easter swap and I did a Bunny from Create a Critter, not sure why its sideways... I cant get it to go the correct way... grrr!!!
