Gift Boxes for Glasses

On Wednesday, I came home to see my new machine had been delivered.  Unfortunately, I didn't have time until Sunday to play with it.

I needed to some how create some gift boxes for the etch glass gift that I created.   Since I now have a cricut that can cut up to 12x24, I began to play around on MTC.


Here are the two boxes I created:

Starting to look at Wedding Attire....

It is a beautiful day outside and I am stuck at work in a building.  At least I have a nice big window to enjoy the sun while I work away on a computer.  One good thing that happened as I checked my email and got one from Gilt.com.  I opened it to find that they are having a wedding themed sale on Friday, March 12, at noon ET.      For those that don't know, gilt.com is a sample sale website which has many different designers.   If you would like to join, click here for the invitation. 

The email got me thinking about my wedding party's attire.  Since my bridal party is going to be composed of girls with many different body types, I am probably going to let them choose their own but within a certain color spectrum.   I will look at the gilt.com sale and see what they have because I might see something I like or something I could suggest to my bridal party. 

But since I am about 15 months out from the wedding  I am in no rush to start nailing down the attire. However, I do need to start sketching out some of the DIY projects  that I have in my head.  I am going to start posting some of the DIY wedding projects that I have found and might like to try and include in my wedding.  

That is all for now. I hope everyone is having a great sunny day!!

Oscar Night: Bird on the Linen Door

So while the Oscars where starting, I decided to do a mini project.  In between Eric's comments about Zac Efron's height, I found a bird and branch picture.  I used MTC to create the cut file.

Then I put my vinyl and mat into the cricut. And waited for it to finish.....

 

I then weeded out the vinyl I didn't want to use.  Then Dodger played with the extra vinyl.

Wishing I was a cat

Eric and I really enjoy watching movies of all sorts but with our schedules lately we never go a chance to see Avatar until now. Since I finally had a day off from work and school, we went to finally see Avatar.  We saw it IMAX 3D and enjoyed the movie. It will be a definite DVD purchase.  Currently we own over 400 DVDs.  We really enjoy watching movies rather than prime tv. 

The picture above is what we can home to after the movie and IKEA. Clint Eastwood , the cat, sleeping on the chair by the entrance window. It makes me really want to be a cat and sleep all day, have someone feed me and clean up after me. 

Well, since I am not a cat I am spending the rest of the day to clean up after my 3 "hard" working cats. 
I am also reorganizing my craft area and adding another IKEA table.  Hopefully this will help me be productive with my crafting adventures.  Currently I am trying to create some MTC files from some logos to make some more gifts. I am using Adobe programs and will post about it once I have completed the process.

For now, my helper (Dodger) and I will be cleaning !!!

Happy March!!

I don't have any crafts to post but wanted to let you know that it is National Craft Month. 

But...... I did buy myself an early birthday present.

The larger cricut!!! I am excited to try making some boxes and larger vinyl items.  I hope to receive it within the next week. Then I hope to complete some of my projects while I am on break from swim coaching. Until then happy crafting!
