Circle Mania Projects

I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but I have been busy crafting! This past weekend, I hosted a weekend long Cricut crafting party that I named Circle Mania. Most of the projects I've been making have been for Circle Mania and I wanted to keep them a surprise until Mania happened. So here are a few things I made:

A tag for the 50 Welcome bags {it's a clear plastic treat bag with a water bottle, Hershey bar and bag of pretzels} the attendees received when they checked in. The hotel was nice enough to keep them at the front desk and give them out! I also wrapped the water bottles in white and green polka dot cardstock.

Name tags for all the attendees with cardstock and silk flowers and a keepsake center:

Another water bottle wrapped with white and pink polka dot cardstock and a flavor packet holder:

A little Cricut box filled with candy:

Chocolate bug head lollipops:

And boxes to hold the door prize tickets:

More Mania projects and photos to come!

Circle Crop~Day Two

On March 3, I hosted a second day of cropping fun for Cricut Circle members at Homewood Suites. Sharon and Cindy were able to join us as well as 21 other Circle members. We had so much fun chatting and cropping and shopping and going out for lunch.

Here is what our Crop Room looked like:

The balloon topiary that fellow Circle member, Gina, taught me to make:

The name tags:

The cute pen and note pad favors:

The super secret door prizes:

The special Circle chocolate pretzel treats:

The adorable chocolate Bug Head lollipops:

And some of his friends! My daughter made 30 chocolate lollipops for us!

We had so much fun, I can hardly wait for the next time!

My Cricut "Bughead" Organizer

What to do with all those Cricut markers and extra blades? Keep them in a Cricut Bughead Organizer! This one is made from 2 bowls, 2 small wood candle holders, a wood bead, some wire, 2 small wood beads and some customized googly eyes!

I made one for a Hostess Gift for my friend Stephanie when she hosted the most awesome Woodstock SWARM. I also made these little treat containers for all the Cricuteers who came over to my crop area on Saturday morning. They are those plastic condiment cups with bugheads cut from Cricut green vinyl and filled with M&Ms.

While looking through some old supplies for some wire for the bughead antenna , I came across these cans that I painted for a craft fair  quite a few years ago. They are empty pineapple cans and I used acrylic craft paint. My father-in-law named them "Pump-Cans"!

A Hat for the Louisville Kentucky Circle Meet Up

When I heard there was going to be a hat contest for the Kentucky Meet Up, I immediately thought "derby hat"! So I took a plain white hat (from Party City) and wrapped the band with pink netting, leaving enough for a big bow and tails. Added lots of pink flowers that I cut with my Cricut using a DS file created by Capadia Designs. Added some thin green ribbons and more pink netting. A few Circle logos cut from glitter paper and viola!

Another Charm made for the Cricut Circle

I made this charm from a flat bead and vinyl.

A Shrinky Dink Charm

I made this charm (and lots more of them) for the Dallas Stampede using shrinky dinks!

Bunny Treat Bags

Made this with a scallop circle folded over the top of the bag and bunny ears from the Paper Doll Dress Up cart.
