I just had to add a little sparkle on my New machine with the Holographic vinyl's that is

on SALE on the Cricut website.

I used the Opal and blue. The one in the middle looks like red but it's not,

it's rose pink. It's sooo pretty in person and is

easy to cut and apply to most anything, including glass or cards.

The best part is that it's removable, so if you need to change it you can.

Even though it's Cricut brand, you can use this in any cutting machine.

I have the Eclips machine also and it cuts beautifully.

It's really hard to take a good picture because of it being Holographic but

it's just gorgeous. You can see how it changes color.

Here's another close up of the blue. Soooo pretty!

This is the Dust cover that I made for my machine. I love butterflies

and just happened to have this in my stash. Yes, from years ago! lol

Oh, did I mention that I knew I would need this someday. haha

It was perfect for this project.

But wait until I tell you a little story

about my sewing adventure.

Yep, that's my first dust cover with all the bumble bee's on it.

Well, when I was in school and a lot younger, I took a class in sewing.

We were going to make an apron with a bib.

Not sure if they even have those anymore. haha

We had a full class and the teacher was busy helping others.

I didn't want to be late for my next class, so I delved right in and

started cutting it out. Welllll...to make a long story short, my

apron did NOT have a BIB. I can't remember now, but I must

have cut it without folding it or something.

So, when I wanted to make my Cricut dust cover, I just delved right in again.

This is the first one that I made and I didn't even noticed that it was extra long.

Yep, I sewed it all up and then looked at it and said, hmmmm what happened. 

Deja Vu! lol

Well, maybe Cricut will make a LONGER machine someday to fit it.

The bumble bee material is pretty with the black ends. Could I cut it in half??

I think I'll wait on that! lol

This picture perfect collection is another fine addition to Birds store.

I found the perfect frames for my next project. My daughter just came

back from her business trip through Amsterdam, Greece and I wanted

to showcase her pictures for her office wall.

The 6 x 6 shadow box flower frame were the perfect frame!

This is the set of three that I made for her.  Since she loves

browns and blacks, I thought I would use the paper pack from Craft Smith

called Typecraft. It was the perfect papers with the words and designs

along the edges.

First up is the Symi island and ancient ruins. I just tacked it lightly

so she can add her own picture in it. For the brads in the flowers, I used

Tim Holtz travel brads.

Up next is another one in the Symi Islands. Again, I just tacked the

picture in. I love how easy these shadow boxes were to assemble with

Birds video tutorial. Very quick to make. I did want to mention that the

flower buds are so cute and look so real. You can't see them much

in mine, but you can check them out in Birds original ones.

Up last is Amsterdam and I'm sure she will want me to make her

lots and lots of frames. :)

Happy with how they all turned out and can't wait for my daughter

to see them all. I know she will love them!!

This is a must have collection of beautiful frames and shadow boxes.

And it's on sale for a limited time.
