Love Bunny Shirt
I made this shirt for Kaylee. I took the picture while it was still drying, so you can see the cardboard through it on the pic. I used vinyl and fabric paint for this. The bunny on the corner is from the Create a Critter cartridge and I freehanded the face. For the words, I used the Batman cart for the font and Create a Critter for the heart.

Workout Shirt
I have been wanting some new workout shirts and decided I would make some. So this is the first one I made. I used the Batman Cricut Cartridge for the font to make a stencil and used black fabric paint to put the saying on.

Decorate to Celebrate Easter Challenge: Bunny Suckers with Centerpiece
It is time for a new challenge over at Decorate to Celebrate. The new challenge is to create a project for an Easter Party. Be sure to head over to http://www.decoratetocelebrate.blogspot.com/ to check out all of the projects by the design team and enter your own project into the challenge.
I made a centerpiece with bunny rabbit suckers for Kaylee to take to school for the class Easter party. I really love how this turned out. I had the idea for a while and wasn't sure if it was going to come together as I imagined it, but I was so glad it did!
To make this, I started out with a styrofoam circle that was 12inches wide x 1inch high. I covered it with green spraypaint to be the base.
I made 25 of the bunnies in all and then added them to the centerpiece by pushing the sticks into the styrofoam base.
To finish it off, I used a sample piece of vinyl siding from Lowes and a white dowel stick to make the sign. The Happy Easter was cut using the font on the Batman Cartridge and pink vinyl. I then went over it with a thin coat of Mod Podge to make sure the vinyl did not peel up. Then, I had some small, flat backed carrots from Hobby Lobby that I glued to the about 6 of the bunnies hands.

To make this, I started out with a styrofoam circle that was 12inches wide x 1inch high. I covered it with green spraypaint to be the base.
Once that was dry, I used the Zooballoo Cartridge and some glossy green paper to cut out a grass border to go around the base. I cut four of these at a size of 11.03inches wide x 5inches high and hot glued them around the edge.
To make the bunnies, I used the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge and cut a front and back for them at a size of 2.88inches wide x 3.82inches high. I added a small puff ball to the back for the tail. For the front of them, I added google eyes and a small puff ball, drew in the mouth and used a pink color pencil to add the remaining details. Once they were finished, I used a small dab of hot glue to attach the front and back to Tootsie Roll Pops.I made 25 of the bunnies in all and then added them to the centerpiece by pushing the sticks into the styrofoam base.

Pinch On Card
Today I made a quick card for St. Patrick's Day. I used the Wild Card cartridge for the base and George and Basic Shapes to cut the green rectangle. Then, I used Paper Doll Dress Up for the shamrock and Batman for the font. These were cut from white vinyl. I am giving this card to my hubby.

Decorate to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day: Design Team Project
It is time for a new challenge over at Decorate to Celebrate. This time we are challenging you to share all of your party supplies and decorations for a St. Patrick's Day party. Be sure to check out all of the projects by the design team and link up your own projects to share here: www.decoratetocelebrate.blogspot.com.
For my project, I made Kaylee a shirt to wear for St. Patrick's Day! She wanted a shirt that said pinch proof. I used the Batman Cricut Cartridge for the font and the Paper Dolls Dress Up Cartridge for the shamrock. I used vinyl to make a stencil for the shirt and filled it in with black fabric paint. It looks so cute, I think I may have to make a few more before the 17th!

St. Patrick's Day Purse
I finally had a chance to work on some crafting, and I made this little bag for Kaylee to use on St. Patrick's Day.
I started out with the felt bag that I found at Hobby Lobby in their Summer Crafts area.
I then used the Paper Dolls Dress Up Cartridge to cut a shamrock stencil and filled it in with black paint on the bag. After that was dry, I took a white paint pen and added a mouth to the shamrock and then used hot glue to add a bow and some google eyes to finish it off.
I think it turned out so cute and was super simple to make.
