Ok, I made 30 backpacks earlier for a gathering at work....it was cancelled....so I made 10 more but this time I used the Best Friends Imagine cart for the designs and of course the backpacks are from Lifes a Party cut at 4.7". Why only 10 more you ask??? I work in a hospital and theres about 20 co-workers during my shift and the rest is for anyone that might wonder on to my unit...LOL

Did I say how much I LOVE CARDSTOCK WITH A DESIGN!!!  projects look so much better with a design than a solid color......Oh they are filled with lifesavers and I'll pass them out Monday- Labor Day. Ha Ha Ha...get it?......a backpack to help lighten their load of labor ....ROTFLOL!!! thats what I'll say too when I hand them out.....he he he  he....

OH MY GOSH!!! This was so much fun!! I'm really starting to LOVE the Imagine!!
I made 30 of these backpacks from Life's a Party cart cut at 4.7" and with the Imagine and the Bubblegum cart I printed each backpack with a different design....OK theres only 20 designs I had to repeat some of the designs. LOL. I used embroidery floss for the straps and tie and they each have 4 lifesaver candies inside.  Aren't they GORGEOUS!!!!! Thats cardstock!! you can't buy cardstock with a design!!! I didn't want solid colored bags...so I finally got creative and used my Imagine. ROTFLOL!!! I hope you all weren't thinking of the Bubblegum that you chew.......ha ha ha I'm a paper crafter I'm talking about the Imagine cart Bubblegum!! Don't you just love those designs??? Their so Bright and colorful!! I love this cart!! I made the backpacks for a little gathering we're having at work...I hope I made enough....

Remember its cardstock I copied it twice then mirrored copied it twice (my earrings have a front and back). I applied a thin layer of modge podge to all the pieces, let it dry and glue together. You have earrings...HA HA HA.   OK OK...no more earring for awhile...yeah right....he he he

FYI- earrings are made out of white cardstock.  I cut 4 images.. my earrings have a front and back! with a lite coating of modge podge. if you want to see my other earrings look under "jewelry" to the right.

Be prepared to be bombarded with FLOWERS! ha ha ha... I got the cricut Giant Flowers cart and can not wait..... I LOVE flowers especially since I have a black thumb...paper ones will live forever and no watering required...LOL!!!!

a potted plant farewell....

A co-worker is leaving so I made her a potted plant farewell.
The flower pot is made with the silhouette (the file is in the store) and the flowers were done with: Gypsy Wanderings, George and Basic Shapes and Plantin Schoolbook. The edges were inked and bling was added.

Never thought my paper crafting would turn into jewelry. I'm having a BLAST with earrings....
Using the silhouette and a digi. I sized them down to 1.5".  I made fronts and backs...I have short hair, you can see my earrings coming and going...LOL!!! Added a thin layer of modge podge to protect them.
When using modge podge you have to be QUICK! ONE SWIPE is all it takes, otherwise you'll smear the ink.
So I wouldn't poke a hole in their head I got some scratch pieces of cs and poked a 1/8" hole then a 1/4" over it and glued it between the fronts and backs.

heres my Tweet earrings
(yes, the feet on the back are a brighter orange, I had to use a marker to touch them up)

While I was at it..
Heres my "gloomy" Eeyore earrings....ROTFLOL

HA HA!! I'm an equal opportunity crafter..I've made earrings with the cricut Imagine and now the Silhouette. I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!
