ABC BLOCKS using vinyl

I wanted to make some alphabet blocks for Christmas and told my neice about it...and she got the ball rolling. She went and bought 2 - 2 x 2 pieces of wood and cut and sanded about 150 blocks. She then came over and we painted them and then my daughters and I put Vinyl lettering on them. To seal them I used Mod Podge. They were so fun and they turned out great and my little girls LOVE them. The letters have capital letters on one side and lower case on the other. The numbers have different shapes. What's even more fun is the box I got to put them in. I will post a picture when I get on taken.

Christmas Decorations using vinyl

Above my entertainment center I have 4 gifts that are wrapped. I had one without a bow and so I decided to add a saying. The other 3 gifts represent the 3 wise men and the gifts they gave. The other one represents what gift we will give to our Savior. I used the stone script cricut cartridge.

The Merry Christmas block were a gift from my friend Robyn. She is amazing. She cut out the blocks, painted them and added the vinyl. I love them. THANKS AGAIN ROBYN>>>LOVE THEM.

Christmas Vinyl sayings and Cutouts using SCAL

SURE CUTS A LOT...MUST HAVE FOR CRICUT OWNERS!

My sister got me the absolute best gift for Christmas...and gave it to me early. It is called Sure cuts a lot and it is FANTASTIC! The best place to purchase it, according to my sister and I, is
here.
She has the best website for tutorials and free fonts and dingbats. I have personally emailed her about questions and have received a response within 15 minutes to a couple hours. What is great is that you never have to buy a cartridge again. I increased my cartridge size by 100+ It works with your existing fonts on your computer. It is also so user friendly. LOVE IT!!! I will show use some things that I have done with it. It allows you to take a jpeg file and convert it and cut it out! TOO FUN!!! I had so much fun over the holidays!

Fun missionary gift

I took an old peanut butter plastic jar that I saved and cut out a missionary from my cricut in vinyl and we wrote a poem to go with how we were"beary" excited for him serving a mission. And then we filled it with cinnamon bears and used black tulle for the bow.

Teacher appreciation gifts using homemade JAM

Here are some simple "Thank you" gifts for teachers. I made strawberry jam and then I just used flowers, buttons and ribbon to decorate the lid of the jam. I cut out a flower tag on my cricut...I believe it was the Georges Cartridge. Then I wrote, "Thank you for being so Berry Sweet to me." And then had my daughter sign her name on the other side. The teachers LOVED it. My daughter had 4 pre-school teachers...so, I just did it for all of them. I say it was easy because the freezer jam was already made. I always make some smaller jars of jam .. to give away.

And then inked the edges and added ribbon. They were really FUN!!!
