Super Bowl Decorations

Hi Everyone!

I am gearing up for the Super Bowl party that will be at my house on Sunday. However, it has been very difficult here in Arizona to find anything Green Bay Packers. I had to order a new Jersey (have #4 Brett Favre, but now need #12 Aaron Rodgers instead) online since none of the local sports stores were going to get any in. Unfortunately, I will not get the jersey until Monday. Guess I better doctor up my Favre jersey to show Rodgers!! The party store JUST got in the napkins and plates the day before yesterday. No other decorations, just table stuff. So, I decided I needed to make my own. I still have more to make, but wanted to show you what I have gotten done so far.

First, I have a candy dish. Thanks to Kinderstampo for the inspiration. She did a video for a much smaller one. I started with a 12x12 sheet of craft paper and went from there.
I made this banner using the Country Life Cricut cartridge. I used some Packer stamps that I got from Peachy Keen Stamps. They now have some new ones out so I guess I will have to order those too.
I just finished decorating some Hershey Nugget candy bars. I found a logo online and then reshaped it a bit into a circle (instead of an oval) since I didn't have an oval punch.
Let me know what you think or if you have any other ideas for more decorations for my party! Go Packers!!!

Thanksgiving banner

Hello all,

Here is a banner that I made for Thanksgiving. I don't remember which cartridges I used for the shapes, but I used Base Camp for the lettering. That is my favorite font cartridge. The gold paper I used looks kind of like fabric when you see it up close. I used some eyelets to reinforce the holes where I tied the pieces together with some raffia I had in my scrap box. I have it hanging my my mantle for all to see.

Now I have to start working on a Christmas banner to hang there during the holidays. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. Christmas will be here before we know it. Better get working on my Christmas list and my Christmas cards!

Let me know what you think. Hope you all enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Bye!!

Design Team post for Craft Junkie Too!

Here is the design I made for Craft Junkie Too Project call this week. The theme was "Halloween is in the Air" and you had to make something that you could hang up. I decided to do a Trick or Treat banner complete with glitter! I used the Blackletter cartridge for the lettering. The paper is from Bazzill and the glitter is Stickles. The candy corn stickers are from EK Success.Hope you like it. I really had a good time making this one. Let me know what you think!
Have a great Wednesday!

First try at a holiday banner!

Well, I had seen so many beautiful holiday banners on the blogs so I decided that I would try one too. I was at an all-day crop last weekend and made this Halloween banner. I used George for the slotted ovals, and Happy Hauntings Vampire font with shadow for the lettering. I strung them together with a piece of black lace that kind of looks like spider webbing. I now have it hanging in the front window of my house. What do you think?

I have found a new way to use my Cricut. Now I am making a Thanksgiving one for my fireplace, a birthday one (because we have a bunch of birthdays coming up before the end of the year), and then maybe a Christmas one too.

Talk to you all soon. Have a great Tuesday!
