I took my the short one to see the Broadway production of How The Grinch Stole Christmas at Gammage and was so inspired by the set design that I had to make a holiday decoration Dr. Suess style. I loved the wreath in particular so I decided to whip one up! I used the Cricut to cut the shapes and then hand drew on the holly leaves and the bow.
I made this on the Cricut using the Gingerbread and the Trim The Tree cartridges. For the complete tutorial click here: Holiday Grinch Wreath How To

These gift tags aren’t just about recycling, they’re about showing your friends how hip and anthropologie-like you can be. Plus you’ll be handcrafting your gifts this year anyway, right? If you’re planning on making your own wrapping paper why not make some gift tags for your pals’ presents too?

I made a cute little chicky Christmas Stocking for the Smallest One (my 1 year old) using the Cricut with the Create-A-Critter cartridge for the birdy and the Tie the Knot cartridge for the crown. I pared these with wool felt and a few fun embellishments to make a cute little stocking. When my oldest daughter, The Short One, was born four years ago I made one for her too so now it is a tradition. Oh what fun!

The shelves at thrift stores are run over with ratty Christmas decorations at this time of the year. Take a look and make a pick using your imagination.
