Two Hands Creating

A Busy Saturday Morning

2011-09-03T11:43:00.000-07:00

I am soo thrilled that we finally got another laptop. YAY!!! Now, when Chris is teaching his classes on Saturday mornings, I can do a little creating with Sure Cuts Alot and surf the blogs for the next big thing that I have to do. With that all said, bring on the pictures!!!! This is a few things I did today. 4 baby onsies and a sand table for the kiddos. The onesies will go to my friend who just had a baby girl...

is where I got the great simple instructions for the sand table. I plan on making another one this weekend.

Back to School

2011-08-18T11:10:00.000-07:00

I have four little ones heading off to pre-k this year and to celebrate thier time with me and the friends they made I found the poem and put it on the pillow case and painted all the kids hands. I am going to give these tomorrow when they leave as I wipe away my tears.

Ooey gooey week.

2011-08-18T10:59:00.000-07:00

I operate a home day care partly I believe to give me another outlet to get messy and all that fun stuff. I love to find the messiest projects to do with the kids. Oh, how the kids love it. My own kids are 10 and 8 and they can't wait to see what we are going to get into. Here are few pictures of ooey gooey week. I did a lot of hunting for these projects and have to give credit to other bloggers who do post what they do with thier kiddos.

We played with clay, and then painted it and added glitter and jewels and feathers. We flyswatter painted, OH MY!!!!!!!!!! that was soo much fun. I still have paint on the outside toys from the paint splatter, we painted masks and then added feathers and such. We painted frames with rubber bands. We dunked the rubber bands in the paint and then pulled them around the frame and snapped the rubber band. Yup, you guessed it. Paint again splattered everywhere and giggling could be heard down the street. After the flyswatter painting and rubberband painting we then body painted and then stomped thru the paint and painted my cement patio. I used tempra paint and add some DAWN dish soap to the paint to help in the clean up and to help come off the clothes.

Those wiggly wobbly things...

2011-08-18T10:55:00.000-07:00

OH my goodness, I totally forgot what the name is of that little wobbly things that make the image wobble back and forth. ANYWHO!!! I love how it adds a little something to the card.

Quick Cards

2011-06-04T17:09:00.000-07:00

I found this cute little duck so I wanted to make a shape card and send it to my mom celebrating the day we spent with her and my dad at the farm. Enjoy!

I made the snail birthday card for my other mom for her birthday that is quickly coming up. It was scraplifted for a talented lady for the cricut message boards. SO much inspiration there.

WINNER IS......

2011-04-15T10:29:00.000-07:00

Thank you for following our Spring/Easter Time Bashful Bunny Blog Hop for the Cricut message board. These ladies are soo talented and incrediably funny and smart.

Thank you for visiting Cindy from http://mylazycrafternoon.blogspot.com/ and soon you will be off to Heather at http://papercrafteranonymous.com/ I hope you enjoy your visit here.

This is a SCAL file from last year. It was free at that time. I so wish that I could find the link to where I got it from so you could get it, too. I have hunted for two days for it agian because I was for sure that I lost the file.

Both projects are made on tile, the chocolate bunnies are on 6x6 tile with brown vinyl. The doodlecharm bunny was made on 4x4 black tile with white vinyl. I just love using vinyl.

So, this is my first blog hop,I hope all is enjoyed. I had a few ideas of what I wanted to do.The second picture is from the doodlecharms cricut cartridge, I used prisma markers to color in ears and the black to outline the mouth and the whiskers. I hot glued in the brads at the ribbon holes. (we drilled too big of holes lol)

If you leave a comment there will be BLOG CANDY to one of you lucky ladies.

Plastic Easter Egg Crafts

2011-04-15T10:25:00.000-07:00

Here are few little things that you can create with your little one using up all of those plastic easter eggs after they have been emptied of the treasures. Some of the ideas were from a book and others where from other familyfun.com. I have done some of these with toddlers and brownie girl scouts.

Easter Tiles with Vinyl

2011-04-14T11:07:00.000-07:00

I forgot how much I enjoy using vinyl. Here are couple of items I did for Spring or Easter, and just plain cause I love rabbits, heeheehee...

The white tile has a light gray marble in it, I could not find a pure white big tile. The tile is 12x12.

The black tile is 4x4. I was orginally thinking of putting magnets on the back but I think they are still a little too heavy for that. I also don't really like the white edges so I am going to paint marker them in gold or black, not real sure just yet and then picture hangers on the back.

Baby Onesies

2010-06-19T10:00:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I in love with these smart ass sayings on the baby onsies. I also have become slightly addicted to vinyl and heat transfer vinyl. AND what a great time to discover this addiction with a brand new nephew and niece added to my loving family. I am very VERY new at trying the heat vinyl and learned some important things along the way... such as you have to FLIP and type in your saying in backwards in order for it to come out right if you are not using SCAL, MTC or Design Studio. Anyways, enough blabbering...on to the pictures...

