LDS Logos

I've got so many other things I'm supposed to be doing right now - but I really just wanted to play around a little tonight. I made an svg and mtc of the Relief Society Logo,
which you can get here in svg... or here as a Make the Cut file.


I also did the CTR Shield


which you can get here as an svg... or here as a Make the Cut file.

I have not test cut them, so please if you use them - let me know if they work okay, or not. 


Either way, if you download these, please leave me a comment. :) 

Loving the Christmas Projects

So many people were making these, and it looked so easy that I had to give it a try. Super easy! Super quick! and Gorgeous! I made these in under 30 minutes for each of the kids and my mom. We put them on the tree just in time for Christmas...


Just take a glass ornament ball (I got mine at Michael's) put a few drops of ink from a re-inker - or alcohol inks. Swirl it around until it completely coats the inside of the ball. Then add some glitter. Cover the top of the ball with your thumb and shake it baby! I finished each one off with a vinyl cut of their names using fonts "Grinched", "Curlz", and "MC Twinkle Star". What do you think??

More Christmas Projects

I have been busy busy busy again... and I openly admit to scraplifting some of this stuff. But that's why we share with each other, right?


I got this great svg pattern from Denise's blog. I made 3 of these and put them on 12" round mirrors to give as gifts to very special friends this year. 


My mother asked me to make some cards for her siblings, and these are what I came up with. I used the Christmas Solutions cartridge to cut out the tree onto some mounting paper. I got the different colors by taking out only certain parts of the design and adding some "Glamour Glitter" to the sticky page. Sorry the pictures don't do these justice. It is a very cool effect to have the entire design in glitter. And the Glamour Glitter is so fine that this design is smooth to the touch. I used some Flower Soft for the snow and on the embellisments on the inside of the cards.


We have some little friends who turned 2 on December 5th. So I quickly created these cards using Design Studio, Sesame Street Font and George.
This one is for Brooklyn...and this one is for Will. The glitter is Martha Stewart and it GLOWS in the dark! The little kids loved them!

I totally scraplifted this one off of the Cricut message board - but it was worth it! Such a cute idea! It was for my mom and she loved it too. Kind of fun to see her reaction when I know she loves something I've given her. Love ya mom!

I used Paper Doll Dressup to cut out these images, and embellished them with a whole bunch of different stickles, inks, fun flock and paints. Although it is not my design, I did save my .cut file if any of you would like to have a copy of it.

Christmas Ornaments and SVG's

I have been really busy as of late! I've made so many things and have so many more to go - and the clock is just ticking away. I need to slow down and enjoy a little bit more of the "Christmas" spirit and not so much "rush"...


I used vinyl on both sides of these little glass ornaments that I picked up at Michaels. I also put a little bit of fake snow inside, along with a small cut of something Christmasy - like a stocking, star or toy.


Everyone had matching ribbons to hang the ornaments with.


A better glimpse of the type of decoration I placed inside the ball.


These were super fun to make and really easy! We'll be mailing most of these out this week, and hope that they get there in time for Christmas.

I also did a very rough cut of one of the churches from the Winter Wonderland cartridge. These are so stinkin' cute! I haven't made a bigger one yet - but I can see so much potential for decorating these. Something for every season!


This last weekend I was asked to help with the ward "Super Saturday" and we made some signs with vinyl on them. I totally scored with the vinyl as I called a local sign shop and they said I could come pick up some scraps for FREE! There was quite a bit of it there - and certainly more than enough to cut for the signs were were making. Here are some samples of our finished projects...






They turned out so well! The girls making them wanted to have another sign making activity with some ideas for Family Home Evening boards.

I was playing around tonight too and made a few svgs. I haven't test cut them - so if you download them, please leave me a note to tell me if they work or not.

Posters and Another Layout

I had a very productive weekend! DD called me from work on Friday night and said that she had volunteered to help with a work project... which actually translated to mean that she'd volunteered ME for a work project. They were having a special in the cosmetics department and she couldn't bear to watch this girl cutting out snowflakes with a template and scissors. She told me what we needed to do, so we got right to work and came up with these -


There were 13 of them all together. Just different snowflakes that we sprinkled Dazzling Diamond glitter on - but they did turn out quite well. The girls at DD's work thought they did too... She said that she got hugged "lots" and there was also lots of squealing and kudos for these "beautiful posters". They sent home a great thank you package full of new perfumes and creams! Both things that I LOVE!

I was still in the mojo mood, so I finished up a scrapbook page that I had started about a week ago. I know! But it turned into quite a busy week! This layout is based on a sketch from Crafts By Rowena. (I love her sketches!) Let me know what you think. :)
