Toy Story on Ice "Admit One" Ticket

I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything, but life seems to have me meeting myself coming and going.

Anyway, I have still been crafting (a little). Here is the first post of some of the things I have made over the past 9 months.

Ok, my cousin and his wife "commissioned" me to make a card to give to my nephew for his birthday. They decided for his birthday this year they were going to take him to see Toy Story on Ice. He loved it!!!!





Recipe:
Ticket - 2 @ 8.94" x 4.5" each (welded on the Gypsy) - Mickey Font
Black box - 1 @ 7.54" x 4.2" - Gypsy Wanderings
Numbers - 2 @ 3.94" x 0.64" Cricut Classic Font
Admit One - all letters at 0.80" height - Cricut Classic Font

Inside:
TOY STORY cut @ 4"

Toy Story Birthday Invitations

My nephew LOVES Toy Story, so I volunteered to make his birthday invitations.




Recipe:
5.75" x 5.75" - brown cardstock
5.5" x 5.5" - yellow cardstock
5.5" x 5.5" - white cardstok
5.25" x 5.25" - red cardstock
4.75" - Woody and all of his parts

Once I find out all of the "where's" and "when's" I will type it all up and run 5.5" x 5.5" white cardstock through my printer then adhere it to the back of the card.

Thanks for looking,
Melissa


*****EDIT*****
Well, just so everyone knows. According to my post office, cards this size cost more to mail. It weighs as a 44 cent card, but because it is an "odd size" you have to add an additional 20 cents, so be prepared to spend 64 cents to mail a 6 x 6 card/envelope. I found out the hard way as a bunch of my Christmas cards were returned for additional postage.

Etched Glass Blocks

It has been a very busy around here. Here are a few glass blocks I made for Christmas presents this year. I made a total of 15 of these blocks. Sorry, I didn't take pictures of them all, but here a few. I designed all of my images on the Gypsy, cut them on vinyl and applied etching cream.

Happy Thanksgiving - Vinyl

I ordered some vinyl from CraftVinyl. It is very nice quality vinyl and I highly recommend them. Anyway. this is my front screen door. I just wanted to do something simple. Well, it is NOT simple to layer vinyl!!! It was next to impossible to keep the air bubbles out, let alone line things up. I don't think I did too bad considering it was my first time trying to do this.

Recipe:
Turkey - Create A Critter Turkey - all parts cut at 11.10"
Happy Thanksgiving - MS Seasonal Cake Art - cut at 6.45"
Gypsy (of course)

With Sympathy

My daughter recently had a death in her extended family. Sympathy cards are not my favorite to create. I always second guess myself as to what is appropriate. Well, this is what I came up with.



Recipe:

Card: Stock 5 x 7 card kit, cut to a 5" x 6.75"
Black cardstock - cut at 5" x 6.75"
White cardstock - cut at 5" x 6.75"
Martha Stewart punch around the page - Double Loops
Cuttlebug folder - Victoria
Embossed White cardstock - 4" x 5.75"
Black ribbon
Oval "with sympathy" tag - created on the Gypsy (using TBBM)
"with sympathy" stamp from Michael's $1.00 bin

Inside card - I looked up some card verses on the internet and found one I really liked, so I copied it and pasted it into a 5 x 7 WORD document, then printed it on my home computer.

Another reason I've been so busy ....

my Granddaughter .....

My daughter and granddaughter live with us. My daughter works nights so that we don't have to put the baby in daycare. I work a full time day job, so my evenings are spent "playing" and not scrapping .... but that's okay. LOL

Below is a current picture of our precious granddaughter (my daughter has requested that I not post any direct shots of her). She is now 7 1/2 months old and getting into EVERYTHING ... I'm beginning to think that she isn't going to crawl and will just start off walking, or maybe even running! LOL
