Solar System

    
                                                        This is from a few weeks ago, Braydon had a science project to do. He had to make a solar system. And here's the kicker, he only gave us one evenings notice. So this is what we came up with. Our homemade solar system is a cardboard box painted black inside and the planets are 2 cardboard circles that fit together to make it dimensional. And they are just colored and hanging from yarn and paper clips (the only yarn we had was white so we actually painted the yarn black to blend in). We cut a bunch of little stars from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge and the astronaut, spaceship, alien, and UFO are all from Everyday Paper Dolls. It's days like these, we are SO glad to have had the cricut! Oh and the sun is just one of those squishy toy balls. Haha.

More Cards

'Hat's off to you' was made for my brothers birthday. I used All mixed up and plantin schoolbook for the 'Hats off to you phrase" and welded it together with the gypsy. The argyle background is from Wild Card, and the cowboy hat is from everyday paper dolls.
'You make me melt', and 'Love you a latte' are both just from Just Because Cards. I have been making a lot of cards lately. I really like cards. I'm not much of a scrapbooker so I don't really know how to do layouts, nor do I have the patience for it.

Bee Happy Card

This is made from Just Because Cards (my very fav cartridge so far!)

Word Book-Mothers Day

This was a Mothers Day gift for my Mother this year. It was designed on the Gypsy and cut out using chipboard and the deep cut blade for cricut.





Mothers Day Word Book

This was a gift for my mother in law for mother's day. It was designed using the Gypsy. The front and back covers are chipboard covered with cardstock, the other pages are just cardstock. A little tip, when cutting chipboard it's best to use a clean, new sticky mat. I learned this lesson the hard way. The chipboard kept shifting around on the mat and didn't cut right.





A Little Bird Told Me Card

I made this for my brother and sister in law, who just found out they are expecting!! Yay for them! This is also made with Just Because Cards cartridge. I SO love this cart!
