Something Spooky

This "spooky" jar was created with black vinyl. I used the spider off the paper dolls cartridge, and "spooky" was from lyrical letters cartridge.

Recent Fun

On Saturday, we had our "Home Decor" class. I have to say it was loads of fun. We taught the many uses of vinyl, the ease of vinyl cutting and application, glass etching, and fabric cutting, etc. Here are some pictures:

This is a vinyl project we put up at the store. We added some paper flowers over the top.
I made this for my daughter's room. I cut the "S' from Plantin Schoolbook cartridge and framed it. Then I cut the rest of her name in white vinyl from Lyrical Letters cartridge. Turned out pretty cute. I am debating whether or not to add her middle name underneath. This is a card we made cutting fabric on the cricut machine. Sorry for the picture quality... This is a picture of a t-shirt I made using vinyl to stencil with fabric paint. I used Home Decor cartridge for the cupcake and Storybook cartridge for the "birthday girl". It was pretty easy and fast. I also used iron-on rhinestones to make sprinkles on the cupcake.Next class coming up is Mickey & Friends on Sept 19th. We still have spots available. Also check your calendar for October classes featuring Stretch Your Imagination, Paper Dolls, and Tinkerbell & Friends. Hope to see you soon!

I am so excited about our Preview class for "A Child's Year" cartridge on 8/22/09. Here are the layouts we will be making. We will be making a varied version of the "all boy" layout posted in my last post. We will also be making the two layouts pictured below. The pictures just do not do it justice...

Just a little info... the Make & Take class on 8/22/09 will feature the NEW "A Child's Year" cartridge. The class is going to be AWESOME! You will not bring your machine with you to this class. We will be giving you a preview of this wonderful cartridge when we make THREE, that's right, THREE double sided layouts using this cartridge.

Also, there are only a couple spots left in the "Life is a Beach" cartridge class on 8/15/09. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but Chelsea and I put some super cute projects together that you will not want to miss. If you were thinking of attending, better call to get a spot before they are gone!

Hope to see you soon! Happy Cricutting. -Jill

My first layout with A Child's Year

I couldn't wait to post a layout I finished this morning from A Child's Year cartridge. I am working on a girl layout now... If you like what you see, tell Teran to order you one! You will love this cart!

Oldies but goodies

Today I taught a Cricut 101 class and I got out all the old class projects. Here are a few... This is from Storybook font (sorry, the 2nd photo is sideways)... This one is from Wild Card cartridge. See, it is not just for cards! And this last one is a tricky one... bet you can't guess. This layout is from the Pooh & Friends cartridge. Even people who aren't into Winnie the Pooh can find things to love about this cartridge. I just got the new A Child's Year cartridge and can't wait to post what I have been working on... check back soon!
