I got a Cricut for Christmas, can you tell? haha The title of FAMILY is cut from one of the sets--Yippee! I enjoyed playing with this new toy. The awesome thing is that my LSS (Local Scrap Store*) has a Cricut Club where you can rent the cartridges from their library for $6.95 a week. How cool is that! Kudos to Memory Lane of PA!! This was our attempt of a holiday family portrait although my sons didn't really feel like being there! LOL I used Ki Memories lace paper behind the Scenic Route PP! I also used Prima Bling for accents as you can see in the detail picture. Love those companies!

Maya Road Rage Call

Maya Road did an open call for CHA projects. I decided to think outside the box by taking their paisley sheers and turning them into wearable art. This necklace was constructed by sanding the edges, inking the sheers and using a Pentouch silver pen on the edges for accent. then the sheers were turned and punched with my Crop-a-dile and eyelets held them in shape. I used sterling silver wire to make links for the necklace and to hold the various parts together. I then turned the Maya Road tin into a Jewlery Box for the piece. I hope you enjoy!
