Minion bowling

I haven't done much crafting lately. I've been dealing with postpartum depression problems and I'm not doing many of the things that I normally love. My husband asked me to make these minion bowling pins for our daughter's soccer team that he coaches. 

I did a print and cut for the goggles

Birthday Bash

A card for my niece's 6th birthday using Birthday Bash. 

A leprechaun trap

My daughter needed a leprechaun trap for her Kindergarten class. This is what we came up with. The leprechaun will go after the sparkly pot of gold, fall inside the hole and land in a pile of super sticky tape. I'm sure we will catch that sneaky leprechaun. 

A quick thank you card

I haven't gotten much Cricut time with the new baby. I brought her in the craft room and put her in her baby papasan and she cried pretty much the whole time I worked on this thank you card. Poor baby has a cough/cold and is getting over pink eye. Cooties! 

I used Create a Critter for the kitty and George and Basic Shapes for the word bubble. The sentiment is from an old Pink Stamper set that I have. I picked up this super cute button embossing folder just after Christmas at Joann's. I need to challenge myself to emboss more because I have a bunch of cute folders that I don't utilize very often. 

Happy Valentines Day

Candy Land

My niece had a Candy Land themed birthday, so I decided to make a card to match the theme. 

I made the road using the "slice" tool on Design Space. Loving the way this turned out. 

New Years Projects

We had family over for game night on New Years Eve. Here are some projects that I made. 

I cut out a bunch of light blue and white snowflakes to hang from our living room ceiling. My husband called it the worlds largest baby mobile. I think we will leave them up throughout the winter because it looks pretty cool. 

I got an Instax Polaroid camera for Christmas and decided to do a photo booth. 

Here is the backdrop that I made.

Photo booth props

New Years masks

Some pictures we took. We had a lot of fun with the photo booth. 

Not doing well

I miss crafting. I've just been too sick after the c-section to do anything. Now I have a uterine infection accompanied by high fevers and terrible chills where my whole body shakes. Thankful that my mom could stay with me this first week out of the hospital as I definitely couldn't have managed on my own. 

Molly and Me

Meghan and Molly

Been crafting something in my belly

Well you probably won't see any new Cricut creations from me for a little while. I had to have an unexpected c-section on 12/1 to deliver miss Molly this week. I'm still in the hospital til maybe Friday. I can't wait to get out of here. It feels like a prison cell. 

Our six year old daughter, Meghan loves her new sister. 

Cricut Jolly Holidays cartridge

I bought the Jolly Holidays digital cartridge on sale today for $14.99 on Cricut.com 

Cleaning the craft area

I'm actively "nesting" before the baby comes in a little over a week. I started on my craft room today. I found an envelope with five of these elves that I pieced together last Christmas. I decided to make some quick Christmas cards. I think I need about 7 more cards to have enough for my list, so I'll post more as I make them. 

Create a Friend

Elegant Edges

Thanksgiving card

I haven't crafted anything over the last couple weeks. Not feeling the best and it hurts like crazy to sit for too long. 

Create a Critter and Just Because Cards cartridges

3D Christmas Tree Fun

These are super easy to make and you can do it with a number of the evergreen trees available in Design Space. I cut out 4 trees at about 4" x 5" each. I attached a score line down the center of the trees so I could use my scoring tool and save time folding them. I cut the stars at about an inch. My daughter is going to help me decorate them for our mantel for Christmas. 

I used some small glue dots to ad the tiny buttons and bakers twine to this one. I'll share more pictures later when we get more decorated.

Cards for the troops project

I'm super happy that I got back all of the cards that I sent with my daughter to school. Several of the elementary school classes helped color and write on the inside of the Christmas cards. All of the drawings are pictures that I made and have posted on my other blog www.scraphappypapercrafter.blogspot.com

120 cards ready to go.

I spent time today writing in the ones that I made using my Cricut. This has been such a fun and rewarding project. It was so great to get the kids involved with this and to have the teachers follow through.

Entered in the Bitten By The Bug challenge

Alright my husband did carve this one with our daughter. She had to get her hands goopy with pumpkin guts. 

Halloween goodie bags

I used the Elegant Edges cartridge to make the tops of these goodie bags for my daughter's class Halloween party this week. I did a print and cut using images from the Trick or Treat cartridge and the font from Happy Hauntings. 

Baby Scrapbook

I started working on the scrapbook for our baby on the way. I used the Baby Steps cartridge to do the clothes line. Whenever I get little scraps of white paper I have been using my cloud punches and keeping the clouds in an envelope to use later.
