I've been playing again!

16 years ago

Thought I'd share a few of the projects I've been working on lately. I also painted a couple of Christmas in July projects which are posted over on the Painting forum.

These were done using the Cricut, and the rope one and the flower one are little thank you gifts for friends, the cubicle one was requested by another good friend who actually has to work in a cubicle,(excuse the streaks on it, the Mod Podge wasn't completely dry when I snapped the pic) and the little Halloween people were something I was thinking about doing to go on bags of candy this year. Either I'm slow or they are time consuming, so not sure if I'll go with that Idea or not! LOL

Hope you enjoy the pics.

    Luvs: These are to cute. You sure have been busy!
    I love the little halloween characters especially.
    I particularly like the "I'm so busy".. sounds terribly familiar in my own world lately.
    You have done wonders with your cricut. FH bought one for me and I'm ashamed to say I've rarely used it.

    You are on a creative roll. Love that cubicle sign, it will be a big hit I'm sure! And the tiny Halloween characters are adorable, the Witch especially. Those would be great ornaments for a Halloween tree!

    My fav is the lost horse with the bandana hanger. The picture that it made me conjure up in my head, made me chuckle right out loud.
    The Halloween tags are adorable - and I bet they're time consuming!

    Karen, your suggestion of hanging them on a little tree is a good one. I'll have to find me a branch and spray paint it black. There are several others I still hope to make, like a ghost, skeleton, etc. I'm putting an extra piece on the back to make them a bit more sturdy. I'll have to come up with something else fun for Trick or Treat handouts I think.

    OA, the friend I made the rope sign for is the cowboy type who actually rides horses so as soon as I saw this saying, I knew it was perfect for his home office! The flower sign is for his wife, and I used the yellow/gold color because it goes with their house color so should look good in her flower bed.

    MM, I found that once I stopped thinking cards/scrapbooks and just thought "crafts", a whole range of ideas popped in my head that I could use the Cricut for. Then I started browsing blogs and found lots of decorated blocks, frames and signs and I was off and running! Doesn't take much to get me excited when it comes to crafts--and I find crafting to be really good "therapy". ;o)

    I can't wait to get the cubicle sign to my other friend so I can hear the comments she gets when co-workers passing by her cubicle read it! LOL I'm thinking about making her another one so she can switch them out. The next one will say "This day was just a waste of makeup". I know, I have a warped sense of humor! LOL

    Hope these gave you all a smile, I enjoyed being able to share them. ;o)

    Luvs...I'm so jealous over how
    'productive' you are ALL the time!!

    I love your sence of humor...not warped at all..
    It just speaks 'Many Truths', that we can get away with...thru humor!! lol
    The 'Padded Cell' I'm sure MANY can relate to -
    'Flowers Feed The Soul' so true, and ALSO the Deer!
    'I'm so busy' - We Can ALL relate to!!
    The little Halloween tags...are just too 'CUTE'!!
    I'm sure everyone here will agree... everything you create.. always make us smile!

    BIG SMILE from me, too, luvs! Using that bandana for the horse sign is very unique! My DD has a Cricut & uses it for scrapbooking & cards...DH & I always get "original" cards from her! I'll have to show her some of your work! Keep it up! Yup, looks like good therapy! TFS! Jeanne S.

    What a creative outlet you've found. The signs are just adorbable. Have you considered selling on www.etsy.com?

    Those are really great!!! I love the "lost/found" one and can truly identify!!
    The little people are precious...I can see WHY they are time consuming...you are great!!

    Those are super cute. You have really gotten your money's worth with that cutter. I love, love, love the saying about the make-up being a waste. I know the feeling. Thanks for the smiles.

    Cute signs and the treat bag decorations are darling.
    They might be time consuming, but sure are worth it!

    TFS,

    Luvs: I don't think you have a warped sense of humor at all. LOL
    I used to have a little framed sign on my desk that a friend printed for me. It said "Life's a box of chocolates ~ and I ate em' all."... LOL
    That got me a few dirty looks from time to time.

    Thanks for all the fun comments, ladies. I've always enjoyed doing things that make me smile, hoping that they will make others smile as well.

    I too have many other things I SHOULD be doing instead of playing with my cutter and painting things--but the play makes me happy and I still manage to do dishes, dusting, laundry, grocery shopping, and yard work enough to get by. LOL My house could be cleaner--but I don't think anyone cares but me anyway, so it will wait until I get to it! Life's short--make time for fun!
