Vinyl signs for the kids doors

Tonight I created two signs for the kids doors, no stamping involved! I have been wanting to create something for the house using my Cricut and some vinyl for a while now. I bought some pink vinyl a few months ago then I bought some brown and finally some transfer tape to help me transfer the vinyl from the mat to the wall. For some reason I think I was intimidated by the whole process. Finally tonight I decided to do it! I pulled out my gypsy and designed a Princess crown for my daughter, Ava, from Once Upon a Princess, it came out sooo cute and I know she is going to love it in the morning when she sees it!Not to leave my son, Carter, out I quickly designed this one using brown vinyl and the train from New Arrival. The C is from Mini Monograms.
I am in love with these. Now, where else can I put vinyl....?

Getting into the Halloween Spirit

The Halloween bug has hit me big time this year! With all the talk out there in the blogging world about Halloween paper, stamps, etc. it's hard not to. While I was driving today (yes I think about crafting while driving) I remembered there was a really cute pumpkin card on the Cricut Wild Card cartridge so I whipped it out as soon as I could and created this on my gypsy. I love how it came out. Happy (early) Halloween!

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Stampin UP! Jumble Alphabet and Teeny Tiny Wishes. Peachy Keen Pumpkin Face Parts

Ink: Stampin UP! Basic Black

Paper: Stampin UP! Pumpkin Pie, Yoyo Yellow (retired), and Green Galore (retired)

the ribbon I picked up in a dollar bin last year

September Calendar Page

Since it's back to school time in September for us this year I thought it would be fun to do a back to school theme for my calendar page. I make one of these each month and hang it on the fridge. It's a great way for me to remember what happened that month while I'm scrapbooking it. My daughter and I spent an hour or so this morning putting this page together and I thought it came out so adorable (isn't that worm cute!?) that I had to share. This is yet another reason why I love my gypsy as I designed it all last night and cut it out this morning.

I love this little worm!

Supplies used:

My first attempt at a 2010 Christmas Card

Stampin UP! has a new holiday mini catalog coming out with some beautiful new stamps sets just in time for the holiday season! There are cute Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas sets along with some new designer fabric that I can't wait to get my hands on! Anyway, we have a card swap coming up on Monday night and I thought I would try out a few variations of cards using a new Sizzix Big Shot embossing folder exclusive to Stampin UP! called Norther Flurry. It embosses the paper so nicely and works well as a background or even the focus of the card as I chose to do here.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Stampin UP! Christmas Greetings

Paper: Stampin UP! Basic Black, Whisper White, and Real Red

Ink: Stampin UP! Real Red
