Monogram Fall Pumpkin

Pumpkins - $4.99 Michael's

Black Vinyl

Transfer Tape

Cricut Exrpession

SCAL2

Regal Font

I created a 5" tall Regal font capital R in SCAL2 and cut it out in black outdoor

vinyl on my Cricut Expression.  All I had was glossy vinyl, but would recommend

using matte instead.  It takes A LOT of work to get the vinyl to stick onto the

pumpkin, but I totally love how it turned out & will display it until Thanksgiving!

If you have any questions, feel free to email me!

I would love to see your pumpkins, so leave me a link in the comments!

Monogrammed Cutting Board

I wanted to share with you the newest red item in my kitchen!

I was doing some online window shopping & saw lots of

monogrammed cutting boards. It didn't take me but a couple

of minutes to decide I wanted to make one for myself!

I used SCAL to design the monogram.  I imported a swirly

frame SVG and the font Monogram KK.  Once I was happy

with my design, I mirrored the image before I cut the vinyl.

I used my Cricut to cut the red adhesive vinyl.

(settings - 3, 3, 3)

YAY...I had a clear glass cutting board in the kitchen!

After finding the center of my cutting board & image, 

I applied the vinyl to the back of the cutting board.

And here's my new cutting board monogrammed in RED!

Wreath Results

I finally finished my Butterfly Wreath!  I used my Cricut & SCAL2 to cut the scalloped circles out of the brown lunch bags.  I used the KutUps font from Clever Some Day

I found these fabric butterflies at Michaels yesterday and hot glued them to extra long quilting pins so I can easily change this wreath from season to season!  =)  I pinned the ribbon to the back of the wreath, too.

I haven't decided where I'm going to hang it yet, but I wanted to show you how it looked on the wall.

Motivation Monday - Altered Pop Top Can

I have been racking my brain trying to come up with a really cute Valentine's Day Craft.  Today while cruising the craft boards, I think I have found exactly what I want to do.

The only limit to what you can put in the can is the size of can you use!  I can think of something to put in these cans for just about everybody.  However, I don't think I'll be making them for the itty bitties just because they might get cut on the can once the top is popped.

(not my picture)

I found the Altered Pop Top Can Tutorial at Craftbits.com.  I've already created a SCAL2 cut file that will fit a Sam's Club soup pop top can.  Can't wait to try this (hopefully tomorrow)!

On a side note, I did finish the Knitted Top Hat in aqua blue & have almost finished a Popcorn Bobble Hat in cream.  I hope to have pictures soon!  =)

Scribble Sun SVG

Wow...what a rainy weekend!  We received  close to 3 inches of rain and most of it fell last night!  For a little while we were under a Tornado Warning & we were under a Flood Warning all night (our family is fine).  Today is beautiful, and even though the little one & I have a cold, we are enjoying the sun shining through all the windows.  It's super windy outside, so we won't be venturing out today.

To celebrate the beautiful day, I'm sharing a cute little Scribble Sun with you!  =)

Motivation Monday - Recent Vinyl Projects

I used my Cricut E & SCAL2 to make wall art for the bedroom doors in my house.  I also used vinyl on the dry erase boards & my Cricut E!  (the boards are attached to the doors with Command Picture Hangers - the velcro type)

Printing & Using Cricut Markers for text

While searching for ways to print on the tags I make with my Cricut E & using SCAL2, I found this blog by Clever Someday that provides links to a couple of Pen Fonts that you can use with the Cricut markers or Gel pens.
