Ornaments for the Dance Team

After discovering how easy it was to make glitter ornaments, I decided to make them for the dance team that I coach. 

I purchased 24 clear ornaments from Michael's.  I used Pledge Floor Cleaner with Future Shine to coat the inside, then used red Recollections glitter to fill the inside.

I cut the silouhette of the dancer from Shall We Dance at 2 1/4".  I cut dance from Twinkle Toes Lite at 3".

The ribbon on the top is from Michael's as well. 

The girls really loved them!  Have a very Merry Christmas!

My first glitter ornament

Recently I was in a Secret Sister Stocking Swap through the Cricut Circle.  I did this last year and I loved it so much!

Here is a picture of the ornament I made for my person.  It is my first ever glitter ornament!  Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures before I sent it so this is the only picture I have.  Thanks got2bcrafting for taking a picture!

I am also entering this into the current Circle challenge.

Sophie card and winner!

Hello!  Thank you to everyone who stopped by for the Sophie hop this past Saturday.  I really appreciate you taking the time to hop along with us and to leave such nice comments!  The winner of the KaiserCraft blog candy is...

Joydee, I will be emailing you!

I have another Sophie project to share with you.  I made this card for my mother's birthday. (The glitter paper made a glare on the camera.)

This is the card feature of one of the birds on the Sophie cart.  The card is cut at 5".  In the picture below, you can see I also cut a circle to cover up the inside.  It was the backside of the glitter paper and I didn't like how that looked.  I used the same paper as the card base. 

I took part of the negative from the front cut of the card to make a little flourish on the inside.  I think it looks beautiful when it is opened up with that in there.  The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up set.

Thanks for visiting today!

Sophie Blog Hop

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the Sophie Blog Hop!  This hop will feature projects made using the Cricut Circle Exclusive cartridge Sophie.  This is the first cartridge of the Circle's second year!  All of the bloggers today are Cricut Circle members.  Interesting in learning more about the Circle?  Click HERE (http://www.cricut.com/circle/sign.up.aspx).  

The Sophie cartridge comes with many features including cards, bookmarks, and doilies.  Hop along with us to explore the Sophie cart and gain some inspiration!

I made a card to share with you today. 

This card is 6"x6" and opens at the bottom.  It is made entirely with KaiserCraft's Be Merry collection (out last year).  The doily feature was cut at 5.5".  The circle to complete the inside of the doily is from Plantin' Schoolbook, cut at 3.75".  That is the one thing about the Sophie cart - I wish the shift key of the doily would cut out a circle to go in the middle.  I inked the circle with a Brilliance eye drop pad.

The tree was cut at 3.5" with the shift layer as well.  I added a yellow skittle at the top to add that special something.  It's hard to tell in these pictures but the background paper is actually velvety, which gives this card a great texture and feel when it's in your hands.  I added some white ribbon as well across the back.

Before you move on to our other bloggers, leave a comment on this post for a chance to win a small pack of things from KaiserCrafts other Christmas line from last year, 'Tis the Season.

Hippo Birthday

My neice recently had a birthday and this is the card I created for her:

The hippo is cut at 3.5" from Birthday Bash.
The paper and ribbon was from my stash.
The sentiment is My Pink Stamper.

I added stickles to the cherry on the ice cream cone and to her toes to give a girl a little nail polish! 

Have a great day!

Party Goers - Mickey Layout 3

This is the last layout in this birthday series.  I think it is important to document who came to the party too! 

For this layout, I used the ticket feature on the Mickey Font cart.  (I really used a lot of this cart in this layout series!  It was fun re-acquainting myself with the features.)  Both tickets were cut at 1.5", then split down the middle where the pages adjoin.  

The Mickey heads around the page are 1.5" and the Mickey Ears at the bottom of the journaling block are 1".

Be sure to leave a comment on this post for another chance to win the Mickey blog candy from the HOP.  If you comment on all three layouts, you will have three chances at winning!  I will choose a winner tomorrow - a fun announcement that you won something before going out and spending all your money on Black Friday deals!  :)

Thanks for stopping by!
