Retirement gift and card







I made these for my fiance to bring to work to give to his buddy who is retiring after tonight. my fiance works in a hospital overnight and this guy was one of the few other men that work there now it's just Jay and 1 other guy and all the female nurses. He is pretty bummed that his coffee buddy is leaving! lol I designed all and cut using my gypsy! Used Plantin for wording on sucker boquet and squares for card, wild card font for wording on card, indie art for guitar, tags bags boxes and more nut cup cut for pot. suckers are stuck into styrofoam ball and wide silver shiny ribbon wrapped around the ball. I used thinner silver ribbon for bow. I did cut the bottom of the ball so it would be level and not tippy!! I love how it turned out and am sort of sad to see it go! lol

I have been busy, though! I guess with being a mommy and going to school and Jason having 3 jobs it is hard enough to find time to craft let alone blog about it! :) Here's a few pics of what I have done lately. My husband got a new toy and I wanted to make him a custom case/stand and to protect the investment. I found a tutorial for an iPod/iPad case and used the instructions provided to adapt it for other devices. I decided to use the measurements of the device in the rubber case so he didn't have to put it on and take it off all the time. The tutorial was from Made By Marzipan and it is so cool! I used a John Deere fabric that I had originally bought to make him a scrub top but, I thought this was a worthy alternative! :) If you like it make sure you check out the Made By Marzipan site for this and all of the other awesome tutorials she has there! I also used my cricut to cut some paper stencils to use as masks while doing slip work in my pottery class and

I have been on a christmas craft mission! lol I made all of the gifts for my parents, siblings, and neices, and nephews! I have been having so much fun playing with some new toys I got for Chrismas! My favorite is SCAL 2 for my Mac and second is my new Bind It All! How fun it is to make professional looking word books using both! Now that the gifts are made I can start making some fun things for our family and for my daughter's room! I can't wait! Well, here are pics of everything I have worked on up until now! I did make some homemade chocolate covered pretzels and bag toppers for the treat bags but, am waiting to assemble them!! Now all I need is for the weather to cooperate so we can actually make the 3 hour trip to our family's christmas! It is looking less and less likely that that will happen as the forcast is calling for 14 inches of snow or more!
