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!!

Aunt Plaque

Last week was my sisters birthday and I had no clue what to get her. I have been out of work and am low on money as well so I turned to Pinterest hoping to find something that I could make for her birthday. Besides homemade gifts are better than going out and purchasing a gift. As I was searching on Pinterest, I come across this Grandparents plaque. At the top it said Grandma and Grandpa's Grandchildren and it had a quote in the middle with all of the children's names around it. I took this one step further and did this for my sister with our nieces and nephew. We recently just had our third niece born on 9-17-12 and I figured why not make an Aunt plaque? So what I did is I went on Paint on the computer and made an 8 by 10 mat and colored it light purpler (my sisters favorite color). Then at the top I wrote "Aunt Tammy's Nieces & Nephew". I found an Aunt quote and put that in the middle and surrounded it with a white rectangle. Then I put all of the children's names around the quote. Since there are three girls and one boy it fit perfectly around the rectangle. I also added their birthdays underneath their names. It came out beautiful!
