Altered Letters

Okay, so this is a take on an idea I got from Creations with Christina and Custom Crops. I thought that it was just the cutest idea and I've been looking for new things and ideas to decorate my house. I think that these turned out so cute. I made them while my husband was at work and when he got home he thought that I had purchased them this way, so I was excited about that! They do look a lot better in person than in pictures.

The letters were 50% off at Hobby Lobby and I painted them with Acrylic Craft Paint and then traced around the letters on my paper and adhered the paper with my Glue Glidder Pro. The bird and branch (with flowers) were cut on the Cricut with the Serenade Cartridge. I also used Stickles for the first time on the flowers and the bird.

Again, I am just so excited with how these turned out and would encourage anyone to try it. It's really easy and you can customize them to your style (and spell out any word). Hope you enjoy!

Monster Birthday Cupcakes

Here are the cupcakes that I made tonight for my son's birthday! I can't believe that 3 years ago tomorrow I was in the hospital having him! And, it was the worst weather day of the entire year. There was a blizzard and everyone was snowed in :) Well, here is my first try at the cupcakes. These are for the kids at his daycare and then I will have to make another batch for his family birthday party. I figured even if these didn't turn out very well the kids wouldn't care...they still taste great!! My son asked for "extra chocolate" so these are double fudge cupcakes. I think they turned out cute and he really loves them! Enjoy the pics!

Monster Birthday Invitations

Okay, so here are the Monster Birthday Invitations I made today for my son's 3rd Birthday Party. They are VERY simple, but I had to make a bunch of them, so I wanted them to get put together as quickly as possible. On the back I wrote "Our Little Monster is turning 3" and the information for the party. I think they turned out really cute.

I used the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge for the "monster head" and the envelope. The "blast" is cut on Roly Poly at 4 1/2 and the envelope is cut on Roly Poly at 4 3/4.

Hope you enjoy!

Wow, I'm Blogging!
