Mother's Day Gift Inspiration

This week at Cooking with Cricut, the Design Team wanted to give you some Mother's Day Gift Inspiration.

My mom often takes treats to work to celebrate a birthday or as part of a potluck or sometimes "just because".  She is as sweet as some of her treats and she always puts thought and love into whatever she makes.  Now she can take her treats into the office in style AND as an added bonus easily identify which containers belong to her! 

Secret confession......I thought of making one that said "DO NOT TOUCH" or "NOT YOURS" <insert EVIL grin and menacing laugh here> for those times that the treats have to go into the unguarded refrigerator. 

 This is a sectioned "chip & dip" container from Wal*Mart. 

A tub of dip (ranch, french onion, cream cheese whips, caramel, etc.)

fits perfectly in the center.

This is an "Ultimate 3 in 1" Cake Caddy from Hobby Lobby.

Purchased using a 40% coupon!  I *heart* coupons!!

A gift wouldn't be complete without a matching card.

Personalized Christmas Album

I can not believe that it is almost October!  It seems that this year has gone by very quickly. 

Here's a little glimpse of what you can do with a pre-made album (this one was purchased at Hallmark), a Cricut and a little vinyl.  The recipient (in this case -- his parents) are sure to love this one of kind gift.

Personalize w/ Cricut!

With a name as unique as mine, I have always known that if I received a gift with my name on it the gift giver had to 1.) make it by hand or 2.) have it made for me.  I have always felt special when receiving something with my name on it! 

I personalized this scrapbook organizer using my Cricut and vinyl.....now it's easy to put kits in it and quickly grab it on my way to crop with friends.  (BTW - speaking of cropping with friends - we will be at Archiver's on July 30th.)

Being able to personalize items is one reason I LOVE my Cricut! Cartridges used: Alphalicious and George and Basic Shapes. Scrapbook organizer/tote purchased at Michael's.
