Donating our Hair -- not SB related (yet!)
My DDs and I got our hair cut and are donating to Locks of Love, an organization that makes custom wigs for children. I wanted to share my pics with you! I can't wait to scrap these!
Befores:
Hannah (aged 8)
me:
Teagan (aged 3 1/2)
Afters:
11.5 inches:
11 inches:
(Mine was 20 inches)
"THE HAIR!"
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this worthy organization! While we do not personally have a family member or friend who is in need, there are many children who are, and I am so proud that my girls would do this. They do this in honour of my mother who died of cancer when Hannah was 2 and before Teagan was born.
ps. Happy Mother's Day :-)

This week's challenge on My Sheri Crafts blog is "Hello"! I thought about using this expression in an unexpected way, on a LO. So, here's my "Hello Reader" LO of Hannah as a baby, reading a fabric book:
Love all the glitter on this page. It doesn't come through as nicely on the photos, but "Hello" and Elmo's book are Stickled!
Supplies:
Sesame Street and Friends Cricut cartridge
Stickles
Foam Dots and adhesive
Paper: Me and My Big Ideas, "A Kid Like Me"
Font for "Hello": Vivaldi, cut with Sure Cuts A Lot 2

Cutting Chocolate with Cricut
My lovely eldest daughter has her 8th birthday fast approaching, and since it's in mid-December, we decided to have her party this weekend. I've always wanted to try cutting edible materials with my cricut, so I got out my retired Baby Bug, washed her down, got out my deep cut blade housing and set up for some edible cutting!
I made some Marshmallow Fondant and melted some white chocolate and coloured it with pink food colouring. I made some cuts on the fondant, which were quite successful, but DD decided she wanted the bunny pan instead of a round cake decorated. I still used the fondant for decorating, but only cut DD's name with the white chocolate. I think it turned out really nice, and she was thrilled!

Ma Petite Artiste
Here's Hannah at 2 1/2 painting. Love the picture she made me, so I mimicked it with cuts!
(My Little Artist)
Supplies:
Paper: red, green, light green, brown, blue and yellow cardstock; DCWV Animal Crackers
Create a Critter (frog and dragonfly) and Everyday Paper Dolls (grassy reeds) cricut cartridges
Nestabilities scalloped oval
Cuttlebug Spots and Dots embossing folder
Stickers: Sandylion Alphabet-Vintage Mix (Ma), Making Memories brad alphabet (petite), Making Memories Shimmer Holiday red (Artiste)
Making Memories Antique brass 1/8" brads
EK Success punches: Large dotted scallop and swiss cheese corner
Label Instructions:
Emboss a 4" x 5" rectangle using Spots and Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder. Cut a large oval using nestabilities, then emboss the edge using the nestie. This will flatten out the entire label, and your stickers will adhere well. Sand the circles lightly for more emphasis. Ink edges, then apply title. Done!

Hannah and her Bucket Full of Dinosaurs
When Hannah was 2, she loved dinosaurs! She has tons of these plastic ones, and her favorite thing to do was make them "kiss". She had about 5 brontosaurus, and would make the two biggest kiss like mommy and daddy, then she'd line up all the babies.
The inspiration for the page is a TV show called Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, shown on Treehouse and YTV in Canada. It's a cute, cartoon show where the play dinos come to life in his imagination.
Supplies:
Paper: Colorbox (My Wildlife Paper pack) and solid cardstock
Ink for edges
All shapes cut from Cricut Create a Critter
Font is Missy BT, cut with SCAL2: Blue is normal, white is shadow 4.5, light blue is 9; everything welded.
Thanks for looking!

Scrap your Stash Challenge
Over on the Cricut Circle Messageboard, I'm one of the hostesses for the daily challenge (I'm Tuesday and Thursday :-). This weekend was "Scrap your Stash -- paper" and I have literally scrapped with scraps this LO. Here's a before pictures of what I planned to use:
And here's my LO. Hannah used to love the movie Shrek, so I used a title based on the movie that has entered our family's lexicon, and she really did enjoy our special weekend homemade waffles. It's hard to see in the picture of the picture, but she's clapping her hands full of whipped cream.
I think tonight we might have waffles for dinner! Thanks for stopping by. If you haven't already entered my blog candy, please scroll down.....
Supplies:
Random paper, scrap of ribbon
Fonts: Arial ("And...mornin'") and Hello Kitty ("Waffles", the font, not the cricut cartridge).

The Toothpick Princess
My DD Hannah, at 2 years old, loved to walk to the grocery store to help mommy shop. In their deli department, she'd eat any and all the samples offered. They were always on toothpicks. Soon, she refused to eat anything unless presented on a toothpick, thus becoming, "The Toothprick Princess"!

Fonts: vtks Black ("the"); Chinese Takeaway ("toothpick");
Cricut cartridge: Hannah Montana "princess"

Stickles, gold

Puddle jumper
My husband refers to these photos as Hannah's escaped mental-illness patient days. That child always wanted to wear what SHE wanted to wear. This was the standard outfit -- raincoat, favorite pink boots and jammies underneath! Fortunately, it fits the day here, where she's off to jump in puddles behind our fence.
This picture was perfect for something I like to do: cut elements into photos. If you look carefully, you'll see I've cut raindrops into the photo, then replaced them on the mat. I also enjoyed using Create A Critter for something different (the title) and one of my all-time favorite cartridges (I love silhouettes!), Nursery Rhyme. Thanks for visiting!
Supplies:
Font: Teardrop
Paper: K&Co Wild Saffron
Blue and cream cardstock
Blue and brown cricut markers

Nursery Rhyme and Create a Critter cricut cartridges
Glitter
Glue
Instructions:
1. Crop photos to size, then create a cardstock piece the same size for testing cut on. Arrange teardrop shapes on virtual mat, copy/paste and resize to create double cut lines, then run test cut to ensure proper placement. Adjust if necessary, then cut photo. Back photo with mat, then place teardrop cuts.
2. Cut "Rainaway" (Nursery Rhyme) at 5" on blue. Cut blackout on cream, trim off duck with scissors. Ink edges, or use a cricut marker. Adhere together.
3. Cut "Splash" (Create a Critter) at 5" in cream. Draw with blue cricut marker. Use glitter on the water splash.
4. Arrange all on base cardstock. Adhere. Enjoy!

Girl with Doll silhouette
I've working back in time: this is my DD#1, Hannah, in 2004. When I showed her the LO, she thought it was her little sister, who is that age right now. Very sweet. I love the silhouette cuts on Nursery Rhymes and A Child's Year, but I wanted a girl and doll in long grass to match Hannah, so made this one instead. Hope you all like it!
