KIDS SAY THE FUNNIEST THINGS

Okay we all know that kids say whatever, whenever they want, well my 6 year old just came into my office and I said to him, what is your daddy doing? He said .... "OH HE IS IN HIS OFFICE DOING NOTHING" and then my 6 year old said "AND I GOT A RING AND I JUST GOT MARRIED, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM MARRIED TO".....................oh my, he doesn't know but he had me laugh so hard when he left the room.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY..........CHIPBOARD BAG

Okay I don't know why I called this a chipboard bag........when it is more like a chipboard box.....anyhow, I just made this bag/box out of chipboard using my awesome Expression machine.......my on my, I tell you this machine is just awesome....It has a multi cut feature on it that lets you cut through chipboard so I had to try it to form a bag/box......it came out great.....I will put a little something in this for my son's 15Th birthday Wednesday......

PARTY TIME...........GIFT BAG

OOOOOOOOO I am loving these huge 12 by 24 inch size mats for the new Cricut Expression machine..My brain is just on overtime right now thinking about all the fun things I will be able to do with the larger mats.....At first though there was one problem....I wanted to make some huge gift bags out of some of my beautiful pattern paper, but the biggest pattern paper comes in is only 12 by 12.....so SOLUTION......sew the paper together and YIPEEEEEEEEE, I was able to do a huge bag.......I am not sure who I am going to give this bag to though, because no one is having a birthday......(that I know of)

WALL DECOR FOR MY DAUGTHERS ROOM

Here are two picture frames that I did for my daughter's room......I bought these frames at Aaron Brothers awhile back..........Her room is pretty much all pink right now...you can see it here: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e258/CUTUPS/ebony.jpg So I thought since she is getting a little bigger, I would make this really cute quilt with black, pink and hot pink in it. Anyways I used my expression to make the huge flower at 6 1/2 inches from the George cart. The leaves are from the Walk in my garden at 1 and 3/4 and the stem is just a piece of chipboard.......the scallop at the bottom was done from the Disney shape cart.....can't remember the size...I was going to doodle around the border of the picture, but the paper is kind of slick and it would have smeared......now I need to make the quilt. Hum maybe I will make a wallpaper boarder..........maybe even paint the bottom wall lime green.....what do ya think? By the way you can find some really great deals on Cricut cartridges and the new EXPRESSION macine over at Hallmark Scrapbooks......
