Eagle Scout

Some dear friends of ours have a son who is having his Court of Honor for Eagle Scout in a couple of weeks. We won't be able to attend since they live some distance away, but I wanted to send him something special to commemorate the event. So, I created this word book using Cricut Design Studio, the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge and Stand and Salute cartridge. My .cut file is available in the sidebar.

Thanks for looking!! I love comments! Have a blessed day!

Just a simple vinyl project I did over my stepdaughter's antique dough table. I love that with vinyl you get a big impact for very little money and effort!! ( Don't know what's up with my pictures. I have to make them very small or you can't see the whole picture!)

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

Winter Woodland--not just for Winter!!

Vinyl on my grandsons wall

This is one of MANY vinyl projects completed this week in my step-daughter's home. Her husband's parents are coming for a visit and she wanted to spruce up her house a little. My grandson saw a similar design and asked if I could re-create it for him. This is the result. It is BIG and stretches over the entire top of his closet. The football player was cut fit to page from Sports Mania, lettering is from George and Lyrical Letters using the Jumbo feature.

First criss-cross card

Where have I been???? I can't believe I just learned about these wonderful criss-cross cards! I have gone criss-cross crazy!!! Anyway, here is a pic of the first one I created for a dear friend who is suffering with shingles. I colored the stamp with Copic markers, the mountains and trees are from the Camp Out cartridge, paper is from DCWV. I used dimensionals to pop up the trees and mountains, along with the fisherman.What do you think??
