garlands

Since we're living in a rental house right now (and only for a couple of months) I can't bring myself to putting holes in the wall that I'll have to fill and paint over when we move out. It's just not worth it! But I've been a little discontent with the bare walls. So, cricut to the rescue!
I made this cute garland for my craft space:



And this one for my patio:




(Don't laugh - I kill plants and need all the positive input that I can get to help them out!)

Lovebugs!

We made some adorable little Valentine's cards for the children to pass out to their friends on Valentine's Day.

Using the Cricut machine, we cut square cards at 2 1/2 inches from the Platin Schoolbook cartridge from assorted colors of cardstock.

Then we cut ladybug backs from the Paisley Cartridge at 2" on black cardstock using the Button Feature from the "Boots" and the circle with Heart cutout from the Shift-Button Feature on "Boots" on red cardstock.Hmmm, looks like my mats need cleaning!



The children LOVED putting the LOVEbugs together and made ooodles of them for their friends.
They gave quite a few out to grandparents and cousins two days before Valentine's Day, so we had to make some more and have another lovebug session today!
