Cameo Princess...

I love playing with all the features on my Cameo.

I just created this super quick card using a digi image. I checked out Simply Cricuting's tutorial on How to use your Silhouette Cameo and Digis. The only difference is that I released the compound and colored in each piece of the digi before I printed it.

This is what it looks like on the Silhouette Screen after filling in each piece.

I can't believe I was able to color, print, and have it all cut out in less than 10 minutes. This feature will make it so easy to mass produce cards for invites =)

Nana's Sippy Cup

This project was made with my gorgeous mom in mind.

While in Vegas earlier this year, my mom got a t-shirt that had this sentiment with a glass of wine.  So I thought I would make her a little frame to place a pic of the two of us doing a little wine tasting together =) The glasses and bottle come from Scraptastical Kreations. I made the title and the letter "J" using the font feature on my Cameo. My mom loves the J Winery up in Healdsburg (Just outside of Napa). She's even a member of their wine club.

Twine Storage

I've got a nice little stash of twine and embroidery floss and I finally organized it!

I just saw a posting on Timeless Twine asking how people store their skeins. So I thought about how mine were being stored in a basket and were all tangled up. I decided to grab some clothespins and get to work (I've seriously got to get more organized in the new year).  

 Keeping the thread wrapped around the clothespins allows me to see what I've got at a quick glance and it keeps it all from getting tangled. It all fits nicely in a plastic storage box too.

Woo Hoo!!! I've already got a leg up on the new year with some crafty organization. Can't wait to stock up on some more twine ;)

So how do you keep your skeins organized???

 Head on over to Timeless Twine and tell them ShortyCreations sent ya ;)

Reindeer Games

I've been doing a lot more layouts lately. 

But they're more practical for me than making cards.

 This adorable pattern is a mixture of two sets from Scraptastical Kreations.

I made the title using the font feature on my Cameo and welding the Scraptastical Kreations reindeer and my title together. I love being able to create my own titles.

 The reindeer are from Here Comes Santa

The trees are from O Holy Night

Elf Tag

I LOVE my Cameo!!!

 Just whipped up these super cute gift tags using the print and cut feature on the Cameo. A HUGE thank you goes out to Jin from Under A Cherry Tree for her awesome Silhouette Studio Tutorial: How to make Gift Tags using Print-and-Cut.
I used A Jingle Jangle Chrismas from Scraptastical Kreations for this super cute image.

And it's so easy to mass produce on my Cameo =)

Christmas Morning

I can't wait to see my girls wake up on Christmas morning. I'm envisioning it looking something like this =)

Our Elf's name is Peppermint... a.k.a. Pep. My girls have found her at the top of my daughter's crib, on the curtain rod, and on the wall sconce. Who knows where she'll end up next. 

I had to make sure my LO matched the 2 foot tall stockings that I just made =)
