Mom's Kitchen Sign

 

I made this sign using my Cricut and used a new to me technique of layering colors for the sunflower.  It was a fun and quick project.

Celebrate Girl With Flowers card

 

I'm kind of ashamed to say that I colored this sweet girl last year and am just now getting around to making a card for her.  I actually like the bold green and purples together to make a card suitable for a birthday or Mother's Day.  I just got a fresh batch of stamps from Whipper Snapper Designs so hopefully I'll have more cards using their stamps up soon.

Gotta Have My Nip Jar

 

I'm really loving my Cricut and all the fun ideas that I create to go with it.  My cats were wild about this one.  They picked out the package right away containing catnip when it came in the house.  I literally had to hide it out of their reach and then filled the jars in the bathroom with the door locked.  I sprayed Lysol after filling them but they still knew it was in there by the expressions on both of their faces when I opened the door.  The jars are still intact and they haven't found the stash.  Yet.  I tried to have the Gotta Have My Nip as part of the design on the jar but the lettering was way too small.  Luckily I'm a crafter with lots of supplies.  I typed out the saying and ran it through the printer and then punched out the tags.  I added a red paw print.
