Do something amazing!

I used the Cricut Expressions machine to cut out vinyl letters. Peal the back off the vinyl letters and stick to the wall.

Heard you've been naughty!

Ok so I have no idea what to get my older nieces and nephews for Christmas except a card with money. So I figured why not add a little something onto the card?

First I measured out the base by using the tic tac case. Then I cut and scored the paper so it would fit perfectly around the tic tacs. Next I made a mat out of black and white paper. I just made each a hair smaller than the other and wrote the cute saying on it. Next I took white ribbon and wrapped it around the entire thing. I then separately made a ribbon to glue on to the front and used a sticker with their initial for the front. Easy and very cute!

Personalized painted candles

Personalized painted candles are quick and easy to make. I bought large candle at Walmart for $2. I then picked the font I liked most and printed out a letter. I cut out the letter and then taped it to the candle. I then took a pencil and outlined the letter and removed the letter from the candle. The letter was etched into the candle. Lastly, I painted the letter onto the candle. Quick. Easy. And cheap to make!

Movie Night Goodies!!

Ok so while on Pinterest I saw a pin for a movie package. I thought it was a great idea for a Christmas gift. Come on, who doesn't want a movie and some snacks for a movie night? All of this was made from 12 x 12 card stock paper. I laid the paper face down and marked where the movie would be and scored the sides so the paper wrapped around the movie. Then I used the cricut expressions machine and cut out a small box at four inches. I used random stickers to put movie night on the front. Then used ribbon to tie it all up and added candy in the pocket! Quick and easy gift for Christmas!!
