FCCB Blog Hop

*******Hi If your looking for the LOTS OF LOVE BLOG HOP CLICK HERE. **********



If you hopped from Leinad's blog you are in the right place !!!!

I decided to make shirts for my girls. My daughter has been begging me for a shirt with a bug head on it so I finally made her one with my YUDU.

Below is a video on how I made this shirt using vinyl instead of the emulsion process. I also explain how you can use vinyl as a stencil for shirts if you dont have a YUDU.

Thanks sooo much for stopping by! Next on the Fantabulous Cricut Blog Hop is Robin's Super cute blog !!!! Enjoy~

Sneak Peaks of tonights release !!

Hi Everyone! This is my first week designing for Pink By Design!!! I have a few sneak peaks of tonights new stamp release. Both of these sentiments are on the same set...and I must say I LOVE it !!!

This one is made with Twinkle Toes, and Stamping Cricut cartridges, Divine Swirls Cuttlebug and of course a PBD Sentiment, along with Stickles, twine, and PK face stamps !!
It says "Friends make life Bear-able"

This cute little tag is from ZooBalloo, Create a Critter and Mini Monograms along with a PBD stamp, Bakers twine, Peachy Keen stamp and a wobble !!

Challenges and gifts !

I wanted to give a little treat to Candace (Paper crafts by Candace) and to Kim (Ricketts Cricuts) because we all got to meet yesturday for the first time !!! Heres a pic of us at dinner

So I made treat bags and incorporated 3 challenges into it.

Peachy Keen stamps- Needed to have a XOXO on the project. I used Peachy Keen Valentine stamps (the hearts and the sentiment) also the Princess set face stamp.

The other challenge was for the Circle blog, I needed at least 4 cuts. For this cute bag I used Sweethearts, Martha Stewart Elegant Cake, Wrap it Up, and Paisley cartridges.
The last challenge is to make a project with a bug at the creativecutter

I also used glossy accents, Bakers twine from the Twinery, a button and Stickles !
Enjoy~

Spirit day at school !!

Every Friday is spirit day at my daughters school. Their colors are green and gold so I made shirts with my Yudu in green (because the ones the PTA sells are green)......well I was told little girls DON'T do green they do pink! LOL

So new ones were made in pink with green and gold accents...perfect for a little girl. One of my friends came over and made one for her daughter then also made some cute corker bows in pink, green and gold ...because a girl has to have matching accessories.

They were so excited to be twins today and rock it Kindergarten style!
If your interested in any kinds of bows Katie does a BEAUTIFUL job they are huge, my girls LOVE them, she sells them via facebook and hopefully a site soon..click HERE to see them.


I used vinyl on my Yudu instead of the emulsion process which is easier and cheaper! So I used cartridges Create a Critter, Lyrical Letters and Mickey and Friends.

Action Wobbles in action on my PK challenge card!

I made a Easter card for the Peachy Keen challenge, and of course had to try out these wobbles !!! I'm officially in LOVE..lol
The PK challenge was a sketch and monochromatic challenge. I used Peachy Keen Critter faces and the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge!
Enjoy~