Baby Shower Invitations

2010-05-18T11:36:00.000-07:00

I have found a really cute baby invitation that I wanted to make for my two sister in laws baby showers this spring. I wanted to share it with you because I personally think they are adorable. I cut it with Sure Cuts Alot 2.

Altered Notebook (well, just the front)

2009-11-13T11:02:00.000-08:00

I helped my mother in law make this to for a wedding shower. I think it is cute and quite addictive to make. Who doesn't like a personalized notebook and ribbon?

Cricut cutting Fondant

2009-11-13T07:51:00.001-08:00

I used the cricut to cut hello kitty out of fondant. I have heard of ladies doing this on cricut boards so I just had to try it. Ladies advised to put gum-tex with the fondant to help it dry so that is what I did. I set my machine on slow speed and low pressure with my blade at a 6. It cut pretty good. What do you think?

Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut

2009-11-12T08:02:00.000-08:00

I have cut a few images for Jody's birthday. The group of 3 was cut at 4 3/4" and the hello kitty balloons and cake were both cut at 11 1/2". I like to use some sort of embellishments for the bows or small areas. I used brads today. When I cut her I always use a piece of yellow to layer behind the spot for her nose. I just don't like the little dot that is suppose to be used.

Santa Face

2009-11-12T07:12:00.000-08:00

I am just learning and playing with scal2 and I am trying to get everything just right but OMG it takes some practice. I do find it fun, alot more enjoyable than I thought I would. So, here is a santa face that I have been playing with. I do wish that I could figure out how to create my own but I am not that techincal nor creative. I hope you enjoy this.

Stamped Image Swap

2009-08-22T19:53:00.000-07:00

I have been doing a couple of swaps lately and of course the ones that I really would like to do are already full or the deadline to sign up is already past. Or too many restrictions. So, here is what I would like to do.

I would like to host a stamped image swap. Send two stamped images, any two that you like, 5 copies of each stamped image. The ink would be black staz-on so that we can color it as we wish. Please leave a comment if you would be interested.
I will keep this open until September 5, 2009.

Birthday Card

2009-06-22T07:50:00.000-07:00

Here is a birthday card that I rubber stamped and then watercolored with water color pencils. I encourage everyone to try this. It is super easy and tons of fun.

Paint cans.

2009-06-22T06:21:00.000-07:00

More paint cans. One is for my Dad,Mom and a friends little girl's birthday. I just have to tell ya about my Dad's can. I was the paper a few weeks ago at Hobby Lobby and I had to get it. I didn't know how I was going to use it, then all of sudden Father's Day was here. What better use than a paint can filled with goodies for dear ol pops ???!!!I think it turned out adorable. Enjoy.

Alter Paint Cans

2009-05-20T12:39:00.000-07:00

Who knew that doing these would be soo fun and addicting. This weekend we made 5 of these. 3 for school teachers, 1 for a wedding, and 1 for a 80th birthday..

What's moo??

2009-05-18T12:10:00.000-07:00

What's moo??? I admit to scraplifting this from two ladies on the cricut messageboards. OMG, I just couldn't stop myself from making one. It is soo darn cute. Kudos to them...

Lost your bounce?

2009-05-18T12:08:00.000-07:00

This was done with a football fan in mind, but I watercolored a house mouse stamp and layered it on cardstock....

Hello Kitty

2009-05-18T12:04:00.000-07:00

This a large Hello Kitty cut from the Hello Kitty cricut cartridge. I cut it at 8 1/2 inches. I added prima flowers just for a little more bling...

Lunchbag Mini Album

2009-05-14T10:22:00.000-07:00

For Mother's Day my mom and I swapped a mini album that we created. I made her a flip flop book and she made this brown lunch bag mini album. There are many, many pockets that tags, embellishments and pictures can be hidden. I personally love it.

Altered Paint Can

2009-05-11T13:56:00.000-07:00

Here is a paint can that with help of my dear mother in law we altered for a babyshower. It was a lot of fun and let me tell you, they are addicting to do. I have now done about 4 cans. I enjoy the whole picking out a theme and then hunting down the elements to go on them.

Monster of a Get Well Soon

2009-05-10T20:00:00.000-07:00

I was just wondering around Michael's craft store and found these super cute monster rub-ons. I have been wanting to try rub-ons so I bought them. Here is the result....
I used Beyond Birthday cricut cartridge.

Hang in There

2009-05-10T19:52:00.000-07:00

I made this with the cricut wild card cartridge. I used the cuttlebug on the top cover.
Enjoy...
