World's best teacher

Hi everyone.  I haven't been able to post much lately because life has been crazy.  Kids were sick most of October and I have been using every spare minute to get ready for a craft show next week.  Iknow that I've shared my decorative cups before but I came up with a couple more designs for the craft show.  Here's one of them.

It is so easy to cut vinyl with the cricut.  Set everything to 3 and cut!  You will need transfer tape to remove the images from the mat and place them onto the cup.  Have fun.

John Deere Party

My son recently turned one and in honor of the giant John Deere tractor my husband just bought, we had a themed party.  My Dad decorated the cake like a construction site.  We were able to find chocolate rocks in 2 sizes at the local cake store.  He made the hill out of cupcakes and iced it and decorated it with crushed Oreos.  The picture doesn't do the cake justice.

I made party gifts for the kids who came to celebrate.  I found the buckets and shovels on Oriental Trading.com.  I put the shovel in a green cellophane bag and filled it with M&Ms.  I made chocolate tractor suckers from a mold I found at the local cake decorating store.  Then I cut out the kids names on the Cricut.  I cut vinyl using all settings at 3 and it turned out perfect.  The vinyl is really stuck to the buckets and I think that it will last a long time.  The font is from Cricut Craftroom Basics.

I also found a large bucket at Michael's and added the birthday boy's name to it and filled it with dirt cake.  I added gummy worms and chocolate rocks for a "realistic effect".  This font is from Close To My Heart Art Philosophy.

Happy Birthday Connor!
