A card for Brandon!

This week Cooking with Cricut's design team has been busy creating cards for Brandon, an adorable young boy who was badly injured in a car accident.   Brandon will be the recipient of cards that come in for Madison's I Feel the Love Project for May 2012.  For more details about Brandon or the I Feel the Love Project visit Madison's blog here.

Inching by to Say Hi!

I think the Stickles added some needed character to the caterpillar. 

I am borrowing this cartridge and since I can't find it in stores anymore I have been stalking eBay listings.

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.

Previously posted for NSD, but just in case you missed it.

Cooking with Cricut Challenge #79

Make me laugh....

Our creation was to be inspired by a funny quote, poem, pun or saying.

Have you ever had a nagging feeling that you forgot something???   The calendar doesn't pop-up with any reminders but you are almost certain that "today" is more than just a "Wednesday"?  A day when no one around you knows (or remembers) what you are talking about when you say "what is today?"  Well that recently happened to me and a couple of days later, I FINALLY figured it out!  I missed a birthday!

Cartridge: Life's A Party

Using the card feature, cut at 5".

I used the layer feature to create the inside circle. 

The font is Adventure.

And continuing on the pun journey....here's another card.

At work we collected items to send some "comforts from home" to soldiers currently serving overseas.  We gathered (and bought with donations) enough goodies to fill 5 large postal flat rate boxes (USPS offers a discounted rate if the parcels are going to APO and/or FPO addresses!).

Cartridge: Boys Will Be Boys

The tank was cut at 3.5" using all of the layers. 

It's a little hard to tell, but I used the Black Glaze pen to make the

 inside of the gears glossy black. 

The font is Adventure. 

The corners were "chomped" with the lime green handled
corner chompers using "Deco".
