I made this great gift for a guy friend who did some barter work for me and he loves music. I filled a flash drive with MP3’s of music and then made a gift container out of embossed paper and a mini plastic paint container that I got at the craft store. To emboss the paper I used my Cuttlebug and the Country Life Embossing Folder and I cut the guitars and cassette tape out on my Cricut using the Indie Art Cartridge. All paper was from Bazzil Basics. I loved this little goody and almost hated giving it up!

This was the short one’s Christmas present on Christmas morning. It is a 2 foot x 3 foot canvas painted pink and screen printed, using the YUDU, with a castle from the Once Upon a Princess Cartridge and the Cricut. I added embellishments along the top out of felt and a ribbon notion and I added in felt trees to the sides of the castle. We just recently saw the movie Tangled about Rapunzel so I decided to make her blond hair cascade down from the tower window, this was made by pulling apart yarn and tying a bow. The short one was so thrilled that we had to stop everything and hang it up in her room above her bed.

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

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!

This girly girl gift idea is one that you will not want to wrap. It is made using Bazzill Basics paper and the Forever Young Cricut cartridge. I cut the girly silhouette on the Cricut in different sized layers and backed it with chipboard, added some bling and sprayed on some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. I have the silhouette resting on a simple wooden easel that I covered with a hot pink lace.
Then I used a scrabble tile, covered it in red Bazzill Basics paper and cut out a matching girly silhouette out of pink paper and glued those to the tile, I screwed in an eyelet and then added a silver plumbers chain. Gift complete! Now I have to go run and hide it so it will be a surprise for Christmas!
