My Handwriting Font

I haven't been blogging long so I really didn't know another way of using my font other then cut and paste as a jpg.  I thought it was hard to see the link for Dana, so here it is again easier to just click & go

Have a great day!

Shark (ing) cupcake wrappers

Hello All,

I've made some more cupcake wrappers.  My granddaughter and her dad are going to be in a Shark cage.   This is going to be her Birthday Present. He asked me if I could make cupcakes and wrappers in the shape of Sharks. This is what I came up with.  I will post pictures of the completed cupcakes after the event.

I'm Back, Still in CupCake Phase

Hello All, I'm glad to be back. I have been busy making cupcakes and have a few to show you. Also, I have been playing with Make The Cut. I love this program. It is easy to use and has inspired me to be more creative. I'm now creating cupcake wrappers for myself. First here are a few pictures of cupcakes I've made for my friends daughter for her confirmation

.

then onto Valentine Day Cupcakes for my bunco group.

then came St. Patrick's Day

And before I started the Easter wrappers I made Spring/Easter nest cupcakes.

And most recently working on Easter CupCake Wrappers.

Here are the wrappers I created using MTC and Cricut Expression.

Merry Christmas Everyone

Just a few more cupcakes for the end of the year. And a box I made using my scorepal for the first time.

Make the Cut for your cricut machine with any size mat

I received an email from ScrappyDew regarding a new software program to use with my cricut expression. It works with any size mat or cricut machine. It is called Make the Cut. Here is the link for more information. http://www.scrappydew.com/make-the-cut/. He already has 3 tutorials to get you started. http://www.scrappydew.com/tutorials/. You can download a trial version for free. or purchase it. He is having a Christmas special if you order thru Scrappydew, you will get a Free starter pack of SVG's AND a second pack of SVG's of your choice. I've already purchased it looks like alot of fun and I find it user friendly so far. I'll post some pictures of projects I make with it after the holiday.

Ornament for Donna's ChristmasTree

Here is an ornament I made for Donna's Tree this year. (see Nov. 30th post) I used a plain glass ornament I got at Michaels. I used Pledge floor shine to coat the inside of the ornament, then poured out the excess. I then filled with a good amount of red glitter and shook it until it completely coated the inside of the ornament. I poured out the excess glitter. I tied a ribbon around the neck of the ornament and then placed the cap on it. I used SCAL2 and the font called "formal" for the name Donna and 2008. I then cut it out of white vinyl (provocraft vinyl) with my cricut expression. The blade was at 6 and the pressure at 2 and the speed at medium. The snowflake was from the cricut cartridge Joys of the Season.

Cupcake Phase continues

I cut the cupcake wrappers with my cricut expression. I purchased the pattern from Visual Designs by Chris. http://www.visualdesignsbychris.com/store/search.php?mode=search&page=1

And here are some more creations (non-cricut)
