Booze Bouquet


The vase is actually a "POP CORN" bucket that was purchased from the Dollar Tree which was covered with scrapbooking paper. The flowers were cut from Mother's Day Bouquet Cricut cartridge. The small bottles of liquor were tabled to wooden sticks then wrapped in clear cellophane. 

The flowers were inked to give them a distressed look. Moss is placed at the top to hide the sticks. In order to keep the arrangement from tipping over, small glass beads were placed in the bottom. Floral foam holds everything in place. A simple bow placed at the front to finish the project. 

Santa Belt Layout

Welcome to Christmas! The lights are cut at 2". A shiny silver base with primary colored bulbs. Santa is cut at 2" as is the Santa belt. 

The Santa is cut at 3". His mustache and hat are pop dotted. The black ribbon came from Michael's. 

Christmas Hats



The hats were made for a friend's photoshoot. 

Snowflake Hat in Blue

Who would think that a snowflake diecut would make such a pretty flower. Each flower is inked to add extra texture. 

Snowflake Hat

The flowers on the hat are actually snowflakes cut from the Cricut cartridge "When it is Cold Outside". Each layout is inked a soft baby blue. The ribbon was purchased from Michael's as was the fuzzy ribbon giving the hat a softer look. 

Fussy Cuts "Flower Garden"

Each of the flowers and leaves were cut from a sheet of printed paper. Some of the flowers were popped dotted. 

The photo mats were inked on the edges to give the mats a more rustic look. 

I have never been a big fan of fussy cutting but my mind has been changed forever after this page. 

Fussy Cuts "Forest Dreams"

This page was made by hand cutting the swirls from a patterned page that someone gave me. I loved how it turned out.. 

Close up look at the left hand page. The flowers are silk and paper.

Close up look at the right hand page. The small circles were also fussy cut and pop dotted.
