She's Just a Girl Who Loves Horses

 My granddaughter is taking horse riding lessons.  So, I decided to make her a sweatshirt that will last the winter.  It was pretty easy and came together quickly.   I took an image from Design Space and altered it a bit (taking the heart off of Love, changing the size of the L, and changing the horse.  I think if I added any more colors, she may not like it - 10-year-old fashionistas can be picky.  She loved this sweatshirt!!!

BBTB2: Cricut - Wooden Christmas Ornaments

 It's December, and I've already started running around like there's no tomorrow.  Since we moved this year, the location of all my 20+ boxes of Christmas lights and decorations are somewhat a mystery.  I managed to rummage and find what I needed to get started.  Thank goodness I was able to get a little crafting done a few weeks ago and make these wooden ornaments.   I had cut the wood disks last year and knew where they were and from there I got creating.   These are really popular now, I see them all over Pinterest and craft blogs.

These ornaments are featured in our Bitten by the Bug2 blog, as I am the hostess for the next two weeks.  You can enjoy looking at some inspiration of our Design Team and also link up your own creation that features a Cricut cut/image that uses an ornament.   

I painted the disks black with acrylic paint.  I used iron on vinyl for two of my images.  My first try was not successful, as I melted the vinyl - see the ugly picture.  They I got my patience back and made two more.  The third one (snowman) is just a paper image that I modpodged on and tossed on some silver glitter.  I can't wait to make a few more.  My designs are from Design Space.  Happy Holidays!!
