Booster club items....cross post with Expressions Vinyl

Hi, and welcome....Today is my cross post day with Expression Vinyl. Check out their blog...  Expressions Vinyl Blog

I made a few goodies for the back to school footbal season!  It is really big in Texas.

Check out the Expression Vinyl Blog for detailed instructions, but here are some pics I wanted to share.

 

Happy 40th Birthday, Hubby!

Had a great birthday celebration with family and friends for hubby's birthday this month. 
I made a little invite.  I got the idea from my friend Michelle at www.scrappinwithmybug.com. Then I carried the theme throughout the entire party.  I even ordered custom fortune cookies with Chris' favorite quotes.

Hope you enjoy!

Cute little invite ala Scrappinwithmybug

Used the same Cuttle Bug folder to emboss cocktail napkins and then stamped them Happy Birthday.

had various tartlets instead of cakes with mini toppers

favors for the guests (sorry for the bad pic)

Dylan turns 1! Or....look what I got to do.....Yippee!!

So, my friend Amber's son turned 1 July 1st.  She was very excited about planning the perfect birthday party for the little man.  While she was researching some super cute decorations she showed me some pics of cupcake toppers she liked....I said "I could make those for you."  Little did she know I would go bonkers!  She got ADORABLE party decorations at Target.  It is Little Monsters.  Very cute!  I horned my way in to make a little high chair banner for little Dylan and then surprised him (well really her :)...) with a little monster t-shirt I embellished.

Check it out....

Here are the party pictures...You can see the cute decoratoins from Target.

I love the cake, too!!!  Awesome....

Love the letters under the cupcake stand....and the colorful paper

Here's some shots and breakdown of my small contribution to the decor....

 The cupcake toppers where made using the Celebration cartridge!

 I layered vinyl on the front for the party monster cut from the Mini Monster's Cartridge.
I used the Mickey Font cartridge for the name on the back.

 On the high chair banner I used Mini Monsters and Mickey Font again.
I used a different Cuttlebug folder to emboss each pennant.  I embellished them
with some SEI Monster Googley Eyes, some korker ribbon, some orange pom-pom trim
(a gift from Dylan's mom) and a sticker set I got at Target that matched the decorations

Well, I was feeling super bad about horning in and inviting myself to help out with the decorations, but both mommy and Grandma were pleased.  They showered me with very thoughtful gifts (crafty stuff! and a gift card) in way of thanks. I was happy to do it and happy to share it with you!  Thank you, Amber, for sharing your pics with me!  Dylan is a cutie!

On the Road Again....Easy Garbage Pail

This month's challenge for the Cricut Circle is to make something useful for your car on those Summer road trips.  No matter what I always seem to have bunches of trash...add in other people and it gets to be a problem....So I made this little garbage pail.  I live in Texas and the year I started driving Texas came out with the Don't Mess with Texas campaign...So of course I had to do that on one side using the 50 states cartridge for the Texas cut, the star and letters from Cake Basics....Used the Cricut Decals cartridge from the E2 Expression and Plaintain Schoolbook for the other side.  I used high performance vinyl, so the pail can be used for many other things....like hitting the beach....
