More Madness....


Just a little sneak peak to some of Lily's Birthday decorations :)
I worked long and hard tonight! I worked on lily's invitations for about an hour and then did a banner which is what the picture is for, I worked on that for about an hour to an hour and a half. Once I get it together i'll post a picture! :)

And the madness begins....

Lily's Birthday is in less than two months, so it is obviously crunch time! I have started a few projects that I am obsolutely crazy about. The theme is going to be Minnie Mouse, but a glam Minnie Mouse! The colors will be black (obviously), hot pink and zebra! I've already found a few blogs with this theme and obsolutely love the concept! So my first goal is to get the invitations done by the end of next week! Here is a picutre of her invitations so far, the only changes that will happen is that there will be writing and design on the white part and the bow will be in the middle!
This was all cut by the Cricut and it did take awhile to figure out measurments, but actually making the invitation itself probably took around 3 minutes at the most once I got everything the way I wanted it. I'm absolutely in love with the cricut, it is so much fun to be able to design everything the EXACT way you want it. And to make matters even better, it is so simple to use. You load your paper, pick your design and BAM there you have it. Exactly what you wanted. The only thing thats hard to do is picking the size, because what you have in your head isn't what the computer prints out so it may take awhile to get use to, but I am on my way! Next blog will be about the decorations!

Inspired


So I decided to bust out my Cricut at 1030 tonight and it is now 1230 and I made 4 Valentines day cards...Not too shabby for only using it 2 times! It's easy and hard at the same time....Loading the paper and having the cricut cut all the shapes and words is the easy part, it's the part of taking it off the sticky pad and glueing it onto something else that is difficult. Oh and also centering the objects, I need to learn how to do that cause I'm not too good at it. And all you OCD people (Amanda) would get annoyed haha


I'm having so much fun with this cricut! Two hours have flown by and it feels like it was 10 minutes! I really am inspired to start doing more card type things. Such as thank you cards, invitations, get well soon cards, anything that involves a card I'm going to make it! Hopefully I can get an Etsy shop going with this and make me some mooolah.


Any suggestions on what to do next? Love to hear some feed back!
