Chloe's Crafty Mommy - A Place to Share what I do!

Made with my new Spongebob cartridge and I think(?) the background shape is from Storybook?? Made using Create a Critter (love, love, LOVE this cartridge!!) used Mickey Font for the word and welded on my Gypsy!! Used Tie the Knot cartridge for both the bride and Groom boxes, I just LOVE how they turned out!! : ) Used a SVG and my SCAL for the gable box, unfortunately when I saved the file I didn't make a note as to who I got it from!! Boo! When I first started "collecting" SVG's I didn't realize the importance of making note of that details! The programs were made using a file I found on the internet...I was in such a crazed rush I didn't note where I got it from which isn't like me, I know better than that these days!! Wish I could give credit where credit is due! I liked the wording so much I used it verbatim! If you recognize it, let me know and I will happily give credit where credit is due!! I can hardly believe that I have to go back to school on Wed...

I got married on July 10th and have done nothing but craft for the showers, ceremony, and reception since March!! I did my own invites (which was the last time I posted - way back in April....eek!!), programs, favor boxes, floral swags for head table, and flowers for guest tables, card sets in boxes for prizes at the showers and for the hosts at each, and Thank you cards are getting finished up now and will be out by next week! Whew...now it's time to play catch up! First, I could KICK myself for not getting in on the Circle Charter membership and going to CHA in Chicago when I had the chance!!! A gift of an Imagine?? Oh, man...did I miss out!! lol Oh, well, I just couldn't fork over that money with my wedding looming!! lol I will save money in the long run since I won't pay for travel and hotel to get there!! lol Second, I joined weight watchers last April after we got our engagement pics from the photographer both my fiance and I were horrified! Its amazing how a picture ...

My fiance and I are financing our own wedding on a shoestring budget. I wanted these type invites but, can't find anything for sale that is both affordable and nice looking. I was feeling intimidated by the prospect of designing on my gypsy but, today I had a lightbulb go off...i don't need my cricut at all for the folder. I did use it for 1 1/2" (bottom-black) and 1 1/4" (middle-red) circles and the 1.31" scallop circle monogram from Gypsy font (I think...maybe Tie the Knot-gypsy and carts are downstairs so can't check just now). Outer folder is 4" W x 12" L so can get 3 to a 12x12 page. Belly band is 1" W x 8'1/2" L. The writing inside is computer generated and i just folded a couple pieces of paper to stick in inner pocket to get the approx width for belly bands. i just have to look up sizes for small rsvp response envelopes so i know what size to make inserts. Thanks for looking!!

I am an older than "average" full-time student and stay at home mom, my fiance works full-time, goes to school full-time, and helps A LOT with the baby and the housework when I am at school or studying! We don't do daycare so sometimes we can get pretty frazzled! I thought this would be a fun shirt and a maybe it would be a reminder that it is all worthwhile (at least i hope! lol). Used freezer paper of course with the design flipped. I think I used Plantin on this one...not 100% sure? Used Black soft tulip paint for first 2 coats then did 2 thin coats of tulip clear glitter paint...the sparkle is sooo pretty against the black!! Wish you could see it in real life, the pics don't do the sparkle justice! lol

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

This was sooo much fun to do! My daughter is almost ready to potty train and will need a stool to reach the sink to wash her hands and to get on the potty so I picked the stool up at M's and when I went to design it I thought I would do something that would appeal to her beyond her toddler years so, it might be a bit "grown up" for her now at 19 mos but, maybe not!? She got a guitar for christmas that is the same color as the stool so, she can sit on it to play that, too! lol Anyway....here's the pics! (oh by the way...I used spray paint for the pink and after i took the pics I sprayed a clear indoor/outdoor protective finish so it will be safe in the bathroom! lol)

I had so much fun making this book! It's awesome that while doing something that I love I am able to do some recyling/reusing, too! The cardboard from the cereal boxes cuts great with just the regular blade in my cricut!!! Can't wait to do some more!!!
