The 6th Day of Christmas

For the 6th Day of Christmas, I have a video for you all! I show you how to seal little gifts. For my video, I used the initial ornaments that I made. This can be used for candies, ornaments, die cuts, cards... the list goes on and on. It is so simple to do, yet creates such a professional look! To cool! :) ~Emma

Handmade Gift Ideas

Hello Everyone! I wanted to share 3 past projects that I have created. I wanted to share the 2 kinds of ornaments that I have created as well as a decorated frame.

I created this frame by decoupaging pattern paper scraps onto a plain frame. I cut the letters on this frame from Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge. This is perfect for grandparents who have tons of pictures of grandkids. :)

This ornament is my favorite. I was inspired by this video from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nq3JoFfoP8&feature=player_embedded. Instead of Glitter It though, I used Mod Podge. I also used plain cardstock instead of vinyl to add the letter.
This is perfect for the girly girl in your life. :)

This last ornament is perfect for kids. I used my Cricut markers to draw the letters on the fabric. I made about 17 of these, so I used my Gypsy to arrange them to take up the least amount of room. I drew them out and cut them with scissors. They don't really fray, because I ironed interfacing on the back. This also helps with keeping it in place while you're drawing with your Cricut.

Can you believe that tomorrow kicks off the 12 Days of Christmas??? I'm hoping I'll be ready. :) LOL! I am in need of some guest designers to help me out! Leave a message on my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/KatelynCo.EKS) or email me (KatelynCo.EKS@gmail.com) and we'll get a date for you. :) Come back tomorrow for a Christmas project!! :) ~Emma

Fabric Christmas Ornaments

Hello everyone! Today I have a Christmas present idea using the Cricut. I used regular fabric with Heat 'n' bond interfacing. I was having issues cutting it, so I used my Cricut color markers to draw the letters on the back and just cut them out with scissors. I then used an awl to punch holes and tie ribbon through them. I made 17 of these. :) I hope you like them! ~Emma

Pumpkin Scrapbook Page

Hello everyone!! I'm really excited about getting back into routine! I've really missed it. I made this scrapbook page for a picture of Halloween Jack-o-Lanterns. I used my Gypsy to weld the swirl (Storybook) and pumpkin (Gypsy wanderings) together. I used a pumpkin paper that I got at my local Hobby Lobby. I just used a pen to draw the faces on them. I think it turned out really well. The title letters are from Learning Curve. I was going for a fun look (versus vintage looks and creepy looks) on this page. My tip for fun looks? Use bright greens, oranges, purples, and black. :) I am loving how this page turned out. :D Come back for more soon! ~Emma

'The Kids' Scrapbook Page

This is project number 13 and and challenge number 12. For this challenge I had to make something with a kid theme or make something with a kid. Since I don't have any kids, I just made a scrapbook page of kids. This is the last project of the day, but we still have one post to go: The post of the giveaways/contest. YAYY!! Come back soon for the big announcements!!! ~Emma
