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 .

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.

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) The snowflake was from the cricut cartridge Joys of the Season.

Cupcake Phase continues

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

And here are some more creations (non-cricut)

Holiday Ornament Iris folding

Here is an iris folding ornament I made. This one is special to me. I lost my best friend Donna to cancer last December 9th. Christmas was her favorite holiday and she asked us to remember to have Christmas every year. I bought her family a small Christmas tree that they could plant in the backyard with an angel ornament after the funeral. I promised that I would send an ornament to her family every Christmas in remembrance of her and our friendship. I miss her dearly everyday. I will be making her a glass ornament too and I will post that at a later time. I made the cards with winter wonderland cricut cartridge and embossed the white card with the Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and added a blue gem to the middle of the snowflake. I used gold stickles to put dots around the red ornament and used Martha Stewarts gold glitter marker for the top of the ornament.

Christmas Card Challenge Entry

Hello all, It's now time to get those Christmas cards going on their way. I entered a card challenge at http://cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/ to make a Christmas card with only pink & green colors using the cricut cartridges. I made this card with the winter wonderland cartridge. I did iris folding for the "o" and "y" in the word Joy. I used green and pick origami paper. I used green stickles to give it some bling along with a polka dot ribbon and pop up dots.
