Candy Labels

I originally created these for our wedding (April 21) figuring I would find some use for them, but I am still unsure if I will use them. I used MTC to create our monogram on a rounded square card. It measures 5" W x 5.5" H. I knew that we were doing a candy bar so I added them to my printer and printed the different candy names on each of them. I am just not certain I like them.

Any input, should I keep them or pitch them... add something to them perhaps? Suggestions welcome!

Wedding Banner

Well I am trying to update this as I can... now that I am into prime-time crafting, decorating mode for the wedding. Just over 7 weeks to go! AND, I picked up my dress today! Yes!

So I used Make the Cut for this project not only because of its flexibility to cut just about everything, but I wanted to incorporate a specific font that we used on our invitations (as I have been doing for a lot of wedding crafts lately). The banner I wanted to create will be used as a decoration for our candy bar that we are having.

To start, I used a simple triangle that I manipulated to be the length and size that I wanted, and by joining 4 of them together. Below is a photo of the image:

I then used the font we used on invites: LD Soccer Mom (...I know, the names they come up with...LOL...) to spell out LOVE IS SWEET with a shadow layer. Well I haven't officially assembled all of the pieces, but rather have placed them as I want to. I am really excited and happy with the result. Here is what it will resemble when its completed. I will post photos of it in use later!

I cannot wait to use this at my wedding!

Thanks for stopping by!

Wall Decal

My mom found an idea for her laundry room. Upon showing me the photo, I instantly knew I could re-create it for her!... so with some help from cricut and make the cut... I was able to create the same thing for her!

First I set up my MTC program to look like below. It gave me an idea of how much space it would take up, because my mom doesn't have the same room.

Anyways, after determining that I wanted this as my final size (27-28" long) by ~10" tall... I rearranged all of the items on my screen so that it would fit on one 12x24" mat and then clicked "cut"

Here's the final cut project, once all the excess vinyl was removed:

Leave me some love please and thanks for popping by!

Free time?

Free time, what is that? Oh yes. My time has been consumed with lots and lots of wedding planning! just over 100 days until the big day so free time has been dedicated to wedding stuff! Sorry nothing to post. Once wedding stuff is done hopefully I will get back to this....

It's been confirmed

That one of the packages I sent that I had provided a sneak peak for, has been received...so here are the detailed photos....

Hope you enjoy - will have the other sneak peak in full version soon!

Word Book #2 Sneak Peak

I've been trying to get back to my craft room, but let me tell you it has been a struggle. I did get a new acquisition - a 13x19" photo printer! Woohoo - this should encourage the young scrapbooker, crafter, right? Well I had to do some rearranging in my little room with lots of stuff... and here is how it ended up

There is a small wooden shelving unit which holds a few things that is not visible in this picture, but this pretty much is my setup now, printer one on the desk, printer two on the shelf to the right... 

So anyways on to the sneak peak - which I just finished tonight and is all in part to the newest member of the Nance family, Rob and my nephew, Asher, made his arrival!

Here's the sneaks:

Fox cutout from Create-A-Critter

Raccoon cutout - not exactly how I wanted it to turn out, but still like it!

Love this little hedgehog!

Not quite the whole book, but a view from its closed position.

These (this and the last word book sneak) should be getting mailed to their respective families, and once that has happened I will post more details - full pictures. Hope you liked this one!

Birthday Card

I don't believe that my cousin reads this, and if so I guess this will be a spoiler for her. Got my LOL and Gigabyte stamps in the mail and made this simple card:
