I had 5 free minutes

So I made this.

Russian names

It's hard to find affordable Russian letters to put up on our kids' walls, so I made a few.
 This one says Aviva. Below, they say Sasha and Reuben.


BOO BOO KIT

I'll take any opportunity I can to make stuff with my Silhouette.  Here I've cut Con-Tact paper to label my first aid kit for my diaper bag.  I used transfer tape to get in on there easily.

Back when I first got my cutter

When I first got my cutter, it was for the sole purpose of making my baby's first birthday invitations.  Then I decided it was necessary to craft the entire party.

Below, I cut monkeys to hang in the bamboo plant.  I used chalkboard Con-Tact paper to make the name labels for the gift bags, and I used card stock and twine for the banner.

 Here is my first ever photo banner.  I did everything from card stock.  Writing out the months just through a cut and then gluing that down will NEVER happen again.  Next time, I'll use an adhesive paper and transfer tape.

Photo Banner for a 1st BDay part

Photo Banner For My Niece

This is the 3rd photo banner I've made and let me tell you, photo banners are no fun.  So because I wanted this to be my last, I put in extra effort and I'm really happy with how it came out.

I got the shape and font from Picmonkey.com

Wedding Shower DIY

Wedding Shower DIY

I was the matron of honor at my best friend's wedding and decided to do a little DIY for the shower.
 Above: I made the sign using paper source baby and chalkboard con-tact paper for the writing.
 Above: The lovebirds heart design was purchased from the silhouette store and "printed" on some card stock.  I made a tent card (on the right) and cut up some pieces for people to leave marriage advice for the couple and put them into the cage, which was purchased at Michael's in the dollar bins.

The two above tent cards were downloaded from http://www.birdscards.com/free-digital-cut-files/
