cricut expression dust cover

I've seen these on ebay/etsy but I didn't want to pay $25 for them. Since my mom sews, I knew there had to be a pattern for it! I was searching and searching and I found it on Custom crops!

I cut out the pattern and made this all by myself... I was so proud. My mom normally does the sewing parts of my projects. Here's how it turned out!

freezer paper blankets

Hello Everyone!

I will be leaving for Manhattan/Newark tomrorow morning with my boyfriend! I know I haven't posted any real projects in awhile... so here's a couple before my trip!

I actually made this a couple of weeks ago. I posted this on the cricut MB but I didn't realize that I hadn't posted it on my blog. It's for my co-worker Fil. These are 8/10. I haven't finished the last 2... just been working on other things.

testing! Blogging from my phone...

cartridge overload!

today was obviously black Friday! I went to best buy, walmart, and Micheal's this morning. There were so many people that you think they're giving away stuff for free! Michael's was pretty empty. I bought a new cartridge there! PAGODA! An Asian culture inspired theme. And I bought like $30 worth of Christmas ribbons.

But the excitement came when I got to work today. Mia got a cricut! She camped out at walmart last night and got the walmart special edition expression. A blue one, for only $188! so sad. When I bought mine, it was $290!

Anyway then! cricutmachine.com had a really good sale on their cartridges. I originally had planned on buying only 3! However, I ended up with 6!!!! It just kept adding and it just kept on going! Mia bought 4 too. I told her she will never have extra money again. Because it will all go to cartridges! I buy a new cartridge almost every pay day.... My other co-worker Cecilia bought 3 cartridges. The 3 of us spend $326! I was a little upset with cricutmachine.com because AFTER I spent $326 I wanted to add something else to my order for Cecilia and they told me I couldn't!! and that I had to place a separate order. They only give free shipping on order over $200!

I've also been stashing up my cricut reward certificates. I had 1250 and I spent 900 pts to get a new cartridge! I got a total 8 cartridges today. Merry Christmas to me!

I got...
1. Pagoda
2. Mini Monograms
3. All Mixed up
4. Doodle Charms
5. Life's A Beach
6. My Community
7. Stamping Solutions
8. When It's Cold Outside

I know a lot of the ones I got are old cartridges but I've been wanting them for awhile and been keeping a list... There's still about 20 more cartridges that I want.. provocraft needs to slow down. I can't catch up!

white bedroom crafts?

Hello Everyone!

There will not be any real updates with new projects today. I have been working on several things but it's a secret until Christmas! hehe.

so I am so jealous of all the ladies who have their own scrapbook room/work studio! Everything I make is out of my little bedroom and sometimes I wish I had more space. Not only do I have all my arts & crafts stuff... I have TONS(like 70 pairs) of shoes! My closet is super filled. I don't have room for anything! I even have some stuff in my bathroom(glass etching cream and paint brushes are on my sink)

I am thinking about calling my blog "White Bedroom Crafts." I don't know how many of you guys are a fan of the TV show One Tree Hill but there is a character name Peyton. She named her record company "Red Bedroom Records" because her bedroom in high school was all red. Since my dad won't let me paint my room, it's just white. lol. So I thought it would be appropriate to call it "White Bedroom Crafts"? Eventually AND HOPEFULLY I'll get a seperate space just for all my hobbies! My daddy says he's going to build me a backhouse in our backyard but he's been saying that since I moved back in like 3 years ago!

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

christmas came early!

hehehe Christmas definitely came early! my oh-so-wonderful boyfriend got me the gypsy for Christmas! but he gave it to me earlyyyy!


I have yet to learn how to use it.... I've been carrying it in my purse. lol I need to really learn how to use it because I've had design studio since I've had my cricut over a year ago and I never learned how to use it! such a waste!

