Cricut Onesies

I was playing around a couple nights ago and made a couple of onesies for Whitney's babe using my Cricut. I didn't have any freezer paper to make stencils, so I used vinyl. I am slowly getting the hang of it; I can't wait to get more practice!

Pages for Baby Album

Here are a couple of pages I've been working on for my BFF in California's baby album. It's been really slow-going. It's been taking one or two sittings to get anything done (from picking out the paper to use, cutting a few things out with my cricut, designing how I want it... throwing it away and starting over) but it's slowly coming along. I've got a couple more pages that still need the pieces added. Oh well. Here is  one:

And the corresponding page:

Alright... 2 down, 18 to go!

Critters

Aren't these just so cute?!? I finally got a chance to play with one of my newer cartridges, Create-A-Critter, which is turning out to be one of my new favorites! Most of the creatures have 3 layers, plus an optional shadow, which makes them super easy to cut-out and put together. A little bit of ink around the edges gives them character, and they're done! I made the husband a card using the frog, so I don't have a picture of him (trust me, though, he's awesome!) I cut each of these at 3" to play around with. I taped a few others on some tissue-paper-wrapped items I'm sending to a friend, along with the artwork for her nursery (see the previous post for that adventure).

Requested Artwork for a Friend's Nursery

One of my friends is having a baby in July, and asked for some help decorating her baby's nursery. I was super-excited about helping; the only problem was that she lives across the country. Soooo all of this is based on a few pictures she sent me of the comforter from Wal-Mart. I think they turned out well.
This was an extra surprise for her, I cut-out the baby's name using Plantin Schoolbook (Tall Ball) on a sheet of 12x24 Walnut-colored vinyl from Oh My Crafts. The stars are from Learning Curve and the road border was from Everyday Paper Dolls (and matches perfectly with the theme).
This was the comforter all of the artwork was based on. Isn't it cute as can be for a little boy?
Here is the first picture. They're all 4x6 matted for 5x7. I love the little airplane from New Arrival. I think it matches quite well! The cloud is popped out onto the matte for a little extra coolness.
I LOVED the dumptruck from Everyday Paper Dolls. One of the piles of dirt is popped out.
And here is another of the 5 total creations. There wasn't a bulldozer on ANY of my cartridges, so I used various shapes and my Gypsy to weld one myself. I think it's my favorite! I hope she enjoys all of the decorations; I wish I was there to see them hung. She promised to send me pictures! :-)