I know I haven't updated in sometime... because I've been busy with work, friends, boyfriend and projectssss

As I have mentioned in previous posts, the recreational football team at work asked me to do their football t-shirts!

and here they are! in support of breast cancer, they did PINK! I did 14 of them! with the help of Nye and Mia.


been working a new project! inspired from http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/photo_tiles/

they're photo coaster made out of tiles!

this is for my old boss Bruno! I will be going to New Jersey in two weeks and I will bring it to him then! He and his wife went to West Viriginia University so I'm sure they will love it!


these are for my test hooores. lol they love it when I make new projects because I always make it for them first.


for the boyfriend! living in Los Angeles, you have to be a Dodgers fan!


this is also for my boyfriend! it's a picture of us from our friends Sally and Wendy's birthday dinner.


a blanket i made for my co-worker


a set of coasters I made for co-workers Dad.

anyway, thanks for looking!

glass etching!

for so long I've been wanting to learn how to glass etch! I wasn't sure how to exactly do it with the vinyl. I was confused with the whole transfer tape things. so even though I bought a roll of vinyl ($10 for a roll!) I never got around to doing it. lately I've been reading a lot on cricut MB how to do it. I read that people use contact paper instead of vinyl. but I still wasn't sure what contact paper was or how to use it.... then i had a revelation! lol. i was thinking the linings you use inside your kitchen cabinet drawers, they're self-adhesive and I can cut a stencil out of it! so today at lunch, I went to 99cent only store with Nye and Mia and bought two rolls. and guess what! It's called, self-adhesive vinyl... and on the back of the paper, it says contact paper. haha


here's one of the rolls I bought, doesn't what it looks like because you're just using it as a stencil. You just peel it off after.


so I bought a wine glass for Mia, obviously. It's a lil bit harder to do it on surfaces that are round. because the vinyl is hard to get it around the glass.


here is the finish product!


a closer version. I just cut her name out with Storybook.


then I wanted to try something else, so I etched my mirror that I carry in my make up bag. It looks a lil bit off because I didn't use as much armor etch as I should have. but it gives it that lil vintage look.

I'm so excited of all these things I'm learning. such good ideas for Christmas presents!

freezer paper onesies

here's what I've been up to all day! I brought my cricut to Mike's house(he was super excited, cuz he gets to play his xbox)


these were made for Nye's lil cousin. i love the "absolutely not mom" one because she always says "absolutely not!" haha


this is for for my co-worker Ricky's granddaughter. he loves the Lakers so I made some Laker ones. I love the ones with the booties! came out super cute!


this is for my co-worker Ian's niece. I have no idea what some of the shirts mean but I just put whatever they ask me to put. lol.

my clothing line in action

me, mia, and nye in the freezer paper t's I made for breast cancer awareness month

the coolest thing since slice bread... freezer paper t's!

Boy I’ve been busy the last couple of days! I've discovered the coolest thing since slice bread! lol. Since I’ve been reading the cricut MB a lot lately, I’ve been learning a lot from those ladies there. I've read so much about how people did freezer paper t shirts. SO! The good old youtube showed me how it was done. I went searching for freezer paper and finally found it at Wal-Mart and bought some fabric paint at Michaels. ANDDD here are some of my “clothing line” (lol according to my co-workers)


My first freezer t shirt! The lady on the video says, if it’s my first time I should try it with something simple. So I just used one of my old shirts and just put a heart.


This one is for the twilighters! I had actually seen this on someone’s car. They had a vinyl decal. I thought it was really cool that it just looks simple, but if you read/watch the twilight saga you’d know what it means. But ummm doing the painting on ribbed tank tops…. Not such a good idea! Because as you can tell it’s kinda messed up! But I just wear it at home.


a baby onesie for Nye’s lil cousin. She calls him “fat-fat”


Mickey mouse t shirt!


This is for my boo gee teammate Robert for his birthday. It’s no $300 dolce & gabbana shirt (he spent $300 on a vintage batman t-shirt from dolce & gabbana. RIDICULOUS!) I told him the shirt I made was no dolce & gabbana but he had to wear it.


October is breast cancer awareness month, so I made some shirts for me, Nye and Mia to wear.


On the back of shirts, I put our last names with some stars.


One of my co-worker’s birthday is coming up and they paid me to do some t-shirts for them! Made with storybook, I thought it was ridiculously cute!


She’s turning 22 so I put that in the back.


“partner in crime” is for the birthday girl’s best friend. They absolutely loved it!

I love the freezer paper t’s! I’m going to do it on canvas bags too and gave away as Christmas presents. ALSO! They have a small recreational flag football team at work. And my bosses play on the team and they said they would pay me to do their team’s t-shirt. I’m very excited for this challenge! I want to try crazier designs. I’m not that pro yet but the more shirts I make, the more I’m learning.
